The Second Commandment
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 05, 2025
What does it really mean to “take the Lord’s name in vain?” For many of us, this commandment may feel like an easy check mark, but if we look below the surface, we will find that there is much more than meets the eye. In one interaction in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says that not everyone who says to Him “Lord, Lord” shall enter the kingdom of heaven. What do His words teach us about the power of His name and how we should hold it? | By Steven Gunther | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Pure in Heart Shall See God
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 24, 2025
At the very beginning of Jesus’ most famous sermon – the Sermon on the Mount – He begins by calling out groups of people and offering them blessings. To one group He says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). This may seem strange, after all what does the quality of our heart have to do with our ability to see? In this message, though, there is a powerful message about how we receive and develop our faith. | By Steven Gunther | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Loving our Country as Our Neighbor
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 06, 2025
As we celebrate Independence Day this week, it's useful to reflect on what it means to love our country. The Heavenly Doctrines tell us that loving our neighbor includes loving our country, but what does that look like in practice? How can we love something as big and complex as a whole country? | By Steven Gunther | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

From the Least to the Greatest: Loving Our Country
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 06, 2025
After we celebrate Independence Day this week, we’ll reflect on what it means to love our country as an expression of loving our neighbor. The Heavenly doctrines teach us about degrees of the neighbor that are like steps on a ladder leading to the Lord. This Sunday, we will consider how simple everyday charity can be a powerful form of patriotism and—more importantly—how it connects us to the Lord. | By Steven Gunther | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Listening with Compassion
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 07, 2021
When Hagar faces an incredibly difficult situation, she makes a rash decision. Rather than chastising her or punishing her, the Lord responds with compassion and helps her save her son. We can follow the Lord's example in this story and learn to listen with compassion, even when people may not be communicating in the healthiest way. | By Steven Gunther | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Listen to Moses
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 03, 2021
Candidate Steven Gunther. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16 can help us see the value in listening to the Lord and doing the work He calls us to do. If we push it off until some later time, we will only make it harder for us to do the right thing. | By Steven Gunther | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Are You Convinced?
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 03, 2021
Candidate Steven Gunther. What does it take for us to believe something is true? We will look at the parable of the rich man and Lazarus to see what it really means to be convinced by something, especially the things that Lord teaches us in the Word. | By Steven Gunther | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
