The Gift of Freedom and Peace
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 07, 2024
“The Gift of Freedom and Peace” The Lord is the source of all that is good, and our civil liberties certainly feel good. As we reflect on Independence Day, and the gratitude we may have for our freedoms and the peace in our country, we can consider the kind of freedom and peace the Lord wants to offer us. As He told His disciples "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27) | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Natural and Spiritual Freedom
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 07, 2024
As we reflect on Independence Day, we can be grateful for our natural freedom. But natural freedom is not exactly the same as spiritual freedom, which is one of the most precious gifts the Lord offers. From Divine Providence 73 we read "Freedom is wholly a matter of love, so that love and freedom are united... In general, there are three kinds of freedom: natural, rational, and spiritual freedom." How can civil liberties be used to support spiritual freedom? | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Remembering the Lord and Others
Worship Service: Informal Family - May 26, 2024
As we look toward Memorial Day, we consider the important part memory plays in feeling gratitude. How and what we remember is directly tied to our affections, what we love and what we choose. The Lord invites us to remember the blessing He offers us, if we choose. How? Come and see! | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

The Lord's Orders
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 07, 2024
"Children, have you any food." (John 21.5) After the Lord's resurrection, He sent the eleven disciples out to preach the gospel to all nations. Soon after He again appeared to them as they were fishing and asked "Children, have you any food?" and they replied no, for they had not caught any fish. Why were the disciples fishing when the Lord clearly gave them a command to go and preach the gospel? The disciples learned one more valuable lesson after the Lord’s resurrection. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Receiving Food from the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 07, 2024
"Truths cannot be implanted except by means of affections which well forth as from charity and love." (AC 4018.3) When the Lord sent His disciples out to preach the gospel, they already had practically all the knowledge needed for this important work. The Lord wanted His good news to spread to every nation, but He also hoped for the salvation of these very disciples. This Sunday we will see through the story of the Lord appearing to the disciples after His resurrection how it is only in doing the work of love that faith can save. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Prophecy and the Lord's Birth
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 26, 2023
Christmas commences with prophecy, as the Old Testament foretells the birth of the Lord. This Sunday, we delve into Isaiah's prophecies, considering his message to the people and the possible significance for his original audience. We also reflect on what these prophecies might have meant to those living just before the Lord's birth—the first Christmas. Exploring their thoughts and emotions allows us to draw parallels with our own experiences. Come and see! | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Glory! Truly Seeing the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 26, 2023
The Lord's birth marks the beginning of a process often called "glorification." Essentially, it unveils the genuine identity of the Lord – Human. This revelation echoes through prophetic voices, as seen in Isaiah 9: "For to us, a child is born... And he will be called... Mighty God...." The process of understanding God's true nature unfolds through foreshadowing prophecy, followed by the profound experience of witnessing His infancy. Come and see! | By Rev. Pearse M.

Angelic Mothers and Guardian Angels
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - May 14, 2023
At the crucifixion, Jesus gave charge of His mother Mary to the disciple John. And this reflects the invitation the Lord offers to us all. The Lord forms the church in our hearts. In as much as we love the truth, our neighbor, and the Lord, the church grows within us. Yes, the church has structure from the doctrines the Lord has given us through His Word. Yes, there is a natural organization of people who share the values of those teachings. But it is all from the Lord's love, and it is from that love that the church finds life. The family service will focus on angelic mothers and guardian angels. And yet, the teachings are related. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Faith, The Vessel of Love
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 06, 2016
This week we turn to the parable of the wise and foolish maidens. The Lord tells us that the kingdom of heaven is like being a wise maiden who brings extra oil with her so that if her lamp runs out, she will be ready. Oil represents love, but what does it mean to bring extra love, just in case? You can't have "extra love;" it isn’t a commodity, like oil. The Lord tells us that the key to having love is to also have faith. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Sarver, PA
