Sunday of the Blind Man - Sixth Sunday of Pascha

Christ was obedient to His Father in all things. Fr Tom teaches us that God blesses those who are obedient to His commands and the result of loving obedience to God is the growth of the Church. (Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost)

As the popular holiday of Thanksgiving in the USA approaches, we gather around our tables to focus on being thankful to God for the many blessings He has given us. Fr Tom reminds us that the only thing we will take with us when we die is our virtue, not our 'stuff.'

Throughout the scriptures the imagery of the supper is used to depict the hospitality of God toward us. Fr Tom reminds us to respond well to the invitation to be united to Christ. (Twenty-ninth Sunday after Pentecost. Sermon given in Florida.)

As we begin preparing our hearts for the annual Lenten journey, the Church presents us with the parable of the Publican and the Pharisee. Fr Tom reminds us that fulfilling God's commandments should not be a cause for pride, because humility teaches us that we are only doing our duty to Him as unprofitable servants.

Bishops and priests are most accountable before God for the state of the church. But Fr Thomas reminds us that all of us share responsibility for our church communities and gives practical advice on how to remain faithful and focused.

In the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man, Jesus dramatically demonstrates the reward for greed and selfishness. Fr Thomas reminds us that helping the poor is not only a matter of money, it's a matter of love. (Luke 16:19-31)

The parable of the Publican and the Pharisee is the first of several pre-Lenten Sunday gospel readings to prepare our hearts for Great Lent. Fr Thomas reminds us that humility is the chief virtue because God Himself, the creator of all things, is humble. (Luke 18:10-14)

The most endearing secular holiday in the American calendar is Thanksgiving Day. It was set aside by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 "as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father." Later, the modern culture invented Black Friday, driving consumers to the stores in a buying frenzy. Fr Thomas reminds us that "covetousness is idolatry" (Col 3:5), that everything we have belongs to God, and should be used for His glory.

In the story of the healing of the Blind Man, the willfully blind refuse to believe the truth about Jesus even when confronted with irrefutable proof. Fr Thomas reminds us that we must carefully consider all the teachings and deeds of Jesus so that we can be witnesses to the Son of God.

The dramatic story of Peter attempting to walk on the water to come to Jesus is a reminder that God is with us in our problems even if we can't see Him. Fr Thomas teaches us that we're not called to a life without problems, we're called to be faithful through them.

As we read the story of blind Bartimaeus, Fr. Tom reminds us that when we know who Jesus truly is, and ask His mercy, He will heal us.

Fr. Alexander Rentel, Chancellor of the Orthodox Church in America brings us a preparatory message in anticipation of Great Lent: observe the religious practice of the Church like the pharisee, but beg our Lord for the humble heart of the publican.

Fr. Gregory gives a sermon on the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee.

In this final sermon on the Beatitudes, Fr. Gregory says that persecution can be an occasion of great blessedness.

Fr. Dn. Christopher speaks on the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.

The Orthodox Church has always regarded the saints of the Old Testament as saints as much as any born after Christ.

Christianity has had its share of sects. Fr. Gregory examines how these sectarian doctrines have made an impact on Western Christian culture.

Great martyr Demetrius, that good soldier in the fight against invisible enemies, warns us in the words of St Paul that we should be vigilant, man up and don the armour of God. If his blood prevailed in Christ so shall ours.

The appointment of Deacons in the church is the subject of today's sermon by Deacon Emmanuel Kahn.

The feast of the Entry of the Mother of God affirms the vital importance of the Panagia’s time of preparation as a young girl in the Temple at Jerusalem prior to her momentous assent to the message of Archangel Gabriel that she would conceive a child by the Holy Spirit in her womb who was to be named Jesus

On the Sunday of the Blind Man, Fr. Gregory points out that Jesus is referring not to the blind man who now sees but rather addresses the hostile questioning of the Pharisees who see physically but not spiritually.

Fr. Emmanuel Kahn gives the sermon on the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos.

Lesson from the Good Samaritan by Fr. Emmanuel Kahn.
