Sermon: Nothing Will Be Impossible

Last updated on: December 5, 2010 at 12:57 pm By Coleman Glenn

This is a family talk I gave on December 5, 2010, at the Olivet New Church in Toronto. Um, I realized afterwards that I forgot to say what happened with the man who prayed, “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief” – kind of an important part of the story. His son was healed. You can read it the story here, from Mark 9:14-29. Click here to download the mp3. Read more

The Importance of Context

Last updated on: September 16, 2010 at 1:52 pm By Coleman Glenn

Phew. It’s been a busy summer. Now that school has started up again and I’m starting to have a regular schedule, I plan to start blogging more again. I’ve been researching in the Writings for a sermon on humility. In my research I was reminded of a passage on humility that used to really bother me but that I’ve gradually come to love. It’s Arcana Coelestia n. 1594. It says, But mutual love, which alone is heavenly, consists in a... Read more

Sermon: Dwelling with the Lord

Last updated on: August 16, 2010 at 12:23 pm By Coleman Glenn

I delivered this sermon on August 15, 2010, at the Olivet New Church in Toronto. DWELLING WITH THE LORD A Sermon by Rev. Coleman S. Glenn 15 August 2010 Olivet New Church, Toronto Sometimes the Word is hard to read. In the books of Moses, we find histories that might seem irrelevant to our modern times. In the prophets, we see predictions of events that never seem to have come to pass. In Revelation, we are confronted with cryptic imagery... Read more

Another Critique of Calvinism

Last updated on: July 21, 2010 at 11:12 am By Coleman Glenn

There’s another fine critique of Calvinism, and especially the idea of double-predestination (God pre-ordains who will go to heaven and who will go to hell), over at Evangel blog. Read it here. This one’s by Adam Omelianchuk; a few months ago I linked to two similar posts on the same topic (here and here; my response here, and general thoughts on Calvinism here) by Anthony Sacramone. Again, it’s nice to be reminded that there are plenty of Christians who do... Read more

Sermon: Bringing the Ark to Jerusalem

Last updated on: July 20, 2010 at 2:33 pm By Coleman Glenn

I preached this sermon at the Carmel New Church in Kitchener, Ontario, on July 18, 2010. BRINGING THE ARK TO JERUSALEM A Sermon by Rev. Coleman S. Glenn This morning we read the story of David taking the ark to Jerusalem, and the sad story of Uzzah touching the ark. But the story actually begins long before our reading takes place, before David was king, before his predecessor Saul was king, when Samuel had just become the leader over Israel... Read more

“Love in Human Form”

Last updated on: July 12, 2010 at 2:53 pm By Coleman Glenn

From Arcana Coelestia n. 4735: The Lord’s Human, after it was glorified or made Divine, cannot be thought of as human, but as the Divine love in human form; and this so much the more than the angels, who, when they appear (as seen by me), appear as forms of love and charity under the human shape, and this from the Lord; for the Lord from Divine love made His Human Divine; just as man through heavenly love becomes an...
