Peace! Be Still!
Worship Service: Informal Family - 14 Jul, 2024
When the disciples feared for their lives during a storm at sea, they felt like the Lord did not care about them - He was sleeping instead of helping them! But He calmed the storm, and they were safe. How can we allow the Lord to calm the storms in our lives? | By Rev. John L. Odhner , Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft
Anxiety
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 19 May, 2024
Anxiety is all around us in today’s world. It is in ourselves, our friends, our communities. Does this abundant anxiety exemplify a lack of faith in the Lord? Not necessarily. It is true that faith in the Lord can help overcome anxiety; and as we grow in faith we may find that anxiety lessens. But as long as we love what is good, we will feel fear when that good thing is put at risk. The real question is what will we do with the anxiety that we feel, and can we be motivated by it to make a more loving, safe, world? | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA
What is it?
Worship Service: Informal Family - 26 Feb, 2023
The whole of Exodus Chapter 16 contains a detailed description of how the Israelites were to handle the Manna - when to collect it, how much, not save it overnight, etc. The leading idea is that each person “gathered according to each one’s need” (v. 18). We will consider needs versus wants as they relate to trusting the Lord and His Providence. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Opportunities for Growth
Worship Service: Informal Family - 9 Jan, 2022

Strengthening Ourselves in the Lord
Worship Service: Informal Family - 13 Sep, 2020
The Word gives us examples of people facing hard times like David and his men arriving back at their town of Ziklag and finding it burned and their wives and children gone.

What To Do In Captivity
Worship Service: Informal Family - 29 Mar, 2020
At the end of 2nd Kings, the children of Israel and Judah were taken into captivity, away from the Promised Land. Jeremiah the prophet wrote a letter to them, comforting them, telling them the Lord would bring them back eventually, and giving them hope and advice about what to do during their captivity (see Jeremiah 29-31). This advice can be relevant for us during our current “captivity” as well.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 11 Nov, 2018

Freedom from Anxiety
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 22 Apr, 2018
Fear and anxiety are inevitable in life. Nor is that a bad thing. Fear of failure motivates us to succeed, anxiety brings our attention to problems that we need to overcome. But when we are crippled by these things, and our choices are limited by our fears, we cannot grow the way we would want. The Lord tells us what we can do then: seek first the kingdom of God. If we manage to get our priorities right, then our anxieties, although still present, will be longer control us. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA

Do Not Resist Evil, Part 3: Understanding and Responding to Fear
Worship Service: Sermon only - 23 Nov, 2014
What do you worry about? What are you scared of doing? How does fear or anxiety affect your behaviour and relationships?

But, as we’ve already talked about with doubt and guilt, just pushing feelings of fear away doesn’t work. This Sunday we’ll talk about what the Lord teaches us about how to respond to fear. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA
