The Presence of the Lord
Worship Service: Informal Family - 4 Apr, 2021
After the Lord rose from the tomb, He was present with His disciples -- and with all of us -- in a new and different way. Was He more present, or less present? Because of this pandemic, we’ve often been unable to be physically present with our loved ones. But, what can the Easter story teach us about the power of spiritual presence? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

From Disbelief to Joy
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 4 Apr, 2021
Easter is an opportunity to reflect on the Lord’s life, death, and resurrection. But what if you’re not sure what you believe about all of that? Or what if you believe that it happened but it doesn’t feel particularly relevant to your life? In either case, you’re in good company. On Easter morning the disciples did not immediately believe that the Lord had risen from the dead. It took them a while and a number of experiences to get to the point where they believed that it was true. On Sunday we’ll look at some of the stories after the Lord’s resurrection from the Gospel of Luke and what we can learn from them about the process of growing in our belief in the Lord. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA

Clothes on the Road
Worship Service: Informal Family - 28 Mar, 2021
Why did people put their clothes on the donkey and on the road to prepare for the Lord’s triumphal entry? In what way can we also put our “clothes on the road” to make way for the Lord in our life? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
Palm Sunday: The Lord Coming to Help
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 28 Mar, 2021
The people of Jerusalem rejoiced as Jesus rode into the city on Palm Sunday. But they didn't know what kind of a leader He intended to be. Can we accept the Lord as a God who comes to help us? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
The Coming Kingdom
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 28 Mar, 2021
When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey the onlookers took it to be an ancient symbol of kingship. And indeed, it was. Yet their expectations of that coming kingdom were far removed from the kingdom that Jesus sought to establish. Jesus knew that the people expected an immediate overthrow of oppression and the onset of an earthly kingdom with Jesus as their benevolent ruler. The kingdom Jesus actually established was one of hard work and repentance, in other words, a spiritual kingdom. This Sunday we will look at how our own expectations are contrary to what the Lord actually intends for us. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA
Preparing for Easter - the Road to Jerusalem
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 14 Feb, 2021
Easter is still pretty far away (7 weeks, more or less). But the time from Ash Wednesday (17 February this year) until Easter Sunday is generally seen as a time of preparation for the holiday. You may remember that last year we suggested giving up a bad habit or picking up a new spiritual practice in this time period. This year we'll suggest similar ways to prepare. Specifically, this Sunday we'll look at how Jesus' steady ascent from the backwater of Galilee along the road up to the metropolis of Jerusalem and His own death can help us prepare for our own celebration of His resurrection at Easter. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA
Uplifting - The Ascension
Worship Service: Informal Family - 26 Apr, 2020
The last part of the Easter story is “The Ascension;” the time when the Lord was lifted up into heaven. What does this story symbolize in our own lives? And how can we be “lifted up” into states of heaven as well? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Rising from the Tomb
Worship Service: Informal Family - 12 Apr, 2020
For the disciples, the Easter story took place during a time of fear and sadness. Many of them had lost hope. But Easter morning represents renewed hope, and the truth that the Lord doesn’t let anything happen that He can’t bring goodness out of. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
Why the Lord Appeared First to Mary Magdalene
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 12 Apr, 2020
This Easter Sunday we are going to be focussing on the women at the tomb. Mary Magdalene, Mary (who had given birth to Jesus), and some other women were the first people at the tomb on Easter morning. And Mary Magdalene was the first person to see the Lord in His resurrection. Why was this and what can we learn from this about what in us will be most able to see and believe in the risen Lord? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA

Rejoicing in Hope
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 5 Apr, 2020
When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday the crowds greeted Him with joy. Yet at that point, nothing had changed: after merely looking around, Jesus left the city again to spend the night on the Mount of Olives. The joy and hope of the crowds was only realized after the events of Jesus' capture, trial, torture, death, and resurrection. Even so, the joy of Palm Sunday is an important part of the Easter Story. Many of us, I am sure, are feeling that we have little to rejoice in at the moment: we have a long struggle ahead of us. But even if we cannot rejoice in the conclusion of this process yet, perhaps we can rejoice in the hope that the Lord will lead us to victory. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA
The Lord as Our King
Worship Service: Informal Family - 5 Apr, 2020
On Palm Sunday we celebrate the Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem as a King. In times of crisis it’s comforting to know that Someone is in charge. But how exactly is the Lord a King in times like this? And how do we turn to Him as our King? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
