Worship Service: Informal Family - June 23, 2024
After the prophecies of the book of Revelation came to pass, the Lord called together His twelve disciples who followed Him in the world. They went to spread the good news that the Lord reigns. What is so good about this news? Come find out! | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral UndercroftTurning to the Lord
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 16, 2023
Life is at times sunny and bright, and we keenly feel the Lord’s presence. At other times life is dark and stormy, and the Lord seems absent. We move from one state to another. The Lord, on the other hand, is constant: appearances to the contrary, He never ceases to bless our lives with love and wisdom. It is up to us to practice turning back to Him, so that we can realize what has been true all along: that He has been at our side, loving and guiding us, through all the states of life. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAFire from Heaven

In 1 Kings 18, Elijah the prophet challenged the prophets of Baal to a contest: Whoever could call fire from heaven to their altar would prove that theirs was the real god.

The Lord is compared to an eagle that “hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up, carrying them on its wings.” (Deuteronomy 32:11).

Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father but by Me." So, we understand that there is only one way we can really think about and love God, and that is in the human form, as the Lord, Jesus Christ. Even so, we do not see God in the Lord's natural body, we see Him in His love, His wisdom, and His power. Let's think about this today and see how the infinite God reveals Himself in the life and teachings of the Man, Jesus. | By Rev. Michael D. Gladish | Bryn Athyn CathedralDivine Garments

If we read the Gospels we find a description of His clothing in almost every major part of His ministry. The Lord’s clothing, ever changing, is a representation of the many ways He comes to us in our lives.

Thomas L. Kline | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallJohn's Vision of the Lord

John had followed Jesus for three years. But now John was an old man living on the Island of Patmos. And here the Lord appeared to John in a totally new way.

When John saw the Lord appearing before him on the Isle of Patmos, he was able to see and behold the very essence of God.

This first chapter in the book of Revelation describes the miracle that each of us is to experience in our relationship with the Lord. | By Rt. Rev. Thomas L.

Throughout the history of religion, God's various qualities have been depicted in various ways in the many different cultures across the globe.
