When Jesus shares the parable of the man who invited his friends to a banquet and they all made excuses as to why they couldn't come, the Lord put's these words in the man's mouth: "None of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet." When God invites you to be at His Banquet, will you make an excuse?

Fr. Barnabas welcomes His Grace Bishop David of the OCA Diocese of Sitka and Alaska to discuss the Orthodox view of the second coming of Christ. What do the Orthodox believe?

When Jesus heals a woman on the Sabbath Day, His act of love and mercy reveals the deep spiritual poverty of others whose hearts are gripped by mere rule keeping. This revelation is an invitation to you and me to examine our own attitudes towards our faith!

Father's homily today deals with the invitation to "Come and See." This is a dynamic and involved participation in the living out of the Faith. This is a purposeful Orthodoxy that demands not mere observance but actual practice of our faith. Tow men answer two different questions with "Come and See" and today we are invited to find out why!

The only place in the Bible where God Himself calls a man a fool! And it was because this man was so blinded by his possessions, he thought nothing of his mortality! How foolish! Are you living a foolish life?

Matthew was a hated tax collector for the occupying Roman Empire. His encounter with Jesus Christ changed him forever. It is this life changing encounter that invites us today to further renew the spirit of our minds about just what is this Christian life anyway!

Fr. Barnabas welcomes Bill Marianes, Orthodox attorney and stewardship consultant to talk about the stewardship of our personal resources. Bill founded the Stewardship Calling ministry.

Both sickness and even death is made well by faith. But this message isn't about any physical sickness or even physical death but the spiritual sickness and death that grips us and enslaves us to a life of self-centered choices. Being free from that sickness and death is the only path that leads to authentic human life! It's the only path to a renewed mind!

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus confronts us today about a real change in the way we think. Only the courageous will comply!

Fr. Barnabas is joined by Fr. James and Kh. Linda Ellison who have experienced personal grief beyond most. How do we grieve and maintain our Christian hope and how can we help those who are grieving?
