As young adults who in a time when we are influenced to gain wisdom and knowledge from Instagram reels and TikTok's, maybe we've lost track of what is wisdom. Or rather, Who is Wisdom and what being one with Wisdom looks like.

Seek Wisdom, Part 1 - Fr. Anthony Mourad

Oh M-A-R-Y Kiahk 12-21-13 St. Mark Orthodox Church JC

My precious Lord Jesus 
No one loves me like Him 
He takes away my pains 
And lifts for me my cross

{What a wondrous life we live In fellowship with the Lord} (2) 
{He blesses our lives And in Him, we abide} (2)
I’m protected in Him

So gloriously my soul 
Defeats all temptations 
For my beloved is sweet 
And altogether lovely

{What a wondrous life we live In fellowship with the Lord} (2) 
{He blesses our lives And in Him, we abide} (2)
I’m protected in Him

Through all my daily worries 
No matter how intense
He guides me by His hand 
To places where I rest

{What a wondrous life we live In fellowship with the Lord} (2) 
{He blesses our lives And in Him, we abide} (2)
I’m protected in Him

And to eternal happiness 
As promised in His word 
On earth a joyful journey 
To the house of the Lord

{What a wondrous life we live In fellowship with the Lord} (2) 
{He blesses our lives And in Him, we abide} (2)
I’m protected in Him

My Precious Lord Jesus

You're my protector
From all that is evil
You hold me by the right hand
My heart with You rejoices

(R) You're the true Shepherd
You carry me on Your shoulders
You take me to green pastures
Your love is overwhelming

You're always with me
You will never leave me
Your voice is within me
"Do not fear, My Child"

You will elevate me
In the midst of my suffering
You strengthen my weakness
You are my true fortress

You will support me
In times of tribulations
Your hand guides me
Doing good for me

You're the True Shepherd (Music by Tamer Mahrous)

Tasbeha / Midnight Praises CK’24

In this sermon Fr. Elijah Estafanous dives into the root of modern loneliness, showing how despite our digital connections and crowded spaces, we often lack deep, meaningful relationships. He emphasizes that our relational nature reflects the image of the Trinity—a God who exists in community. Using theological, sociological, and biblical insights, he challenges us to swim against the tide of superficiality and pursue authentic friendships marked by vulnerability, grace, and intentionality. True friendship not only enriches our lives but is essential for spiritual growth, pointing us back to Christ, the ultimate model of sacrificial love.

Upper Room Media is a ministry of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Its mission is to bring the word of God from a timeless faith into your hearts and mind anywhere at anytime.

The Orthodox Church worships God in continuity with the earliest Church, and as such is the oldest Church. It is a Church of balance: between the mystical and the tangible; between spirituality and theology; between the worship of God and service to humanity. Everything is in balance, otherwise known as right worship, which means Orthodox. It is not a denomination, but rather pre-denominational. It is not a religion but rather a life with God in Christ. 

The Orthodox Church worships God in spirit and truth (John 4:24) and dynamically incarnates that truth in every age - empowering all people from all walks of life to love God, others, and themselves.
