Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

Technology has become so pervasive that many people are now enslaved to their smartphones, constantly looking down into them! Fr. Thomas reminds us that, like the woman bent over with a spirit of infirmity, the Lord heals us so that we can look up to see the gift of life in Christ. (22nd Sunday after Pentecost)

On the Sunday of All Saints, the gospel reading reminds us of the narrow way of being a disciple of Christ. Fr Thomas powerfully contrasts the imperatives in Christ's teaching on discipleship with the contemporary rise of the "Dones," those who illogically proclaim themselves faithful to Christ but "done with church."

After Jesus taught the crowds about what faithfulness looks like in the Sermon on the Mount, they were amazed. Then a living example of great faith came to Jesus, and He was amazed! Fr Thomas unpacks the important story of the healing of the centurion's servant, and shows us a pattern of faithfulness to emulate.

In John 4, Jesus, the Master Teacher, shares the good news with the Samaritan Woman that He is the Savior of the World, and brings her to a life-changing faith. Fr Thomas shows us how this incredible story is the pattern for sharing our faith in Christ with anyone.

Fr. Tom discusses the unifying faith of Holy Orthodoxy

What is the most important question of all time? Fr. Gregory addresses that in today's episode.

Fr. Dn. Christopher gives the sermon on the eve of Nativity.

In the Gospel account, Christ healed the ten lepers by His word, but their healing was conditional upon their obedience. They had to respond for the healing to take effect.

Subdeacon Emmanuel gives the homily on Great and Holy Thursday.

Fr. Christopher is the preacher today and reminds us that it is more than an act of mercy; it is an act of love, to put someone else’s needs before your own.

Fr. Gregory says that Orthodox Christians, particularly in the West, should reacquaint themselves with what the Orthodox Church teaches about Christ and salvation. In few places is this more clearly and attractively presented than in the writings of early Greek theologian and martyr, St Irenaeus (130 – 202).

Fr. Gregory Hallam says the Feast of the Transfiguration is without doubt a turning point in the gospels.

Fr. Gregory begins with the children and then Fr. Emmanuel concludes with the sermon for Pascha.

Fr. Gregory begins with a lesson for the children followed by Fr. Emmanuel's sermon on the Gospel of St. Mark.

Fr. Gregory Hallam gives the sermon at the Vesperal Divine Liturgy for the Dormition of the Theotokos.

In this very important sermon, Fr. Gregory Hallam tells us that we do not believe in God to satisfy our ignorance about the world; in short to give us a nice and comforting alternative to science with its allegedly godless explanations and “theories.” If we are thinking like that then we do not truly believe in the God who is the source of ALL truth both religious and scientific, nor do we understand the world as it truly is.
