The Softening of Spring
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 15 May, 2022
In order for plants to grow in the spring, the ground needs to have softened and the ice needs to have melted into water. A similar process needs to happen in our spiritual lives. In 1 Samuel 26, the story of the hardened and resentful King Saul softening because of David's mercy can symbolize a springtime state for us as well. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

In Search of Beauty
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 8 May, 2022
"In search of beauty" Psalm 27:4. We live in a world of opposites, of stunning beauty and shocking ugliness. Unfortunately, the ugliness of evil has a way of blinding us to the beautiful things around us, but we can reverse this trend by modeling its opposite, by slowly, methodically, incorporating into our lives the inner calm and beauty of the Lord's truth and goodness. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
To Behold the Beauty of the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - 8 May, 2022
"To behold the beauty of the Lord" (Psalm 27:4). Beauty - what an incredible git. We see it reflected in all of the Lord's creation - in nature, in people, in literature, art, and science. Beauty is of a spiritual origin which is why we are affected by it so deeply. Standing in sharp contrast to the beauty we all desperately seek is the ugliness of war, violence, greed and hatred. What can we do to make our corner of the world a little gentler, kinder and beautiful? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Hope in the Lord's Mercy
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 24 Apr, 2022
Having just celebrated Palm Sunday and Easter, it is often a time when people experience a renewed sense of hope. It is important that we keep hope alive because it is essential to the human condition. Sometimes we can feel sad, scared, and overwhelmed, and we might begin to feel that things are hopeless. However, we need to remember to trust in the sure promised of the Lord! He can help us if we will only turn to Him, pray for His mercy, and then do the things that He asks of us. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Hope in the Lord's Mercy
Worship Service: Sermon only - 24 Apr, 2022
Have you ever lost hope? Hope is vital to the human condition, and it is tied very directly to the Lord's mercy and care for each one of us, so it is wise to maintain hope. The hells love for us to lose all hope and to think that we are beyond help, so it is important for us to remember to trust in the sure promise of the mercy of the Lord! But is mere hope in the Lord's mercy without action on our part enough to save us? Receiving mercy from the Lord requires some positive action on our part. Hoping in pure mercy apart from means in the long run will demoralize us, but hoping in the Lord's Word will continually rejuvenate us in our times of doubt. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Wilderness Training
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 20 Mar, 2022
When the Israelites learned they would have to fight their way into Canaan, fear gripped their hearts and they refused to enter it. As a consequence, they ended up "wandering" the wilderness for 40 years and yet this time wasn't pointless or wasted. They learned five important wilderness tasks along the way which filled their lives with purpose and meaning. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
The Wandering Years
Worship Service: Sermon only - 20 Mar, 2022
We typically think of the activity of "wandering" as being directionless or aimless and yet the Israeliste's 40-year period in the wilderness ended up being filled with purpose and meaning because the Lord was doing the leading. The Lord had a plan. This Biblical narrative helps put in perspective the apparent "randomness" of our own spiritual journey. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
