Maintenance
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 23 Mar, 2025
Things seem to fall apart and get broken rather easily—from our aging bodies, to the buildings we live in, to the equipment we rely on each day, to our lives in general and the world at large. Just think of your current to-do list of things you need to fix, replace, clean, or sort out. What are we meant to do in the midst of this reality? Give up on fixing anything? The Lord tells us to lay up treasures in heaven, because treasures on earth are susceptible to moth, rust, and thieves (Matthew 6:19, 20), but a big part of trying to serve heavenly goals is at least attempting to do useful things for other people in this natural world, even though things fall apart. Let’s talk on Sunday about how the Lord maintains us and how we can be part of maintaining what is good with the Lord’s help. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Safe from the Storm
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 16 Mar, 2025
The Lord says that those who hear his Word and live by it are like those who build their house on a rock, where no storm can hurt them. Those who don’t are carried away into all sorts of trouble. Everyone experiences spiritual storms, times of temptation and uncertainty. Rely on the Lord’s Word, and not only will you survive hard times, but in the long run, you will thrive. | By Rev. Grant R. Schnarr , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Demon-Possessed Man Healed
Worship Service: Sermon only - 16 Mar, 2025
The story in Mark 5, about the demon-possessed man healed by the Lord is also a spiritual story, about every person being spiritually healed, freed from obsessive thoughts and addiction to evil.

Grant R. Schnarr , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Word on Fire
Worship Service: Sermon only - 9 Mar, 2025
John names the Word with a fascinating Greek term “Logos.” That word, according to the ancient Greek, means the underlying force that orders and organizes all things. John also calls the “Logos” God.
