Helping Us to See Clearly
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 14 Jun, 2020
The Lord wants us to know that we make much better decisions when we can see ourselves and the choices before us in the light of heaven.

Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Seeing in the Light of Love and Wisdom
Worship Service: Sermon only - 14 Jun, 2020
Many people reading the Book of Revelation see within its pages a description of an angry and condemning God who inflicts terrible punishment on people who are doing evil things.

Eric H. Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

I Create Jerusalem a Rejoicing

Does It Do Anything?

Jonah the prophet was told by the Lord to go to Nineveh, to preach against their wickedness.

Seeing as the Lord Sees Us
Worship Service: Sermon only - 10 May, 2020
When we look at our motives and actions we can be very critical and be filled with shame.

What We Learn from the Ups and Downs of Life

Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Good Times and Bad: Both Summer and Winter are Part of the Lord's Plan
Worship Service: Sermon only - 3 May, 2020

Why is this variation part of the Lord's plan? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
