“Spiritual Buying and Selling”
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 21, 2024
“Spiritual Buying and Selling” (Matthew 13:45) The Word sometimes compares the spiritual process of regeneration to the process of buying and selling. Often the “selling” part seems difficult, as when the Lord tells the rich young man to sell all that he has. But the selling does not always have to be sorrowful. How can we sell gladly? | By Rev. Stephen D. Cole | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

We Are Never Lost When the Lord Leads Us
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 20, 2023
The Israelites were lost in the wilderness for 40 years. Have you ever been lost? Even if there are other people lost with you, it can be scary. You don't know which way to go, you don't how long you will be lost. But, fortunately, in the Word, the story has a happy ending, for the Lord led them out of the wilderness. How can we get the Lord's help like that when we feel lost? | By Rev. Stephen D. Cole | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Wandering in the Wilderness
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 20, 2023
"They went astray in the wilderness" (Mark 9:24) Psalm 107:4 says of the Israelites: "They went astray in the wilderness." Their wandering in the wilderness is one of the major stories in the Old Testament and speaks to the way that many of us may feel, at least in certain times in life. When we feel lost or directionless, it is hard to know what to do. The wilderness is said to represent a state of temptation. But perhaps this prompts a question in the minds of some: If the Israelites were being tempted, what were they being tempted to do, or not to do? | By Rev. Stephen D. Cole | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

What Did Swedenborg Know About the Holy Land?
Banquet Address - January 27, 2023
The Word is full of references to places in the Holy Land and the Heavenly Doctrine explains the significance of many of them.

The Glory of the Lord
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 29, 2020
In the Christmas story, we find Simeon prophesying that the Lord will be "the glory of my people Israel." Does this simply mean that Israel will be proud of the Lord or that He will make them great? What does "glory" really mean? The Lord came into the world to "glorify" His human. Is this "glorification" somehow related to "glory"? | By Rev. Stephen D. Cole | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
