The New Church is a Christian denomination based on the Bible and the revelation given to Emanuel Swedenborg. We believe that true faith is loving the Lord Jesus Christ by following his teachings and being of service to others.

  • “The Very Hairs of Your Head Are Numbered...”

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 28 Sep, 2025

    The Lord knows us better than we know ourselves. As He sat at the table with the twelve disciples at the Last Supper, we can picture the Lord looking each disciple in the eye, one by one, helping them see things they couldn’t have seen on their own. What did He see? How does it help us knowing that the Lord knows us better than we know ourselves? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Facing the Floods of Life

    Worship Service: Children & Adult - 28 Sep, 2025

    There are big, life-altering, spiritual challenges that we all face from time to time. Most of us would rather not have that be the case. But they are inevitable, and the truth is they are also necessary. We need to have opportunities to face our flaws, take on our selfishness, and allow the Lord to build us back up into better people. This Sunday we will look at how we can become more accepting of the fact that spiritual life requires times of turmoil as well as times of peace and contentment. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA

  • Choosing Your Heritage

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 21 Sep, 2025

    You can’t pick your ancestors. The ones you’ve got are the ones your stuck with. The same is true of your heritage in general. For good or ill, your heredity is set. This is also true spiritually: you have inherited from birth an inclination towards certain evils. But that does not mean that we are stuck with them: we can, and indeed must, be truly born again from the Lord. While that will not change where we have come from, it will change our future. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA

  • Don’t Tell Anyone

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 21 Sep, 2025

    In the Gospels, sometimes the Lord heals someone in an amazing way but then tells them not to tell anyone. Other times, He specifically instructs them to go and tell others what has happened. This Sunday, we will explore why the Lord might have done this, and what it means for us—when we should keep quiet and when we should spread the good news. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Getting into Heaven is Easy

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 14 Sep, 2025

    Jesus said: “Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). This teaching has led many to believe that it is difficult to get to heaven, but others wonder why God would make it difficult to get there. So, ask yourself this question: “Is it easy or difficult to get to heaven?” This is the question we will attempt to answer on Sunday! | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Westville, RSA

  • Covenant Renewal

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 14 Sep, 2025

    The purpose of this service will be to explore ways in which we can re-dedicate ourselves as individuals and as a congregation to the covenantal relationships we’ve formed with each other and with the Lord. We’re taught that “covenants are made for the sake of love, friendship, and companionship, and therefore for the sake of union” (Life 60), but they can’t work unless we give our consent (AC 8778). The need for periodic covenant renewals is a strong and consistent theme in the Scriptures, and so we will be considering Joshua’s farewell speech (Joshua 24) as a template for how we can strengthen our loyalty and commitment to the Lord and each other. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Spoiling of the Nations

  • The First Commandment

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 7 Sep, 2025

    “You shall have no other gods before my face.” (Exodus 20:3) This is the first of the Ten Commandments and all the commandments that come after it relate back to it. What and who do we bow down to and serve instead of the Lord our God? How can we learn to identify those gods and reject them and instead love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our strength? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Saul’s Intentions

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 31 Aug, 2025

    Is it OK to sort of or even mostly follow the Lord’s Commandments? Something is better than nothing, right? When King Saul was commanded to destroy the Amalekites, he mostly did what the Lord said. This Sunday we’ll find out how that went for him, and what it means for our intentions. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Pure in Heart Shall See God

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 24 Aug, 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

  • Perfectionism

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 17 Aug, 2025

    Life would have little meaning or purpose if we didn’t set goals for ourselves and if we didn’t push ourselves to put in our best effort. But striving to be perfect is very different from being perfect. We often confuse the two. The first is part of the Lord’s plan, the second is a lie perpetuated by the hells which causes tremendous damage because we end up demanding perfection of ourselves and others. In the story of the Rich Young Ruler, the Lord addresses the question of perfectionism and provides an answer that is truly freeing (Matthew 19:16-22). | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Results Don't Matter

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 10 Aug, 2025

    Of course results matter! But they don’t matter in the way we might think. We tend to think that if some choice we make has a good or pleasant result, then we made the right choice; and if it has a bad or painful result then we must have made the wrong choice. The Lord, however, encourages us to do the right thing regardless of the (apparent) outcome. The immediate results won’t tell us much about whether we have done right or wrong. It’s more important for us to do what is right according to the Lord’s guidance rather than relying on our limited view of the results. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA

  • Our Spiritual Reality: Grappling with Hell

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 10 Aug, 2025

    If we want to really understand our spiritual reality, we have to grapple with the reality of hell. This Sunday, we will take some time with images and teachings about hell in the Old Testament, New Testament, and the teachings for the New Church. We will be looking directly at some of the most difficult and darkest aspects of human life. At the same time, we will reflect on our loving God, who shines light into even the darkest places and reaches out in love and infinite mercy to even the darkest of hearts. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Great Potter

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 3 Aug, 2025

    This Sunday’s family talk explores how the Lord is like a potter and we are like clay in His hands. We’ll see how the Lord shapes our lives, and how, when we create with love and care, our works can reflect His. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
