Love Over Ego - Part 4 - Unashamed Humility

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 03, 2019

When a person hits rock bottom, there can be a lot of shame. This is especially true if it seemed for a long time that he had everything together, only to have it all come crashing down. But shame is not where a person has to end. Every failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. When we take that opportunity, the greatest lesson we learn is that of embracing humility and rising out of shame. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Love Over Ego - Part 3 - The Freedom to Say No

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 24, 2019

This Sunday we will be working through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego and how they were not willing to bow down to an idol that Nebuchadnezzar set up, even if it would mean that they would be burned to death in a furnace as punishment. How did they have such strength in their convictions? Would we be willing to stick to our faith if doing so could result in us facing similarly dire consequences? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Love over Ego, Part 4 - Humility Over Shame

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 24, 2019

Nebuchadnezzar learns humility before the Lord through the loss of his sanity. Our sense of humility before the Lord can be a chief virtue that guides and directs our sense of shame. At the same time, having a community that pegs our sense of shame in relationship to the Lord's values is useful to our spiritual health. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Love Over Ego, Part 3 - Confidence Over Arrogance

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 17, 2019

Nebuchadnezzar demanded that the Jews in exile, participate in the court worship of idols on the threat of death. The three Jews in question refused because they were not going to commit idolatry. Idolatry in our age is ways of thinking and living, it is the things that we make most important in our life. Can we have the courage to think and live as the Lord invites us to even at pain of persecution and rejection by others? | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Love Over Ego - Part 2 - Wisdom in Humility

Worship Service: Childrens Talk only - February 17, 2019

The path to wisdom lasts a lifetime, and even then is never truly finished. Even the wisest man alive is pitifully ignorant compared to the vast wisdom of the Lord. Yet still we strive to grow in wisdom and intelligence, as we ought to do. We turn to experts, to podcasts and books, to life experiences and rationally thought-out plans. We expect that if we only had the right information we would be able to master life. Paradoxically though, wisdom does not ultimately come from grasping at worldly knowledge: it comes when we humbly look to the Lord and acknowledge our own shortcomings. That is the wisdom that will let us master life. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Love 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, PA

Love Over Ego - Taking a Stand

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 10, 2019

This Sunday we begin our series on the Daniel story, Love Over Ego. When the story begins, Daniel is taken far away from his home to live in captivity in Babylon. But Daniel is given an opportunity to get special treatment and to move up the ladder. When we find ourselves in similar difficult circumstances it’s very easy to justify doing whatever we need to do in order to get ahead. But Daniel, instead, does not just go with the flow and take what’s given to him; he takes a stand for what the Lord teaches. Come on Sunday to hear what happens to him and to reflect on how we also can take a stand for what the Lord teaches. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Love 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, PA

Love Wins

Worship Service: Informal Family - November 04, 2018

In the final week of “Love Over Ego,” we look at the story of Daniel in the lion’s den (Daniel 6). The Babylonian governors got King Darius to make a law that everyone had to worship him. Daniel continued to pray to the Lord, and so he was thrown in the lion’s den. How does this story illustrate love finally winning over ego? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Contentment over Materialism

Worship Service: Informal Family - October 28, 2018

Can we avoid letting anxiety and worry diminish our feelings of contentment, peace and satisfaction? Can material things reduce our quality of life as well as increase it? We continue our Journey series about the book of Daniel and Love Over Ego with the story of the next king of Babylon (Daniel chapter 5). Belshazzar has a great feast using the gold and silver vessels stolen from the temple in Jerusalem. A hand appears writing a mysterious warning. It seems that Belshazzar cares only about power and wealth. Daniel has no desire for the rewards of power and wealth that the king offers. He trusts the Lord for all his needs. We too can choose “Contentment over Materialism” like Daniel, who did not covet the rewards and riches that Belshazzar so highly valued. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

King Belshazzar and his one thousand guests drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze and Iron, wood and stone.

Humility over Shame

Worship Service: Informal Family - October 21, 2018

In week four of “Love over Ego,” we look at Daniel chapter four, in which Nebuchadnezzar had a dream of a tall tree that was chopped down to a stump. Our ego sometimes thinks too highly of ourselves, but our ego can also feel the shame of being ‘cut down to size.’ How can we instead find true humility, which opens us back up to the Lord’s love and joy? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
