  • The Widow's Oil

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 12 May, 2024

    (2 Kings 4:1-7) A poor widow saved her two sons when her small jar of oil kept pouring and pouring into borrowed vessels. As the Lord prepares us for life in heaven, there’s a lot we can learn from other people. But in the end, the Lord wants us to use the goodness and truth He provides as if it actually belonged to us. | By Rev. Kurt Hyland Asplundh , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Borrow Vessels, Shut the Door

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 12 May, 2024

    2 Kings 4: 1-7. To make possible the miraculous regeneration of her small jar of oil, Elisha instructed the indebted widow to “borrow vessels” and “shut the door.” The imagery here suggests that our spiritual lives develop as a result of some combination of both “borrowed states” and the private decisions of our conscience. | By Rev. Kurt Hyland Asplundh , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Reaching Out

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 5 May, 2024

    At this Community Service will be talking about having the courage to reach out—reaching out to offer help and reaching out to ask for help. Let’s talk about what stops us from reaching out and how the Lord can help us to reach out anyway. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Memorial Service for Lauretta Klein

    Memorial Service - 4 May, 2024

    Laurie Klein passed peacefully into the spiritual world in the early morning hours of Saturday, April 6. She was 89 years old. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Why Does the Lord Need Guards to Protect Him?

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

    In several stories in the Word the Lord is surrounded by guards. Why is this? What do they do? | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Guardians of Holiness

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 28 Apr, 2024

    One of the most brilliant devices that the Lord has built into creation is His way of protecting us from His overwhelming power, leaving us in freedom to think and do what we want. The heavenly watchdogs that appear in both the Old and the New Testaments show how He does this. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Memorial Service for June Marie Smith

    Memorial Service - 26 Apr, 2024

    June Marie Smith of Lansdale, PA passed into the spiritual world on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. She was 92 years old. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Pearl of Great Price

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

    One of the ways that the Lord describes the kingdom of heaven is as a man buying and selling pearls. What is it about pearls that makes them a picture of what heaven is like? And how can we be like the man who buys and sells them? | By Rev. Stephen Dandridge Cole , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • “Spiritual Buying and Selling”

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 21 Apr, 2024

    “Spiritual Buying and Selling” (Matthew 13:45) The Word sometimes compares the spiritual process of regeneration to the process of buying and selling. Often the “selling” part seems difficult, as when the Lord tells the rich young man to sell all that he has. But the selling does not always have to be sorrowful. How can we sell gladly? | By Rev. Stephen Dandridge Cole , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • "Build houses, plant gardens..."

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 14 Apr, 2024

    (Jeremiah 29:3) Gardens feature prominently in the Scriptures, beginning with the Garden of Eden in Genesis and ending in Revelation with the garden appearing again, this time in the midst of the Holy City New Jerusalem. It’s significant too that the Lord chose to rise from the tomb in the midst of a garden. All of the physical delights of a garden - the sights, sounds, textures, smells, tastes – represent what happens when we invite the order and symmetry of the truths of the Lord’s Word into our lives. In this service we will explore the profound spiritual principle that our choices determine our spiritual environment. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • "The Word is like a garden"

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 14 Apr, 2024

    “The Word is like a garden…” (TC 259). “Build houses, plant gardens.” (Jeremiah 29:5)) Gardens feature prominently in the Scriptures, beginning with the Garden of Eden in Genesis and ending in Revelation with the garden appearing again, this time in the midst of the Holy City New Jerusalem. It’s significant too that the Lord chose to rise from the tomb in the midst of a garden. All of the physical delights of a garden - the sights, sounds, textures, smells, tastes – represent what happens when we invite the order and symmetry of the truths of the Lord’s Word into our lives.

  • The Lord's Orders

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

    "Children, have you any food." (John 21.5) After the Lord's resurrection, He sent the eleven disciples out to preach the gospel to all nations. Soon after He again appeared to them as they were fishing and asked "Children, have you any food?" and they replied no, for they had not caught any fish. Why were the disciples fishing when the Lord clearly gave them a command to go and preach the gospel? The disciples learned one more valuable lesson after the Lord’s resurrection. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Receiving Food from the Lord

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 7 Apr, 2024

    "Truths cannot be implanted except by means of affections which well forth as from charity and love." (AC 4018.3) When the Lord sent His disciples out to preach the gospel, they already had practically all the knowledge needed for this important work. The Lord wanted His good news to spread to every nation, but He also hoped for the salvation of these very disciples. This Sunday we will see through the story of the Lord appearing to the disciples after His resurrection how it is only in doing the work of love that faith can save. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • "He Will Raise Us Up"

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 31 Mar, 2024

    | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • What Kind of Savior Do You Need?

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 24 Mar, 2024

    When Jesus came riding into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday the people cheered and cried out for Him to save them. They were hoping that a king of the natural world was riding into town to throw off their Roman oppressors. That wasn’t what the Lord was there to do but He was there to save them. If a powerful person could ride into your life and change things drastically, what would you want them to do? Maybe the Lord won’t do that, but what sort of spiritual salvation could He give you? This year we will have two identical services, both in the nave (there will be no Young Children’s or Informal Family Service in the Undercroft). There will be one talk for the whole family. At the end of the service, people will be invited to pick up palm branches on their way out of the building to then form a crowd outside and an actor playing the Lord will come past with a live donkey, while people sing and cheer. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • A Servant to All

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 17 Mar, 2024

    | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Taking up the Cross

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 17 Mar, 2024

    When the Lord’s disciples argued over who might sit on the Lord’s right hand and left hand in heaven, the Lord called them to think differently about greatness: they should seek to be least, rather than greatest, and to serve, rather than being served (Mark 10). How do we live by those teachings? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Sticking Up for What's Right

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 10 Mar, 2024

    It can be pretty hard to live the way the Lord wants, especially when those around us push us to do otherwise. David had this experience while on the run from Saul, with his own men pushing him to take the easy way out. But David persists in doing what the Lord wants. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Nobody Ever Said It Would Be Easy

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 10 Mar, 2024

    The early stories of David are an excellent example of doing the right thing and having a hard time because of it. It’s tempting to take the easy way out in order to avoid discomfort or even pain. The Lord asks us to trust the long game. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Memorial Service for Francis P. Cauthorn

    Memorial Service - 4 Mar, 2024

    Francis P. Cauthorn passed into the spiritual world on Friday, February 9, 2024. He was 77 years old. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Lord's Last Words

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 3 Mar, 2024

    As we turn our thoughts towards Easter, we can see in “The Lord’s Last Words” on the cross there is infinite divine love offering forgiveness, compassion and hope as the culmination of everything that the Lord said and did, and as an inspiration for how we can care for each other (Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19). | By Rev. John L. Odhner , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Who are you Following?

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 25 Feb, 2024

    We are all “followers” of one thing or another – a favorite athlete, team, musician, artist, brand, expert – the list goes on. We tend to follow whoever or whatever interests us and, depending on the intensity of the interest, we allow it to influence us in small or big ways. This Sunday, we’ll be exploring what happened the day after the Feeding of the 5,000 when many of the followers of Jesus “walked with Him no more” (John 6:66). | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Know Your Spiritual Enemies: The Syrians

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

    At times the Syrians were a persistent and deadly enemy of the children of Israel but, more than once, the children of Israel were instructed to care for the Syrians instead of destroying them. Why was this and what can we learn from this about how the Lord wants us to live? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
