We should redirect the internal reasoning we have within ourselves towards God and involve Him in all things with faith.

He wants us to constantly reason with Him. "Come now, let us reason together"

The Living Word Bible Study goes through Chapter 3 of Galatians with Abouna Yacoub, focusing on St. Paul’s defense of the Gospel against those who taught that salvation required adherence to the Jewish law.

In this message during the Apostles Fast, we reflect on the Gospel story of the paralyzed man whose friends brought him before Christ. While everyone expected Jesus to heal the man’s body first, the Lord began with something deeper: “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

This sermon reminds us that Christ desires to heal the whole person, beginning with the sickness of the soul. Many of us cry out to God for physical healing, help, relief, and answered prayers, but the Lord first invites us to seek inner healing: healing from sin, insecurity, lack of love, judgment, bitterness, spiritual paralysis, and weakness of faith.

Through the faith of the paralyzed man’s friends, we learn that true faith is not passive. Faith is seen. Faith takes action. Faith climbs the roof, breaks through, and places itself before Christ. And when the soul is healed, the power of God is revealed in every part of our lives.

Tune in to Pt 4 of 'Sowing Seeds' with Fr Anthony as he reflects on the life of St. Anthony the Great and shows how true evangelism begins with personal obedience to God.

This Blessed Father’s Day, Fr Thomas reflects on the healing of the paralytic and the faith of the four men who led him to Jesus.

Drawing from Christ’s promise that whatever is asked in His name will be received, the sermon explains that praying “in His name” means becoming like Him, especially in humility and self-denial. Fr Yacoub explains that true discipleship is found in denying oneself, serving others, and bearing Christ’s likeness.

The Living Word Bible Study goes through Chapter 2 of Ephesians with Father Isaac, focusing on how humanity was once dead in sin but has been made alive through the free gift of salvation in Christ.
