Rejoice and Shine (Adam Melody - Vocals)

Good Friday - 1st Gospel of the 12th Hour | Fr. Gregory Bekhit

In this powerful and eye-opening sermon, Fr. Elijah continues the Behold Your Mother series with a bold proclamation: St. Mary is the Terror of Demons.

Far from the sentimental image of a quiet and docile figure, this message reveals St. Mary as a warrior mother, deeply feared by the demonic forces of darkness. Through Scripture, Church Fathers, and real-world spiritual encounters, we learn how her obedience, purity, and humility have become devastating weapons against Satan.

Principles of Forgiveness & Reconciliation

When the heat rises, God does not always pull us out. He often meets us in the fire and burns away the chains. In Part 2 of the Witness series, Fr. Elijah explores how faithful endurance turns suffering into freedom, formation, and testimony.
What you will hear:
• Daniel 3 revisited. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego enter the furnace bound and walk out unbound. The fire has no power over them, and the Fourth is with them.
• Why God does not always remove hardship. The goal is not comfort but salvation and deeper union.
• From pain science to spiritual life. Rumination magnifies pain, while gratitude and outward love rewire the heart toward healing.
• Living martyrdom today. Schools, jobs, and family life become places of daily witness.
• Practical responses in trials. Ask “Lord, where are You in this and what are You forming in me” and practice thanksgiving in all things.
• An eternal lens. This life is a dot compared to forever. Christ joins us in every furnace.
Scripture touchpoints: Daniel 3, Job 1 and 13, Hebrews 12, 1 Peter 4, Psalm 23, 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
If you are walking through the fire, take heart. The chains are the only things meant to burn, and Christ is with you in the midst.

Witness - Part 2: The Chains are Burned in the Fire

He Who Endures … Will Be Saved. In this sermon, Fr. Daniel reminds us that endurance in Christ is more than surviving life’s struggles—it is remaining faithful and steadfast in Him. When the world is filled with trials, deception, and growing coldness, Christ’s promise is sure: “He who endures to the end will be saved.” Through His abiding presence, we find the strength to persevere and the hope of eternal life. 

He Who Endures … Will Be Saved.
