Taste and See That the Lord is Good
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 8 Jan, 2023
"How sweet are Your words to my taste" (Psalm 119:103) Before we swallow food, we go through two lines of defense: we smell it and then taste it to see if it’s good, if it’s worth eating. On a physical level, our nose and tongue rarely let us down but what about our spiritual sense of smell and taste? How do we distinguish between attitudes and habits that are “stinky” versus “sweet?” Can we figure this out on our own or do we need help? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Taste and See That the Lord is Good
Worship Service: Sermon only - 8 Jan, 2023
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8) Spiritually speaking, taste has to do with perception, with the ability to discern whether something is pleasant (good) or unpleasant (evil). We might think we can cultivate our own spiritual palate, but this gets tricky when our old and new “self” present contradictory ideas of what is “good” and “sweet.” Thankfully, the Lord can help. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
He Came to Fulfill
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 1 Jan, 2023
Having completed another circle around the Sun, we have the opportunity to look back on the previous year and also to look forward to the new one we are entering now. In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), the Lord invites us into a new way of understanding and loving with these words, “It has been said… but I say to you.” These words embody the spirit of the new year, in which we leave behind who we were and become more and more the image and likeness of our Creator. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Fullness of State
Worship Service: Sermon only - 1 Jan, 2023
Each new year that comes around completes a cycle of time. The passing of time can highlight a feeling that life is repetitious and that we haven’t gained any spiritual ground since the last cycle of time that came and went. However, the Lord is preparing us, slowly filling the empty places in our spirits until they are full. A completed cycle is symbolic of what our Teachings call a “fullness of state” – that moment in which we have been aptly prepared for our continued spiritual journeys, and that moment when, in humility, we are ready to let the Lord in. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Rescued by the Lord
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 4 Dec, 2022
Many of us are inspired by stories of someone being rescued. As we prepare for Christmas, we can remember it is the beginning of a story of the greatest rescue ever. The Lord rescued all of us from certain unhappiness through His life in this world. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
The Lord Came to Bring Us from Darkness to Light
Worship Service: Sermon only - 4 Dec, 2022
Wise people know that without help, their lives would not go well. The joy of Christmas is that it is a story of the Lord coming to give us help through all He did while in the world. He truly provided that each of us can go from times of darkness to the light of hope and confidence in His salvation. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Our Path to Heaven
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 27 Nov, 2022
Our path to heaven is called, in one place, a Way of Holiness (Isaiah 35:8). It’s about the Lord’s commandments, and about living the life that leads to heaven. Our focus on Sunday will be on why it is so helpful to us to walk in that way—the benefits to us now, as well as a future in heaven. | By Rt. Rev. Peter Martin Buss, Jr. , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Seeing Providence: Adulthood
Worship Service: Sermon only - 13 Nov, 2022
(Week 3) Moses was called to do a very important job. So are we.
