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.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 2 ~ Bible Study

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.

This week Fr Elijah speaks to us about three characteristics of St Mary and encourages us to apply them in our own lives if we wish to live in peace.

Life of Endurance (Arabic - عربي)

En Shere Theotoke - Piscataway Chorus | لحن إن شيري ثيؤطوكي الكبير

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

+ 1 Saint John 3:21-22 +

What pleases the Heart of God? + Fr John Boutros +

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.
