The 10 Commandments are not the highest moral code for Christians. The Lord fulfilled the Law and inaugurated a new and higher standard. Join us as we continue our analysis of the Sermon on the Mount.

Fr. Evan Armatas joins us for a special show to discuss his book, Reclaiming the Great Commission. The command of Christ to "make disciples of all nations" is often neglected by Orthodox Christians but it is essential to the gospel, the very purpose of the Church.

We no longer observe the Jewish laws, so what did Christ mean when he said during the Sermon on the Mount that he did not come to abolish the Law? What about the Ten Commandments? Are those rules the moral standards for Christians? Join us as we continue to study Matthew 5.

As we continue our study of the Beatitudes, one of the most famous passages in the Bible, we hear "blessed are those who mourn," and "blessed are the meek." These and other Beatitudes seem illogical and impossible. Did Christ intend them literally? The Fathers will explain.

The greatest sermon ever preached, certainly the most famous, is the Sermon on the Mount. The wisdom of Jesus is astonishing, especially compared to the mentality of first-century Judaism. With Chrysostom as our guide, we will begin delving into the Beatitudes.

As we continue our discussion of the Temptation of Christ in Matthew chapter 4, we will look at what the Fathers of the Church tell us about Christ's temptation and why Christians should not only endure temptations but even welcome them.

Why was Christ tempted after baptism? What does his temptation teach us about our baptism, the devil and spiritual warfare? Fr. Costas will be joining us!

A Deeper Look at the Baptism of Christ: Important theology is revealed and heresies are refuted by this event. The Father's voice shows fulfillment of the most perplexing Old Testament events. Other mysteries are also revealed about the Holy Spirit and our own baptisms.

The Baptism of Christ raises so many questions. First, why is this feast called Epiphany and Theophany? Why is this event considered a "big deal" in Orthodoxy when it is barely even mentioned by other Christians? Since baptism is for the forgiveness of sin, and John's baptism was for repentance, why was Christ baptized at all? Join us for the first Search the Scriptures of 2023 as we discuss these and other important historical, biblical and theological questions.

"Brood of Vipers!" St. John the Forerunner addressed the Jewish leaders with those harsh words when they came to the Jordan River to see him. Jesus would condemn them in the same way. But why did their presence call for such a sharp rebuke? More about St. John, the corrupt leadership in Jerusalem and Jewish attitudes in the first century.
