So many of us are silently escaping — not just from stress or pain, but from God Himself. In this raw and deeply personal talk, Fr. Paul exposes the hidden ways we numb our souls: overworking, over-serving, doom scrolling, even “good” habits that keep us from sitting with our wounds in Christ’s presence.
✨ You’ll hear:
The difference between behavior modification and real heart transformation
How modern escapes are our spiritual tombs
Why the Prodigal Son, Jonah, and the Samaritan Woman all reflect our internal running
St. Moses’s piercing warning: “He who flees from tribulation flees from God.”
St. Ephrem’s healing reminder: “Bring yourself to God not as you ought to be, but as you are.”
📖 “By His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5) – not by avoiding our wounds, but by letting the Cross touch them.
Don’t just manage your pain. Let Christ heal it.
🙌 Come as you are. Bring the mess. Let Jesus transform it.

Surrendering To God’s Will

Fr. Paul opens Malachi 1 with God’s first word to a weary people: “I have loved you.” From exile to return, Nehemiah’s broken walls, and neglected tithes, this talk confronts cheap worship and calls us back to giving God the first and the best. Learn why outward rituals without heart do not please God, how “living sacrifices” looks for students and young adults, and why discipline is an expression of love. If you have ever asked, “In what way have You loved us,” this message walks through Malachi, Nehemiah 13, and 2 Timothy 3 to rekindle true devotion and a pure offering.

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.
