Practicing Forgiveness - Transformation
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 25 Mar, 2018
This Sunday is Palm Sunday and the last Sunday of our Practicing Forgiveness programme. Throughout these past few weeks we've talked about the difference that forgiveness can make - in an individual's life and in society in general. We understand the before picture and we like the after picture but how do we get from one to the other? This Sunday we'll try to understand more of what comes in between in the process of being transformed by forgiveness. The sermon was written by John L. Odhner, read by Malcolm Smith. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA
Practicing Forgiveness - Forgiveness within Ourselves
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 18 Mar, 2018
We have talked about how we are called to forgive those who have hurt us, and to seek forgiveness from other people and from the Lord for the things we have done. This Sunday we will consider another important aspect of forgiveness: forgiveness within ourselves. There are times when other people may have forgiven us and the Lord certainly has but we still beat up on ourselves and we can't seem to let it go. The Lord can help us to understand why this happens and help us to get free. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA
Practicing Forgiveness - Being Forgiven
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 11 Mar, 2018
We have all needed to be forgiven at one time or another. It's tempting at these times to think a simple "I'm sorry" will suffice. But when it comes to forgiveness "sorry" just doesn't cut it. Although when we say sorry it may be heartfelt it does nothing to change us or our situation. It is when we recognise our fault and make an effort to change that we can receive real forgiveness. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA

Worship Service: Informal Family - 29 Oct, 2017
In the story of the paralyzed man who was brought to Jesus through the roof, the Lord said, “Your sins are forgiven you…. Arise, take up your bed and walk” (Mark 2). In what ways does being unforgiving or unforgiven paralyze us? In what ways does forgiveness transform us, and allow us to take new steps on our spiritual journey? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Forgiving Ourselves
Worship Service: Informal Family - 22 Oct, 2017
We all make mistakes, often. We will need to receive forgiveness for many of those. Yet we can sometimes be our own harshest critics. How do we forgive ourselves for our mistakes so that we can find peace and hope? We will look at the story of the woman the Lord saved from being stoned, and said to her "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more." (John 8). | By Rev. Erik J. Buss , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Being Forgiven
Worship Service: Informal Family - 15 Oct, 2017
In the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32), this son had done some wrong things. But he turned his life around and returned to his father who lovingly forgave him. His brother didn’t want to forgive him. Each of the characters represent parts of us on the journey of forgiveness; the journey of being lost and then found; the journey home. In order to complete this journey, forgiveness and repentance need to go hand in hand. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
