We've heard how important it is for us to read the Word on a regular basis. But what does it actually do - for the angels and for us?

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

The Ancient Law of the Pledge

(Deut. 24:10-13) Just as the Lord doesn’t use His almighty force to squeeze a decision out of us, so must we avoid using undue pressure to force an opinion or decision out of those we know or love.

The Lord Rules the Universe with Ease
Worship Service: Sermon only - 6 Feb, 2022
The Lord doesn't have any trouble ruling the universe and does so "most easily" (SE 2234). As finite human beings, we tend to impose on God that which we consider to be difficult and hard.
