Do Not Resist Evil 2: Guilt Good and Bad
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 16 Nov, 2014
When we are attacked by feelings of doubt, guilt, fear, or worthlessness, we often try (and fail) to simply push those feelings away. But there is another way: instead of resisting these things, we can take what is valuable from them, and let the rest pass us by. This week, the second in a four-part series, we will focus specifically on how to do this with guilt. How can we learn to distinguish between “good guilt” and “bad guilt”, and how can “good guilt” lead to positive changes? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn , Westville, RSA

Worship Service: Children & Adult - 14 Sep, 2014
For the past two weeks we’ve been looking at different dynamics in relationships. What do you do if there’s a dynamic in one of your relationships that you don’t like? You’re stuck in a rut or a pattern of interaction that is unhealthy, harmful, or just frustrating for both of you; what can you do? This Sunday we’re going to look at what it takes to change the dynamic in a relationship. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA
Criticism
Worship Service: Sermon only - 14 Sep, 2014

Relationship Dynamics 2 - Boundaries and Freedom
Worship Service: Sermon only - 7 Sep, 2014
Every relationship involves unique people, each with their own thought and desires, and each with their own free will. It's one of the things that makes relationships challenging, and also one of the things that makes them powerful and beautiful. With that in mind, how can we work together toward common goals while still encouraging each other to act in freedom? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn , Westville, RSA
Relationship Dynamics 1 - Fighting
Worship Service: Sermon only - 31 Aug, 2014
Who are you fighting with at the moment? How does that fight affect the rest of your life? This Sunday we're starting a 3 week series on dynamics in relationships and we're beginning the series by talking about fighting. Being in conflict can cause us a lot of stress and pain and so we often do everything we can to avoid it. When we understand why we're fighting and what we're fighting for it can help us to fight the good fight when necessary. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA
The Blessings of Variety
Worship Service: Sermon only - 17 Aug, 2014

Idolatory 4: Other People's Idolatory
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 8 Jun, 2014
For the past few weeks we’ve been looking at idolatry in ourselves—how we can be tempted to worship idols of various kinds instead of Jesus Christ. This Sunday we’re going to dig into the difficult question of how to respond to other people’s idolatry. How should we treat people who worship other gods than us? And the even more challenging question, how should we treat people in our own church or family or community that have different beliefs and priorities than we do? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA

Good Things From a Harmony of Many
Worship Service: Sermon only - 11 May, 2014
Accomplishing something truly good and useful does not come from a single-minded focus on one true idea. The Lord calls us to see how our service to others is perfected as we look on our goals and means from the wisdom that sees more broadly. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Hope for Deliverance
Worship Service: Sermon only - 16 Feb, 2014

Rev. Peter Martin Buss, Jr. , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
The First Shall be Last, and the Last First
Doctrinal Class - 15 Jan, 2014
Many stories in the Word point out that there are often hidden advantages in what seem like disadvantages in life. Why is it that there are so many stories in the Word about smaller and weaker forces overcoming those that are larger and stronger? Why was the Lord born at a time when we are told that He was least likely to be accepted? These two classes are about how the hidden advantages of weakness are mirrored in amazing ways in our lives. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons , Bryn Athyn Cathedral Social Hall
