The Lord is not concerned with figs, but with us. We need to be ready in season & out of season, seasonal Christianity isn't Christianity at all!

Silence is not a punishment but a gift that allows us to encounter God, understand ourselves, and receive the work of the Holy Spirit more deeply.

Even imperfect prayer is received with joy by God, because the Holy Spirit completes what we cannot express and simply desires our presence with Him.

Be Still and know that I am God.

As we enter Holy Week, we reflect on the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ - not as weakness, but as the very means of our salvation. From His birth to the Cross, Christ willingly embraces suffering, transforming it from a consequence of sin into a path to glory. This sermon explores how we are called not to seek suffering, but to carry the Cross when it comes, uniting it with Christ and trusting that through it comes new life, transformation, and eternal joy.

Holy Week confronts us with a difficult question: can Christ’s saving work on the Cross fail in my life? This sermon explores how salvation is not rejected only by turning away from Christ, but also more subtly - by living a shallow, outward Christianity that avoids the narrow path. Through the warnings of Scripture, we are challenged to move beyond “churchianity” into true discipleship: denying ourselves, carrying the Cross, and building our lives on Christ.

On Palm Sunday, the crowds welcomed Christ as King—but what does it truly mean to receive Him in our lives? This sermon reflects on three powerful actions from the Gospel: laying down garments, cutting palm branches, and offering praise. Through surrender, repentance, and wholehearted worship, we are invited not just to celebrate Christ as King outwardly, but to let Him truly reign within us every day.

On Palm Sunday we are reminded of the Lord’s entry into Jerusalem. We are reminded of those that cried out to the Lord to save them. On this day, Fr Michael compels us to ask the question - what do I really want from my Lord? Am I prepared to follow, repent and be led by His strength this Holy Week?

Wednesday Eve is the night of parables. Christ uses parables to direct our attention toward watchfulness and attentiveness in anticipation for the judgement to come. Fr Isaac focuses on the parable of the five wise and five foolish virgins. While all appeared outwardly similar, the five wise virgins were prepared and able to answer the call of our Saviour.

John chapter 12 is read in the first hour of Monday Eve of the Holy Pascha. This passage is the contrast between the joy of Palm Sunday and the journey of Passion Week that is to follow. Join Fr Isaac as he highlights its significance on the coming passion of our Lord.

On Palm Sunday, the people cry out, ‘Hosanna! Save us!’ But what did the people want Jesus to save them from? What do we want Jesus to save us from? This Holy Week, Fr Andrew helps us align our expectations so that we may be saved from more than just worldly cares and oppression. May Christ become our personal Saviour throughout this journey.

Fr Michael asks an important questions as we embark on Holy Week - what makes a good Pascha? This week, we want to see Jesus, join Fr Michael on the journey toward Christ this Holy Week.
