Fr. Apostolos shares about agape from St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians.

Fr. Apostolos shares about the ministry and mystery of motherhood.

Working from the Epistle reading in Colossians, Fr.

Holy Myrrhbearers - Third Sunday of Pascha

Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

Anyone can do a good deed, but Fr. Tom reminds us that truly godly works are motivated by a faith in Christ which leads to salvation. (Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost)

On the feast of the Annunciation to the Mother of God, we celebrate the good news that Jesus takes on human flesh from the womb of the Virgin Mary. In Mary's faithfulness, she becomes the icon of all believers who strive to live life in total obedience to God.

Orthodox Churches are often culturally rich and sometimes churches hold festivals to showcase their delicious ethnic foods. Fr Thomas reminds us that, while there is nothing wrong with ethnic foods or festivals, we should ensure that our emphasis is on the Faith and that our focus is on Christ. (Eighth Sunday after Pentecost)

The parable of the Lazarus and the Rich Man is a story rich with lessons about life and about death. Fr Thomas focuses on the implications of living with unprecedented wealth in our modern society.

The image of Christianity is being sullied by TV preachers who justify their desire for riches under the guise of a distorted piety. Hence, prayer, which allows us to ask God for good things, is instead cheapened to demand things which are self-serving. Fr Thomas teaches us the riches of prayer mined from the story of the healing of blind Bartimeaus.

The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers comes at an important point in the life of Christ, only days before his crucifixion. Jesus reveals the Scribes and Pharisees to be those who rejected the message of the prophets, and now they're going to kill God's Son. Fr Thomas reminds us that, in our own day, those who reject the message and the messengers by choosing the world's lies about God and humanity over the truth we receive in the Church commit the same grave error. (Matthew 21:33-44)

Deacon Luke Loboda teaches us that because we bear God's image, we must resist being slaves to our bodily desires, living like mere animals. Instead, we're called to fulfill the potential of holiness in us by the gift of the Holy Spirit.

On the Pre-Lenten Sunday of the Final Judgment, Fr Thomas speaks out against the false teachings of universalism, millenarianism, and the doubted return of Christ.

Fr Thomas reminds us that the encounter of Jesus with the Samaritan Woman was not about her condemnation, but her salvation. We can also embrace a change of life through encountering Christ. (John 4:5-42) Sunday of the Samaritan Woman, May 14, 2023

Fr. Gregory speaks about St. Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch.

We all know about the Three Wise Men who came to worship Christ in the cave, but today we celebrate other Three Wise Men: St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian and St. John Chrysostom.

There is one key issue that we now face in the post-Christian West. In so far as many people believe that there is a God they take the divine to be a simple, abstract, impersonal force

Subdeacon Immanuel speaks about the new fresco Icon of the Theotokos of the Sign written by Efrem Carrasco on the wall behind the altar at St Aidan’s Antiochian Orthodox Church in Levenshulme, Manchester.

The normal experience of being a Christian is both joy and struggle. There is a deep joy in knowing Christ but also a struggle against demonically inspired forces of violence and rebellion, inside us and outside us.

The Theotokos stands for the whole biblical way of looking at the relationship between God and His creation as a mystery of LOVE.

The entry to Jerusalem was a liturgical act; it was the entry into the great holy city of Israel by her rightful King and welcomed by the people as the fulfilling of national hope. Yet it is also proved to be a great disappointment.

Fr. Gregory's homily on the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos.

Why is it vital to confess Mary as Theotokos, God-bearer such that one cannot truly be a Christian and deny that?

Let us take hope that, acquainted as we are with our sin and weakness, God can make a wonderful work of glory from the raw material of our brokenness.

Fr. Christopher talks about the three major characters in the story of the prodigal son.

Fr. Gregory encourages us to embrace not a semi-detached life with all its fatal compromises but a fully detached life with God as our only hope, security and strength.

The Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles at Pentecost as a roaring wind and in tongues of fire from Heaven. The river of fire for them meant no danger at all but rather a personal powerful presence of God in their hearts and lives, the promised Holy Spirit.

Fr. Emmanuel Kahn suggests that as we think about the Dormition of the Theotokos, we need time to understand how the life and death of the Mother of God relates to each of us.

Fr. Gregory gives the sermon on the Nativity of the Theotokos as we celebrate this first great feast of the new Church year.

Fr. Dn. Emmanuel Kahn gives the sermon on Great and Holy Saturday.

In this, the time of salvation, God does not hold our sins against us—if we come to him for forgiveness and cooperate with Him in turning our life around.
