Take Up Your Bed and Walk
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 19 Jan, 2025
Here we are at the start of another year, and you might be in the habit of making a few New Year’s resolutions of things that you would like to do better in the year ahead. Often when we do that, we notice that many times our resolutions are the same as the year before and realize that we failed to carry through on them. So how can we avoid staying stuck in the same unhealthy spiritual place? The answer may be simpler than you think! | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Becoming One Flesh
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 19 May, 2024
In the story of creation, it says that the Lord created male and female and then there is a beautiful phrase near the end the story where the Lord says that the man and his wife shall become one flesh. We will be looking at what it really means to become one flesh in the eyes of the Lord, and how by making males and females wonderfully unique and different, actually allows for the Lord to create a more perfect whole when they are joined together in marriage. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Becoming One Flesh
Worship Service: Sermon only - 19 May, 2024
“Becoming One Flesh” In the story of creation, it says that the Lord created male and female and then there is a beautiful phrase near the end of the story where the Lord says that the man and his wife shall become one flesh. We will be looking at what it really means to become one flesh in the eyes of the Lord, and how by making males and females wonderfully unique and different, actually allows for the Lord to create a more perfect whole when they are joined together in marriage. However, some people worry that if a husband and wife seek to become one, then they will inevitably lose their sense of individual identity. We will explore if this is really the case, and whether it is something to worry about! | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Developing a Strong Faith

In the gospels, the disciple Peter is a symbol for faith, so we will look at some of the lessons we can learn from Peter’s attitude and actions. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Worship Service: Sermon only - 4 Feb, 2024
The sermon will focus on how to develop a strong faith that is rock solid and can withstand the attacks from hell. In the gospels, the disciple Peter is a symbol for faith, so we will look at some of the lessons we can learn from Peter’s attitude and actions. It is interesting to see how insightful his faith is at times, and yet often his fake appears to be fickle and weak. There are many lessons to learn about how our faith progresses and develops over time. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Choosing Sides
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 12 Nov, 2023
Life seems to be full of complicated choices, and the world we live in can often seem so confusing. Yet, the Lord in His Word is continually urging us to make the right choice to follow Him. Why does this many times become so hard for us to do? Clearly this choice is wise, but why isn’t making this choice easy? | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Westville, RSA
The Woman at the Well

"The Devil's Pillow"
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 27 Aug, 2023
We are saying goodbye to the lazy days of summer and fun vacations, and we are about to begin the busy months of the school year. It is a great time to think about being useful and getting back to work. However, it is also a good time to reflect on the value of the rest and relaxation we just experienced, and contrast that with what the Heavenly Doctrine teaches us about idleness. Idleness is referred to there as “the Devil’s Pillow!” | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
"The Devil's Pillow"
Worship Service: Sermon only - 27 Aug, 2023
We are saying goodbye to the lazy days of summer and fun vacations, and we are about to begin the busy months of the school year. As adults, it is a great time to think about being useful and getting back to our jobs. However, it is also a good time to reflect on the value of the rest and relaxation we just experienced, and contrast that with what the Heavenly Doctrine teaches us about idleness. Idleness is referred to there as “the Devil’s Pillow!” We will take a look at why and how usefulness provides a valuable protection from the hells and can keep the devil at bay. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Seeing the Lord
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 16 Apr, 2023
One of the themes of the Easter story is people seeing the Lord, or not seeing the Lord. These stories can stimulate some interesting questions for us to think about: Have you ever seen the Lord? Do you think you would recognize the Lord if He was in this sanctuary? Can you picture Him in your mind? We will look at what positive things we can do to help us see the Lord so that we can learn to love Him and follow Him wherever He leads. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

I and My Father are One
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 4 Dec, 2022
At Christmas we love to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus who was born into this world! However, do we really know who this infant being was? Was He the Son of God or the Father? Was He the Son of Mary? Was He God Almighty? Was He Jehovah? Was He the Creator? Was He the Redeemer? We will take a look at who this little infant Saviour really was who came and dwelt among us here on earth. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Westville, RSA

Friendship
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 26 Jun, 2022
Friendship is one of the core experiences of being human. We all need, and hopefully have, friends. But how often do we think of our friendship with the Lord? It is an important part of our relationship with Him, and can also inform the many friendships we have with others. Our service this Sunday will be led by Lance Mansfield. Many thanks to Lance! | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Westville, RSA
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
