Tune in as Fr Elijah Iskander explores the dangers of hypocrisy, the importance of self-examination, our appearance vs our repentance and much more!

Our wise and loving Mother the Church knows that this Thursday we commemorate the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord from earth. And She chooses for us a lovely reassuring passage from John 14 so that our hearts would not be troubled. Here is why.

Ekhristos Anesti! Alithos Anesti! Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen! Tune in as Fr Michael Tanious explores the papal message of Love and Joy behind the resurrection, what this means for us, and How we can ultimately grow with Christ!

What if some of the deepest spiritual truths are hidden in the stories we grew up watching?

In this sermon, Fr. Elijah explores how great stories awaken the human soul because humanity was made for a greater Story. Using Disney’s The Lion King as a framework, this talk examines themes of identity, exile, shame, false freedom, repentance, restoration, and resurrection through a Christian lens.

Why do stories of sacrifice, redemption, and homecoming move us so deeply?

Why does a 30-year-old cartoon still make grown adults emotional?

Because deep down, these stories echo the Gospel written into the human heart.

Through scenes from The Lion King, this talk connects:

* Simba’s exile with humanity’s fall

* Scar’s lies with temptation in Eden

* Hakuna Matata with modern escapism

* Rafiki’s voice with the prophetic call to repentance

* The return to Pride Rock with restoration and resurrection in Christ

This is not about forcing Christianity into movies.

It is about learning to see Christ everywhere because “He has put eternity in their hearts” (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

What does it actually mean to abide in Christ?

As the Holy 50 Days come to a close, this sermon calls us to take inventory of our spiritual lives and ask a serious question: Have we truly encountered the risen Christ, or have we simply gone through the motions?

Drawing from John 14–15, Fr. Elijah explores Christ’s invitation to become one with Him through the Eucharist, prayer, repentance, and a life of abiding communion. The Christian life is not about trying harder on our own strength. It is about union with Christ, receiving His life so that we may fulfill His commandments, bear fruit, and live the power of the resurrection.

Finding Christ in Unlikely Places is a journey into healing the sacred-secular divide. Too often we separate “church life” from “real life,” as though Christ is only present in sanctuaries, sermons, or explicitly religious moments. But the mystery of the Incarnation changes everything.

When God took flesh, He entered all of human existence.

This series explores what it means to develop “Incarnation eyes” — eyes that can behold Christ in music, films, literature, work, beauty, suffering, relationships, cities, silence, and even the hidden places of our own hearts. When we begin to see the world through Christ, the ordinary becomes holy, the fragmented begins to heal, and life becomes filled with meaning again.

Because Christ is not absent from the world.

He is hidden within it, waiting to be seen.

In this powerful Holy 50 Days sermon, Fr. Elijah reflects on Christ’s words in John 12:35–50: “I am the light of the world.”

As the world grows darker with fear, confusion, division, pain, and uncertainty, many people begin to lose hope that light is still breaking through. But Christ reminds us that darkness is never stronger than the Light.

This Feast of the Ascension, Father Anthony invites us to reflect on what it means to truly live as the Body of Christ, with Christ as our Head. This sermon challenges us to guard our thoughts and live each day in a way that reflects our true calling: a life that is always rising toward God.

Tune in to Fr Anthony as he discusses Tune in to Fr Anthony Messeh as he explores what it means to see people through the eyes of Jesus. This sermon challenges the Church to reflect God’s heart for the lost by becoming a place where the disconnected can encounter grace.

In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad reflects on the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman, highlighting the significance of worshiping with true knowledge. He explains how the Samaritans’ mixed faith contrasts with the Jewish faith that leads to Christianity, emphasizing the importance of knowing God through scripture.

Fr. Matthias outlines key truths Christians know about their origin, nature, God, purpose, and future. He contrasts this with the confusion in the modern world, where many worship without understanding or hold subjective beliefs. The sermon discusses baptism as a restoration to original divine nature and encourages living with purpose rooted in God's commandments.

Fr. Matthias calls believers to align their lives with the revealed truth and live with hope for eternal life instead of worldly pursuits. He reminds listeners that true worship requires knowing God’s nature and living accordingly.
