  • Recognizing the Lord

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 1 Dec, 2024

    “Recognition” It is common for us to rejoice when we see someone we love after a long absence. We know their face, we have history with them, and we look to continue the relationship by building new memories. The Lord invites us to that same relationship with Him, inspiring us to recognize Him, welcome Him, and build a life together with Him that consists of blessings and preparation for heaven. | By Rt. Rev. Peter Martin Buss, Jr. , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Are You the One?

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 24 Nov, 2024

    “Are You the One?” John the Baptist tells us that regardless of our efforts we will always have times of doubt, and wonder why things didn’t go our way. The beautiful thing is, when we follow the Lord, things do go His way! (John 1:6-8, 19-36; Matthew 11:1-10; True Christianity 510:2). | By Rev. Grant R. Schnarr , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Love and Logic – The Request of a King.

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 17 Nov, 2024

    King Solomon asked for an “understanding heart” so that he might judge his people wisely. The parallel of this story is that we too must pray for a heart that understands because our heart (love), which is the driving force in everything we do, is often at odds with our understanding (logic) and the two can end up living separate lives. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Peace

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 10 Nov, 2024

    “Peace” The story of Gideon’s Fleece (Judges 6:35-40) tells us that the Lord prepares us for our spiritual trials by instilling a sense of peace and brings us through those trials by keeping us inwardly in peace (Secrets of Heaven 8455, 3696). | By Rev. John L. Odhner , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Prepared

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 3 Nov, 2024

    Have you ever felt well-prepared for something? It feels good to feel like we have the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual resources to handle a particular situation. Something comes up and we have what we need to respond appropriately. Great! Are you feeling prepared for the election next week and whatever happens after it? As we gather as a community to worship the Lord together (even as we will not all be voting for the same candidates), what would it look like for each of us to be better prepared by our Heavenly Father? The Lord can make a difference in our individual lives and in our community by preparing our hearts for these times of contention, stress, and fear for the future. Let’s talk about how. Choose a question or two to reflect on or discuss: 1. Describe a time when, because of the Lord and His teachings, you felt better prepared to respond to a difficult situation. 2. What would it look like for you to have more confidence in the Lord at this current time in the world? 3. What is an area where you feel least prepared? What might it look like to invite the Lord into that part of your life? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Music

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 27 Oct, 2024

    "Music" Music is fun, but it is so much more. It affects us deeply, lifting us up and warming our hearts. Come and learn how music can move us, how even the Lord sang hymns, and how you can be a better person by learning how to sing in a choir or church. | By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Music

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 27 Oct, 2024

    "Music" Music has been with us probably from the beginning of the human race, and in each of our lives from our mothers cooing or singing to us. It has the power to affect us, like when David played for Saul. It can take us out of ourselves and connect us with the angels. And as we sing to the Lord, He can bring us closer together in charity and mutual love. | By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The First of Charity

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 20 Oct, 2024

    "The First of Charity" When we think about love, often the first things we think of are actions that we DO in order to show someone that we care—hugs, listening, helping, etc. But how often do we think of all the things we don’t or shouldn’t do in order to love our neighbor? | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Minority Report

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 13 Oct, 2024

    “The Minority Report” Of the twelve men sent to spy the land of Canaan to determine the strength of its people, fortifications and resources, only two, Caleb and Joshua, came back with the news that they could conquer the land if they trusted the Lord. Caleb and Joshua’s report contained the truth, the blueprint for a happy life, and yet the people sided with the majority, the ten, who gave a “bad report” (Numbers 13:32) by invoking fear instead of trust. How do we learn to trust the “minority report” and why do we need to listen to the “Calebs” and “Joshuas” of the world? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Minority Report

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 13 Oct, 2024

    “The Minority Report” The hells want us to think we’re in the minority, that we’re alone in doing the right thing. It can certainly feel that way at times. Think of Caleb and Joshua, two of the twelve spies, who found themselves in the minority when they gave their report that the children of Israel could conquer the land of Canaan if they trusted the Lord and didn’t let fear consume them (Numbers 13-14). But we don’t see as the Lord sees. We’re not alone. All great things start with a few, with a minority. This Charter Day weekend marks the celebration of the Academy Charter. All it took was a few brave souls to cast a vision. What can we do to be like “Caleb” and “Joshua” and further the cause of the New Church? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • What Should We Do While We're Waiting?

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 6 Oct, 2024

    “What Should We Do While We’re Waiting?” We can spend a lot of our time waiting for things — small things like waiting for dinner or waiting for the weekend and big things like waiting to be an adult or waiting to find someone to marry. What should we do while we’re waiting? What does the Lord say? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • What Should We Do While We’re Waiting?

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 6 Oct, 2024

    “What Should We Do While We’re Waiting?” We can spend a lot of our time waiting for things — small things like waiting for dinner or waiting for the weekend and big things like waiting to find someone to marry or waiting to see our loved one who has died. What should we do while we’re waiting? What does the Lord say? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Narrow Way

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 29 Sep, 2024

    “The Narrow Way” Does the Lord’s parable in Matthew 7:13 mean that only a few people go to heaven? | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • A Blessing and a Curse

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 29 Sep, 2024

    “A Blessing and a Curse” We look for unity, not polarization, from our leaders. Yet the Word is full of stories about division as well as unity, and both play an important role in our regeneration. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Holy Supper and Redemption

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 22 Sep, 2024

    We read that “the whole of the Lord’s redemption is present in the Holy Supper” (True Christian Religion 717). Let’s talk about what this means, especially in the context of our normal lives. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Bless this Community

    Worship Service: Children & Adult - 15 Sep, 2024

    It’s been a humbling and gratifying experience for myself and the staff to brainstorm, plan and launch these Community Worship Services in the months we don’t have a festival service. However, in planning the topics for each service, I realized I’ve never spoken directly about the “community” part of these services. We are, of course, taught that heaven is made up of countless communities. Why is that? What is the purpose of these communities in heaven? Is Bryn Athyn built on this model? We’ll be looking at the story of Balaam being ordered by the king of Moab to curse the Israelites who instead blesses them. Do we ever “curse” that which “God has not cursed?” or denounce that which “the Lord has not denounced?” (Numbers 23:8). | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Parable of the Two Brothers

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 8 Sep, 2024

    The Lord told a parable about two brothers (Matthew 21:28-32). The first brother said he would not do as his father asked, but later he regretted it and did the work. The second agreed to work but didn’t actually do it. If we have said “no” to the Lord, we still have a chance to change our mind; and if we have said “yes,” we still have to follow through on our promises. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Good Intentions

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 8 Sep, 2024

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions… or so the saying goes. The Heavenly Doctrines say good intentions can take a person to heaven. But what does it mean to really intend something? To want to do it? To do it whenever the opportunity arises? We’ll explore the question through the lens of the Lord’s parable of two brothers whose deeds do not match their words (Matthew 21:28-32). | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • 6-1 Ratio

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 1 Sep, 2024

    The third commandment in the Decalogue encourages us to remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy, and, in preparation for that day of rest, to labor six days. But why not labor for five days and rest for two or, even better, labor for three days and rest for four? Isn’t this 6-1 ratio of work to rest a little over the top? People sometimes think of heaven (that is, happiness) as being “rest” or “leisure,” a reward, a free pass, from ever having to “work” again, but would this make us happy? Would this be heaven? It turns out the Lord knows what He’s talking about – His prescribed ratio of 6-1 is perfect. Come find out why those in heaven “are caught up in a love of their work” (HH 393) and why “a life with no activity has no happiness” (HH 403). | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
