The Word of God
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 29, 2023
Community Service. We will be reminding ourselves of how powerful the Word of God is and how lucky we are to have it in our lives and community. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Story of the Word
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 10, 2023
The Word is, at heart, a story. It’s true that at times the nature of the story is opaque, but the central message is straightforward: God created people in order to love; when they turned away, and nearly destroyed themselves, He continued to love them; and in time, come down as Jesus Christ to save us; and this work of saving us carries on even today. This Sunday we will explore how the story that the Word tells can be life-changing. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAWhen We Don’t Understand the Word
Worship Service: Informal Family - January 15, 2023
Maybe you started reading the Lord’s Word again in this new year or maybe you’ve been in the habit for years. It’s great when you feel like you’re understanding the Word and getting something out of it, but what do you do when you don’t understand the Word? Let’s talk this Sunday about how much we should expect to understand the Lord’s Word and how we can still benefit from reading the Word, even when we don’t feel like we’re understanding very much. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallReading the Word
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - March 27, 2022
Have you ever wondered why it is important to read the Word? What can it do for you, and the angels? And did you realize that here is an area where you can do something better than your parents ever can? | By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith | Bryn Athyn CathedralReading the Word
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 27, 2022
We've heard how important it is for us to read the Word on a regular basis. But what does it actually do - for the angels and for us? And how can this be a useful endeavor even if our eyesight is not so crisp, or we feel that there is not much use we can do for others? | By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith | Bryn Athyn CathedralWords to Live By
Worship Service: Informal Family - February 20, 2022
What do we mean when we talk about “the Word?” Is it just a book on an altar? Or is it more than that? This Sunday we’ll explore what it means to be guided by “the Word.” | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallHard Statements: Breaking the Two Testaments of Stone
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 18, 2021
Reading particularly in the Old Testament, but also in places in the New Testament, we can run across statements that not only do not reflect a loving God, but actually convey the opposite idea. If we are to hold onto the idea that the Lord is perfect love expressing itself in perfect wisdom, we need to know why the Word speaks so differently from what we might expect. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralJonah - Part 2
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 02, 2020
Jonah after being rescued from the sea by the sea creature that the Lord prepared, went to Nineveh as commanded. The people of Nineveh heeded the warning and showed their remorse. This is a message about how we all should be listening to both the Lord and the people in our life who help us to see that something about our life is harmful and needs to change. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PAJonah - Part 1
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 26, 2020
The Jonah story describes a human situation in which false assumptions and prejudices almost cost Jonah and the other people on the ship with him their lives. Being rescued by the Lord in the belly of a sea creature gave him the chance to truly reflect on his life and on the Lord's mercy. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PASpiritual Blindness

"These things I have spoken to you that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full." (John 15:11) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Hidden Power of the Word
Worship Service: Informal Family - May 05, 2019
The Word isn’t just a confusing blend of worldly stories, laws and ‘begats’ that reflect an ancient people and their past. The Word is an external framework that supports inner, spiritual truths that explain who God is and His inner workings with the universe. Its truths offer great power for protection and healing. We can use this power to see how the Lord constantly works behind the scenes to support us and our spiritual health. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallLove Over Ego, Part 2 - Intentions Over Expectations
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 10, 2019
Daniel's wisdom is a product of His dependance on the Lord. When faced with a situation, it is His reliance on the Lord even for his understanding that brings him and his friends through. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PALove over Ego, Part 1 - True Identity
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 03, 2019
Daniel sought to maintain his Jewish identity within a foreign culture, but also to succeed within that culture. Daniel stove to not defile himself according to Jewish law, and chose to pursue this by regulating his consumption. Paying attention to what we take in and where it comes from is the starting place for choosing an identity in the Lord. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAPsalm 119 - Hope in Your Word
Worship Service: Children & Adult - January 06, 2019
The Lord is present in and through the Word. His Divine Love and Wisdom are the source. The Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled the Word. He teaches us as we seek understanding from it and instills love for Him as we approach Him in it. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAYou Crown the Year with Goodness
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 30, 2018
The Lord crowns our year with goodness. If we look, we can see the good the Lord has done for us in the last year. His goodness encircles our life and tops it off. The goodness drops as richness of life from heaven. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAThe Flight into Egypt - and Related Events
Worship Service: Children & Adult - December 30, 2018
“Now when [the wise men] had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, ‘Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.’” (Matthew 2:13). A post-Christmas service for the last Sunday in 2018. | By Rev. Michael D. Gladish | Mitchellville, MDThe Gifts of the Wise Men
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 23, 2018
The Wise Men gave their gifts because combined the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh symbolize all worship owed to the Lord. In total, worship is must be from the heart, head, and life. When we fully commit to the Lord in that way, we give the gifts of the Wise Men. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAWhy God Was Born As A Human

The Lord Jesus Christ is present with us through the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth that leads to truth. We find this through Scripture and it is through Scripture that the Lord has a power effect to heal you and make you knew. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAThanksgiving - First Fruits
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 22, 2018

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 30, 2018
The past two Sundays Malcolm talked about reading the Bible, sharing techniques for how to do it and how to know if you're doing it right. This week we carry on with the same theme but with a slightly different perspective: not so much how to read the Bible but what happens when we do. Or to put it another way, moving from what we need to actively do to what the Lord does to us in response. If we prepare well, then reading the Bible becomes a source of light and guidance in our lives. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
