In this sermon, Fr. Seraphim explores the paradox of why the cross, a symbol of ultimate love and renewal, faces global resistance and is "spoken against" as prophesied by Simeon the Elder. He explains that the cross acts as a stumbling block to human logic, reversing worldly perceptions by revealing power through weakness and life through death. Furthermore, the cross confronts humanity with the uncomfortable reality of sin, stripping away the illusion of self-justification by emphasizing that salvation is an unearned gift. Ultimately, the source asserts that the cross is rejected because it declares the divine authority of Christ over the forces of evil, prompting the devil and his followers to actively oppose its message of triumph and redemption

Mina Hanna prepares us with the art of prayer and how we can utilise prayer in Lent

In this sermon, John Messih reflects on Christ’s command to lay up treasures in heaven and not worry about earthly needs. Through the lens of the Lenten fast, he challenges us to examine what we truly value and where our hearts are invested. The call is to fix our eyes on what is eternal and invest in God’s Kingdom.

Tune in as Marianne explores Moses' life story and the qualities that he possessed which made him so pleasing in the eyes of the Lord; in hope that we may strive to attain the same qualities.

Using the examples of several Biblical Characters, join Fr Elijah as he outlines how Christ calls us to notice those on the periphery, and serve their deeper needs!

In this powerful and practical sermon, Fr David unpacks a simple but life-changing question: What is actually mine to control?

Through the example of John the Baptist, we see what healthy spiritual maturity looks like: taking responsibility for what God has given us, and letting go of what isn’t ours to carry. “He must increase, but I must decrease” John 3:30.

This sermon for the first Sunday of Lent, also known as Treasures Sunday, serves as a spiritual maintenance check to prepare believers for the journey of the Great Fast. Fr. Seraphim uses Christ’s warning against earthly treasures to outline three progressive stages of spiritual deterioration: the moth, which represents internal rot caused by hidden sins and bad influences; the rust, which symbolizes outward pride and behavioral decay; and the thief, representing demons who strip a person of any remaining virtues. To prevent this total bankruptcy, Fr. Seraphim urges followers to identify and block spiritual cracks, maintain constant vigilance through repentance, and embrace humility as a safeguard against destruction. By auditing one's heart at the start of the season, the faithful can ensure they are building their lives on a solid foundation rather than hollowed-out wood or corroded metal.

In this opening message of our Lenten series, we confront one of the most dangerous distortions many of us carry: the belief in a God of impossible expectations. A God who is never satisfied. A God who keeps moving the ladder higher. A God who evaluates instead of embraces.

What if the anxiety, guilt, and exhaustion we feel are real… but the image driving them is wrong?

This sermon explores how distorted images of God shape our parenting, marriages, friendships, and even our church culture. And it invites us to move from climbing to abiding. From performance to belovedness. From fear to communion.

This Treasure Sunday, Fr. Antony Andrews invites us into the heart of Lent as a season of searching for true treasure. What is the “treasure in earthen vessels” (2 Corinthians 4:7), and why does the Gospel connect treasure with the eye, the heart, and anxiety?

Through the life of St. Antony, a vivid terrarium illustration, and a powerful connection to manna in the wilderness, this message reframes wealth, security, and worry, and calls us to a Lenten pursuit of the treasure that cannot be stolen, corrupted, or lost: a heart anchored in God.

Tune in as Fr. Arsenius speaks about the raising of Lazarus and how Christ can lift us from spiritual sickness and death, for He alone is the Resurrection and the Life.
