The Living Word Bible Study goes through Chapter 3 of Ephesians with Father Isaac, focusing on St Paul’s teaching that the mystery of Christ has been revealed so that all people may have access to God through the Gospel. Father Isaac emphasizes suffering for Christ, the Church as one family in heaven and earth, bold prayer, and the transforming knowledge of God’s love.

The Living Word Bible Study goes through Chapter 5 of Galatians with Abouna David, focusing on Christian freedom through faith in Christ rather than reliance on the Mosaic Law. Abouna David explains that salvation comes through Christ alone, and that believers are called to walk in the Spirit, producing the fruit of the Spirit while rejecting the works of the flesh as they grow in a life of faith and love.

The Living Word Bible Study goes through Chapter 1 of Ephesians with Mark B, exploring how believers find their true identity in Christ and are blessed with every spiritual blessing for the purpose of holiness. The study emphasizes God's plan of salvation, the inheritance given to all who believe, the unity of the Church, and the call to live every aspect of life in Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit.

The Living Word Bible Study goes through Chapter 6 of Galatians with Maggie, focusing on how the law of Christ is fulfilled through love, humility, gentleness, and carrying one another’s burdens within the Christian community. Maggie emphasizes that believers are called to restore those who fall, persevere in doing good, sow to the Spirit, and find their identity as a new creation in Christ rather than in external religious observances.

The sermon reflects on the Feast of Pentecost, emphasizing that the presence of the Holy Spirit is experienced through participation in the life and unity of the Church. The message teaches that the Holy Spirit draws believers both outward in mission and inward into deeper communion, calling them to reject division and live in love, service, and unity as members of the one Body of Christ.

The sermon reflects on the healing of the paralytic in Luke 5, focusing on the four men whose faith moved them to bring their friend to Christ despite every obstacle. The message emphasizes that true service flows from faith, love, and a desire for salvation, calling believers to persevere in bringing themselves and others to Christ, whose power is present to heal and forgive sins.

The sermon reflects on the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming the believer’s life, drawing from Christ’s teaching on persistent prayer in Luke 11. The message explores the barriers that prevent spiritual growth—denial, deflection, and despair—and encourages believers to approach God with honest repentance, faith, and perseverance, trusting in His power to forgive and transform.

The sermon reflects on Christ’s teaching about prayer in Luke 11, emphasizing that prayer is both a lifelong school of spiritual growth and the means by which believers enter into deeper communion with God. The message encourages persistent, faithful prayer that seeks first the Kingdom of God, trusting in God’s providence and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit rather than treating prayer as a way to obtain earthly desires.

In this message from our series To the Ends of the Earth, we reflect on the life of St. Frumentius of Axum, the Apostle to Ethiopia, and how God used an unexpected interruption to bring the Gospel to an entire nation.

St. Frumentius began as a young man with his own plans, but through captivity, service, faithfulness, and the hidden work of God, he became the one through whom Christianity was established in Ethiopia. His story reminds us that God often works through the parts of our lives that feel confusing, painful, or interrupted.

During the Apostles Fast, we are reminded that the Book of Acts is still continuing. We are Acts 29. God is still sending His people into the world, not only through preaching, but through faithfulness, love, sacrifice, and the willingness to see every place as a mission field.

In this message from our series **To the Ends of the Earth**, we reflect on the life of **St. Verena**, a young Coptic woman from Upper Egypt whose holiness, love, prayer, and service helped bring the light of Christ to Switzerland.

St. Verena reminds us that mission does not always begin with preaching. Sometimes it begins with holiness. It begins with receiving Christ deeply, being formed by the Word of God, being discipled in the life of the Church, and then carrying Christ to the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the forgotten.

During the Apostles Fast, we are reminded that the Book of Acts is not over. The Holy Spirit is still working in the Church, and each of us is called to continue the mission of Christ in our homes, workplaces, communities, and world.
