  • Know Your Spiritual Enemies: The Amorites

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 19 Nov, 2023

    This year we’ve been working our way through a series of sermons on ancient enemies in the stories of the Word and their spiritual significance in our lives today. The Amorites will be our focus this Sunday. This enemy shows up in a number of different stories but particularly in the stories of the conquest of the land. We will be exploring the spiritual implications of the idea that our spiritual lives (represented by the Children of Israel) must find their home in areas previously governed by selfishness and worldliness (represented by the Amorites). | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Saving Nineveh

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 12 Nov, 2023

    The book of Jonah is about the spiritual welfare of the great city, Nineveh. Will Jonah be convinced that Nineveh is worth saving or will he just sit outside the city and sulk? Why was Jonah so reluctant to go to Nineveh in the first place? And why, after the people of Nineveh demonstrated a willingness to repent, was Jonah still angry? What does “Nineveh” represent in our lives? There are times when we deem certain situations or circumstances irredeemable, not worth saving, but then the Lord presses us to reconsider, saying, “should I not pity Nineveh, that great city?” (Jonah 4:11). | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Becoming an Angel Today

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 22 Oct, 2023

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 15 Oct, 2023

    (Psalm 84). Using the image of a nest or home in the Psalms, we will explore what it can mean to live a life that intentionally includes the Lord. Our homes are where we belong, can recharge and get centered—and will be even more so if the Lord is consciously invited in. | By Rt. Rev. Peter Martin Buss, Jr. , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Rest For Your Souls

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 15 Oct, 2023

    “Rest for Your Souls” (Matthew 11:29) Every one of us, deep down, wants peace and contentment, lives of meaning and purpose, and the stream of providence guiding us to all that is good. This Sunday we will look at a core way to receive all these things, to find “rest for our souls” by means of a life connected to the Lord. | By Rt. Rev. Peter Martin Buss, Jr. , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Spiritual Paralysis

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 8 Oct, 2023

    "Arise, Take Up Your Bed, and Walk" (Mark 2). The connection between paralysis and forgiveness is unmistakable in this healing miracle. Only after receiving the Lord’s forgiveness was the man released from his paralysis and yet the full healing couldn’t take effect until the man played his part by getting up and walking. We can experience a similar kind of “paralysis” - unable to make a decision, unable to “move on,” and it is at times like these that the Lord helps us get unstuck. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Spiritual Paralysis

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 8 Oct, 2023

    The Lord is constantly forgiving us any time we stray in mind or deed from His path, and yet we cannot be truly healed of our paralysis until we symbolically “get up” and “walk.” We will be considering the many things that “paralyze” us - old wounds, a critical judgmental spirit, impatient and angry thoughts, justifications, perfectionism - the list goes on. This healing miracle shows us a path forward, a way to get unstuck. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Be Pushy?

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 1 Oct, 2023

    "Give Me Also Pools of Water" (Judges 1:15) We often think of being “pushy” as a bad thing, but what if the Lord wants us to be pushy? While rudeness and aggression aren't good ways to love the neighbor, our relationship to the Lord includes a lot of seeking and asking, and this might feel pushy. The story of Achsah, Caleb, and Othniel in Judges shows us that when it comes to asking the Lord, He wants us to keep asking. | By Rev. Scott I. Frazier , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Give Me Also Pools of Water

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 1 Oct, 2023

    (Judges 1:15) This story shows us how to reclaim our lost faith and bring new meaning to our lives. We can often feel burnt out and empty, but by marshalling the resources we do have, the Lord can bring joy and life to us: first to our ideas, then to our behavior, and finally to how we cooperate with the Lord. Achsah, as an active and “pushy” woman, shows how this process should occur with us and the role we play in making it happen. | By Rev. Scott I. Frazier , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Jesus' Secret Visit to Jerusalem

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 10 Sep, 2023

    Although the Lord preached and performed miracles openly in Jerusalem, on one occasion He went there secretly, and no one knew He was there. Why did He do this? | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
