  • Know Your Spiritual Enemies: The Babylonians

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 25 Aug, 2024

    This Sunday we will be talking about the last of our spiritual enemies, the Babylonians. This is the enemy that took Judah into captivity towards the end of the Old Testament story; this is one of the final enemies that had to be overthrown before the Holy City New Jerusalem could descend towards the end of the New Testament. What do the Babylonians represent in our lives and what do we need to do so that the Lord can save us from them? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Don't Look Back

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 18 Aug, 2024

    A number of stories in the Word warn us not to “look back” or “turn back” once we’ve made the decision to go forward. This speaks to the fact that there are certain times in our lives when we need to “move on” and put “hand to plough” (Luke 9:62). But what about those times in our lives when we “look back” with nostalgia, with fondness, on what has come before? Is this not appropriate? What’s the difference between these two kinds of “looking back,” and how do they help us move forward? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

    The beginning of the Gospel of John (1:3) describes the Lord creating everything.

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 4 Aug, 2024

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 4 Aug, 2024

    A person who reads a few chapters each day from the Old and New Testaments can read all of the stories that contain a continuous internal sense in one year. Reading through the Old Testament there are many stories that don’t seem to portray a loving God. Sometimes God seems to command genocide. Often, He expresses condemnation and severe consequences. How does the Heavenly Doctrine help us to see something very different within these stories? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • A Garment of Praise

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 28 Jul, 2024

    “Shem’s Garment” (Genesis 9:18-27, Secrets of Heaven 1079) will explore how we can help people when we see that they have fallen into “errors and perversions.” A key is to focus on comfort rather than criticism. | By Rev. John L. Odhner , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Prodigal Son's Brother

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 21 Jul, 2024

    Most of us spend more time complaining than perhaps we should, especially when hardships start to stack up. Should we complain less? Should we feel bad about complaining?

  • The Gift of Freedom and Peace

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 7 Jul, 2024

    “The Gift of Freedom and Peace” The Lord is the source of all that is good, and our civil liberties certainly feel good. As we reflect on Independence Day, and the gratitude we may have for our freedoms and the peace in our country, we can consider the kind of freedom and peace the Lord wants to offer us. As He told His disciples "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27) | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Natural and Spiritual Freedom

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 7 Jul, 2024

    As we reflect on Independence Day, we can be grateful for our natural freedom. But natural freedom is not exactly the same as spiritual freedom, which is one of the most precious gifts the Lord offers. From Divine Providence 73 we read "Freedom is wholly a matter of love, so that love and freedom are united... In general, there are three kinds of freedom: natural, rational, and spiritual freedom." How can civil liberties be used to support spiritual freedom? | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • As It Is in Heaven

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 30 Jun, 2024

    This Community Worship service is the culminating event for the 2024 General Church Assembly.

Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • “High Walls, Open Gates"

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 23 Jun, 2024

    (Rev. 21:9-25) The New Jerusalem has high walls to proclaim the truth of the Word and open gates welcoming everyone into the city. Why have high walls when the gates never close? The Lord wants us to understand how both are important if we are going to be the church. | By Rev. Scott I. Frazier , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Beasts of the Land and Sea

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 23 Jun, 2024

    "Beast of the Sea, Beast of the Land" These two beasts are negative images of laity and clergy. By understanding the warnings involved, both groups can cooperate with the Lord to be His church on earth. We can also reject these beasts in our own lives to join Him in His heavenly kingdom. | By Rev. Scott I. Frazier , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • “I Saw Heaven Opened...”

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 16 Jun, 2024

    “I Saw Heaven Opened...” (Rev. 19:11). The strange and mysterious symbols in the book of Revelation depict the birth, struggle and growth of the New Church on earth. The joyful refrain, “I saw heaven opened,” ushers in the wonderful news that the Word, the Sacred Scriptures, can now be seen in heaven’s light in a way like never before. This is cause for celebration. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Power of Symbols

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 16 Jun, 2024

    Symbols, like pictures, speak a thousand words. This is especially true for symbols in the Word – they hold great power and personal significance to us because they embody spiritual values and attitudes we wish to adopt and emulate. The symbols of the Word, especially in the book of Revelation, remind us of what’s truly important in life which is why we rejoice at the refrain, “I saw heaven opened…” (Revelation 9:11). | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • An Open Door

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 9 Jun, 2024

    What does it take to walk through the door to heaven that the Lord holds open to us? Our focus on Sunday will be on responding to the Lord’s invitation by steadfastly putting effort into doing as the Lord asks. | By Rt. Rev. Peter Martin Buss, Jr. , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Hold Fast to What You Have

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 9 Jun, 2024

    (Revelation 3:7-13) The people of the church in Philadelphia were praised for their perseverance in the midst of struggle. They were commanded to “hold fast” to what they have. We are called to a kind of spiritual tenaciousness that has us rely on the Lord and the things in His Word, and to the extent that we can we will be blessed. | By Rt. Rev. Peter Martin Buss, Jr. , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
