Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the meaning of the glory of God through the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, highlighting its biblical foundations and spiritual significance. He discusses the role of Simeon the Elder and the prophecy revealing Christ as the light for the Gentiles and the glory of Israel. Fr. Matthias examines how God's glory is shown in scripture through creation, miracles like healing the man born blind, and the deliverance of Israel from Egypt.

He emphasizes that God's glory is not for self-exaltation but so that people may believe and receive salvation. Fr. Matthias encourages believers to reflect on how their lives can glorify God through obedience, faith, compassion, and perseverance in suffering, citing the example of the Coptic martyrs. He also addresses the importance of forgiveness and prayer in manifesting God's glory and calls Christians to live in a way that draws others to glorify God through their witness and good works.

In this pastoral message, Fr. Elijah prepares the church for the beginning of the Holy Great Lent, reminding us that Lent is not a season of deprivation, but a season of healing and transformation.

He lays out the spiritual foundation of a true Lenten life: prayer, fasting, repentance, charity, and guarding the senses. The focus of Lent is not simply changing food habits, but deepening union with Christ through consistent spiritual discipline and inner renewal.

This sermon offers practical guidance for living Lent intentionally: increasing prayer, fasting from distractions, returning to confession, practicing mercy, and allowing Christ to transform the heart.

In this sermon, Fr. Paul reflects on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple, revealing its deep salvific meaning in the Orthodox life. Christ enters the temple not only to fulfill the Law, but to present our humanity before the Father, sanctify us, and transform us into living temples of God.

Through the examples of St. Mary and Joseph, St. Simeon, and Anna the Prophetess, we see the full rhythm of Orthodox spiritual life:

offering, longing, fasting, prayer, and true encounter with Christ.

As the Great Lent approaches, this message becomes a call to renewed spiritual hunger, authentic worship, and living daily as sanctified temples carrying Christ into the world.

The Feast of the presentation of our Lord to the Temple

In this sermon, Fr. Mark reflects on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple, revealing its deep theological meaning for humanity and the Church. This feast is not simply a historical event, but the first entrance of our human nature into the presence of the Father through Christ.

Fr. Mark explains how every act of Christ was done for us and for our salvation, opening the temple to all humanity, healing our obedience, and restoring our access to God. Through the lens of Scripture and the Church Fathers, he shows how this feast prepares us for Great Lent by calling us to submission to God, renewal, and Eucharistic encounter.

The message culminates in a powerful reminder that the Eucharist is not symbolic alone but a real participation in Christ’s offering, where we are presented before the Father in Him.

In this sermon, Fr. Paul challenges us to move beyond empty fasting and embrace a fast that transforms the mind, loosens spiritual burdens, and renews our love for God and neighbour. Through Lent, we are invited to repurpose our lives, resist the pull of consumption, and rediscover the grace that comes from living in true fellowship with God.

If A=B and B=C then A=C. And if A wants to serve B & B says "if you serve C then you serve Me", then A will serve C. If you want to increase God and decrease yourself and HE said when you do it to the least one of these My brethren you do it unto Me, then logic tells us that I need to INCREASE THEM! Here is how to increase them.
