Saul’s Intentions
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 31 Aug, 2025
Is it OK to sort of or even mostly follow the Lord’s Commandments? Something is better than nothing, right? When King Saul was commanded to destroy the Amalekites, he mostly did what the Lord said. This Sunday we’ll find out how that went for him, and what it means for our intentions. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Pure in Heart Shall See God
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 24 Aug, 2025
At the very beginning of Jesus’ most famous sermon – the Sermon on the Mount – He begins by calling out groups of people and offering them blessings. To one group He says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). This may seem strange, after all what does the quality of our heart have to do with our ability to see? In this message, though, there is a powerful message about how we receive and develop our faith. | By Steven Gunther , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Perfectionism
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 17 Aug, 2025
Life would have little meaning or purpose if we didn’t set goals for ourselves and if we didn’t push ourselves to put in our best effort. But striving to be perfect is very different from being perfect. We often confuse the two. The first is part of the Lord’s plan, the second is a lie perpetuated by the hells which causes tremendous damage because we end up demanding perfection of ourselves and others. In the story of the Rich Young Ruler, the Lord addresses the question of perfectionism and provides an answer that is truly freeing (Matthew 19:16-22). | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral
