We provide audiobooks of works by Emanuel Swedenborg, recordings of New Church sermons, Swedenborgian classes, and more. These offer opportunities for Bible study and spiritual growth, exploring Biblical symbolism and New Church theology.

New Church Audio is a program of The New Church, an international Christian organization.

The New Church is a Christian denomination based on the Bible and the revelation given to Emanuel Swedenborg. We believe that true faith is loving the Lord Jesus Christ by following his teachings and being of service to others.

  • Slow and Steady

    Worship Service: Informal Family - 6 Aug, 2023

    The Israelites really wanted to get into the Promised Land to establish their new home, but they needed some time in the wilderness to figure things out. Similarly, we may like the idea of sudden life change that fixes our problems, but that’s not generally the way life works. In what ways is time in the wilderness a necessary part of our journey toward spiritual life? (Apologies for the hum in the audio) | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

  • Is That You, Oh Troubler?

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 23 Jul, 2023

    We regularly have experiences of things and people that bother us. The story of Ahab helps us understand why these things bother us, and what we can do to get through. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Source of Our Problems... and Solutions

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 23 Jul, 2023

    We explore how the story of King Ahab can help us deal with our daily problems and the people we may see as “troublers.” | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • The Importance of Baptism

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 28 May, 2023

    This Sunday we have a very special service. One of the students in our school will be baptized. Baptism is SO important that even the Lord got baptized. Our teachings tell us that it is a sign and memorial. But what is so special about baptism? And why is it so important? Join us on Sunday to both celebrate the occasion and to learn a little bit more about this sacrament. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Luck and Coincidence

    Worship Service: Informal Family - 12 Mar, 2023

    We know from our Teachings that these phenomena are tools of the Lord’s Providence. When we read the stories of the Word, we can see that the Lord is intricately leading all of the events forward, ultimately leading to his birth into this world. This Sunday, join us as we take a bird’s eye view of the Bible narrative from beginning to end to see how the Lord is delicately and intentionally working in our lives at this very moment. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

  • He Came to Fulfill

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 1 Jan, 2023

    Having completed another circle around the Sun, we have the opportunity to look back on the previous year and also to look forward to the new one we are entering now. In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), the Lord invites us into a new way of understanding and loving with these words, “It has been said… but I say to you.” These words embody the spirit of the new year, in which we leave behind who we were and become more and more the image and likeness of our Creator. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Fullness of State

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 1 Jan, 2023

    Each new year that comes around completes a cycle of time. The passing of time can highlight a feeling that life is repetitious and that we haven’t gained any spiritual ground since the last cycle of time that came and went. However, the Lord is preparing us, slowly filling the empty places in our spirits until they are full. A completed cycle is symbolic of what our Teachings call a “fullness of state” – that moment in which we have been aptly prepared for our continued spiritual journeys, and that moment when, in humility, we are ready to let the Lord in. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Finding Meaning

    Worship Service: Informal Family - 31 Jul, 2022

    Finding a purpose in life is one thing: Get yourself a goal and pursue that goal. But finding meaning and feeling like what we do matters is a whole different matter. The rich man in Matthew wanted eternal life but felt he was lacking something. Join us this Sunday as we explore what the rich man was lacking, and how we can “find” meaning in EVERYTHING we do. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

  • Communicating Through Disagreement

    Worship Service: Informal Family - 12 Jul, 2020

    How are we supposed to communicate with people with whom we completely disagree, or with people who hate us or our loved ones? Is it best to allow them to talk, or to tell them they are wrong, or do we just unfriend them? Here, we look at some modern examples and how those line up with what the Lord tells us in His Word. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

  • You Aren't What You Eat

    Worship Service: Informal Family - 2 Jun, 2019

    The Lord taught that what goes into us does not make us spiritually unclean, but what comes out of us does. Does it matter what we consume for entertainment or who our children’s friends are then? This Sunday we will explore the impact our mental food and our environments could have on us. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

  • Rebuilding Our Temple

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 27 May, 2018

    "Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?" (Haggai 1:4) Lessons read by Rev JE Synnestvedt. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Robert L Bedford Memorial Address

    Memorial Service - 18 May, 2018

    December 9, 1935 to May 14, 2018 | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Seeing Signs

    Worship Service: Informal Family - 8 Apr, 2018

    Does the Lord still give us signs? Do some people get signs while others don’t? When the Lord commissioned the disciples, He said believers would see signs like speaking in tongues and healing the sick. Come find out how you, too, can start seeing signs from the Lord. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

  • Trusting the Lord with Our Weakness

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 4 Feb, 2018

    The Lord is able to help us most effectively when we recognize that we are underdogs in our fight against our evils. Closing Hymn replaced with hymn from the 11 am service because the former was copyright protected. Mr. Smith is a candidate at the General Church Theological School. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Break the Mold !

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 4 Feb, 2018

    "Temptations serves no purpose, and is productive of no good, unless the person, at least after the temptations, believes that the Lord has fought and conquered." (NJHD 200) Mr. Smith is a candidate at the General Church Theological School. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
