Fr. Makary Boutros reflects on the Gospel of John 14:1-12, emphasizing that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. He explains how Jesus prepares a place for believers, offers peace amid anxiety, and grants freedom through faith. Fr. Makary highlights the importance of making God a priority in love, obedience, and seeking His kingdom while warning against deceptive paths that lead away from truth. He discusses the narrow but certain path to salvation, the role of prayer and spiritual guidance in discerning the true way, and the significance of the Church as the pillar of truth. The life granted by Christ includes physical, spiritual, moral, and eternal dimensions. Fr. Makary concludes by urging viewers to abide in Christ, walk in His way, and restore life continually through repentance and communion. #JesusTheWay #ChristianFaith #GospelReflection #SpiritualGuidance #FaithAndTruth #EternalLife #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org

Spurgeon's gospel logic is uncomplicated, in principle and in practice, and it shows here. Our Lord says, "If you love me, keep my commandments." It is clear from this sermon that the straightforwardness of this statement was as objectionable then as now, and caused as many problems. Beginning with a stimulating survey of all the 'ifs' in the chapter, the preacher then settles on this simple statement as a very serious 'if', having to do with the very question of love in the heart of a man, the presence or absence of faith's affectionate attachment to Christ as Lord and Saviour. Spurgeon next makes clear that the test of love is judiciously chosen: obedience as a demonstration of love cuts through so much fluff and stuff, and gets to the core of things. Spurgeon explains the wisdom of this test, and why it is such an appropriate and clear indication of whether or not there is love to the Lord in the heart. Running out of time, he gives us just a couple of lines to assure us that love will endure this test, before closing with a brief series of potent applications, exhorting the saints to discover and hold to the commandments of Christ as they come to bear upon us, and challenging unbelievers to face the fearful consequences of declaring that they do not have any love to Jesus Christ, the Saviour of sinners.
This week we conclude our Lent sermon series, "Deny Yourself: The cost of following Jesus," with our Easter message. In this series, we've been looking at what it means to say "No" to the disordered desires in our lives so we can say "Yes" to the transforming work God wants to do in our lives. In this sermon we're looking at the offer of life in the gospel; the reason we deny ourselves is to be able to receive Jesus' life ourselves.Scripture: Romans 6:1-14, Luke 24:1-12

Sermon on the MountToshi JamangFebruary 15th, 2025
Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the meaning behind Christ's declaration, "I am the bread of life," highlighting its significance beyond physical sustenance. He explains the distinction between the bread that satisfies the flesh and the spiritual bread that nourishes the soul, emphasizing the ongoing struggle between the spirit and the flesh. Fr. Matthias discusses the characteristics of this spiritual battle, including how feeding one weakens the other, the different types of “food” they require, and the contrast between the fleeting highs of the flesh and the gradual growth of the spirit. He also examines urgency versus importance, noting that spiritual growth demands discipline and patience, unlike the immediate gratification sought by the flesh. This sermon invites reflection on spiritual discipline amid everyday challenges and encourages perseverance in nurturing the spirit to attain lasting communion with God.

Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the theme of living a renewed Christian life, emphasizing that spiritual renewal is an ongoing process empowered by the Holy Spirit, not a one-time event. He reflects on the responses to Christ and John the Baptist, highlighting the importance of embracing both joy and asceticism in the Christian journey. Fr. Matthias identifies six reasons why believers might experience spiritual stagnation: expecting different outcomes from the same practices, incomplete or inconsistent effort, low expectations of spiritual growth, obeying the letter but not the spirit of God's commands, acquiring knowledge without practical application, and holding onto beloved sins. He stresses the need to draw close to God, employ all spiritual tools such as prayer, fasting, and confession, and live consistently in faith. This message challenges Christians to examine their spiritual lives, overcome obstacles to renewal, and cultivate a vision of heaven that fuels continual growth and joy in Christ.

What does it really mean to live the blessed life?In this message, Dr. Trent Langhofer kicks off Trace Church's Sermon on the Mount series by unpacking Jesus' radical definition of blessing from Matthew 5. Contrary to culture's version of happiness, Jesus invites us into a life of deep flourishing that is rooted in surrender, formation, and alignment with God.Walking through the Beatitudes one by one, this sermon explores how the blessed life is not built on comfort, success, or circumstance, but on humility, dependence, mercy, purity, peacemaking, endurance, and faithfulness to God even in hardship.If you are searching for meaning, wrestling with pain, navigating doubt, or longing for a life that truly lasts, this message reframes what blessing looks like through the life and teachings of Jesus.This sermon was preached at Trace Church in Colorado Springs.Scripture focus: Matthew 5:1–12Series: Sermon on the MountMessage title: The Blessed LifeSpeaker: Dr. Trent Langhofer, Teaching PastorIf this message encouraged you, consider subscribing for more sermons, sermon clips, and teachings from Trace Church.

Have you ever wondered what God's will for your life was? So often we think about trying to make sure we do what God wants when it comes to big decisions in our lives. Paul's encouragement to the Thessalonians is not to be so concerned about that, but to submit your entire life to God in order to be sanctified by Him. God's will as defined by Paul is for us to be sanctified.
Pastor Seth S. Kim spoke on 2 Chronicles 20:1-23 during Part 3 of the Unlocking Life sermon series, where we learned that God will open the gateway as we trust in Him and pray.
The Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven was the effect of the way that she lived her life and, particularly, three moments of her life: the moment of Our Lady's conception, the moment she became Mother of God, and the moment of her Son's death.Immaculate ConceptionThe moment of her conception is important because it is the first moment of her existence, the time of the creation of her soul and the making of her body. It was the first moment of the existence of the body that would one day rise from the dead and be taken up to Heaven.We know that the most important aspect of this moment is that God preserved her entire person from sin. Her body was taken from two souls afflicted by original sin, Joachim and Anna, but God prevented her soul from contracting any sin. As a result, we can speak of her body as being sinless as well, as having no contact with sin.You know that sin is the thing that causes death. And death is the thing that causes the corruption and destruction of our body. But God prevented this cause of death from touching Our Lady, at the first moment of her existence.Mother of GodThis blessed creature, who was conceived without any sin, began to grow up. She maintained the purity of body and soul that God had given to her. She was perfectly faithful to her gifts. She did not commit any sin. She lived in humble submission to God.This behavior, this holiness prepared her to become God's mother. It prepared her to receive into her body God Himself. And of course, that was what happened on the day of the Annunciation. Her body changed. God both came inside of her and gave her the power to form His body from her body.Her pure body became the source of the body of God.Co-RedemptrixOur Lord was born and she named Him Jesus or Savior, because He was to save the world from its sins by an act of Redemption.
Pastor Seth Kim spoke on Luke 15:1-24 during Part 2 of the Unlocking Life sermon series, where we learned that we must remember when we were lost, if we want to truly love the lost.

On the day of our baptism, we came to the church alive with physical life but dead in supernatural life. It was because of this fact that our soul was dead with sin that we, or our godparents, had come to ask for eternal life.Then, we went through the ritual of the baptismal ceremony during which we underwent a symbolic death. The pouring of the water on our heads was like a burial in water from which we then rose again to a new life. The ceremony was a symbolic dying with Christ and a symbolic rising with Christ to a new life.What was not symbolic was that, when the water was poured upon our heads, the death of sin was driven from our souls and a new life started to dwell there, a supernatural life.This is what St. Paul means in today's epistle when he says, “we were buried with Him by means of Baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ has arisen from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.”What this means is that, before Baptism, our soul was not capable of doing anything in the supernatural order. It could not move in the supernatural realm and was dead to that realm.We know that an animal is dead when it does not move, when it does not have self-movement. We go up to a dog that we are not sure whether it is sleeping or dead. We move it with our foot and nothing happens. Because the dog does not move, we conclude it does not have physical life.Our soul before Baptism was like that in the supernatural order. We were not able to make any supernatural movement.After Baptism, our soul becomes alive with a new type of life, a supernatural life. That life does not get rid of our physical life or lay on top of our physical life; rather, it goes inside of it.The life of God goes inside of our spiritual soul and gives it new capabilities.It goes inside of our mind and gives our mind the ability to believe the mysteries of the faith.It goes inside of our will and gives it the ability to choose a supernatural good, to love God above all things, to seek the salvation of our soul above all things.St. Paul focuses particularly on one new ability that the new life of Christ in our soul gives us the ability to do: it gives us the capacity to be dead to sin.
Paschal candle dedicated to Our Lady with images of her titles on it. Two of them refer to Our Lady as a star: Stella Matutinis and Stella MarisWe speak of Our Lady as a star because she is a guide for our life. Before we had modern means of navigation, sailors had to rely on the stars in order to set the course for their ships. The stars keep the same position in the heavens every night and so always point in the same direction.Our Lady is the star of the sea of our life to guide us. She is also the “morning star”, the brightest star in the sky: she is the clearest guide for our life.I want to speak today especially about Our Lady as a guide for our youth, as a guide for those of you who have not yet chosen your path in this life. It is like having your ship in the dock and you are getting out the map and charting your course, but you have not yet set out on your voyage. You have your life but you have not yet chosen what we call your state in life.Our Lady is a great guide for you because God her the ability to live different states of life all at the same time and to provide a perfect model for all of them. There are some guides who simply tell you where you need to go but do not walk on that path. There are other guides who show you the way to go by walking on that path themselves. That is what Our Lady has done.She says to our youth, “There are three different paths that you can choose in this life. I have walked on all of them in a certain way, but you will only be able to choose one of them. Each of these paths involves a gift of yourself. You are free to choose the path that you desire but you must seek to choose one of them rather than remain at the crossroads your whole life.”God has given us three states of life to choose from. Our Lady is a model for all of them.

Exodus 33:12-23 True meaning and purpose in life come from God's glory, which provides the strength, direction, and the fuel we need. When we seek His presence, we are transformed, reflecting His nature and character in everything we do. Instead of relying on fleeting worldly success or false idols, we are called to find our true significance in God's eternal glory.
