I Surrender All (St Mark’s Zambia)

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. 

The Sound of Silence - Decluttering the Soul

"The Lord Jesus Christ is Holy, He accepts our repentance. He accepts sinners. But He does not accept Sin." Tune in as Fr Anthony Sharkawy explores how we must live in repentance, how to do this in 2025, how God calls for the sinners, not the righteous and much more!

The Grace In Steps of Healing

Ever feel like you’ve been toiling all night and catching nothing? In this powerful sermon, Fr. Elijah  reflects on Luke 5 and the miraculous catch of fish, reminding us that God’s work in our lives is never accidental. Every struggle, delay, and disappointment can become an invitation to go deeper with Christ.
Through the story of Peter’s encounter with Jesus, Fr. Elijah explores how God meets us in exhaustion, teaches us to trust beyond logic, and calls us to launch into the deep — into a faith that transforms doubt into surrender. Don’t wait until you’ve reached your limit to turn to Him; run to Jesus from the very beginning.

📖 “Nevertheless, at Your word, I will let down the net.” – Luke 5:5


Stop Toiling Alone and Run to Jesus

Fr. Paul opens a deep Bible journey through the life of Moses and shows how God forms a soul over a lifetime. Scripture is not background noise. It is how we hear Christ, grow, and find direction. This talk walks through Exodus 1–3 and invites you to cooperate with grace in every season.

What you will learn
 • Why the Word of God must be daily if you want to know Christ
 • How Moses’ story becomes a pattern for your soul from birth to calling
 • The faith of Moses’ parents and the providence of God over the Nile
 • Why hidden years in Midian are not wasted years but God’s classroom
 • What “take off your sandals” means for real repentance and readiness
 • How God reveals His heart before He gives any assignment
 • The meaning of “I AM WHO I AM” for identity and trust
 • How excuses fade when God says, “I will be with you”

Life Of Moses - Part 1: The God Who Sees, Forms, and Sends Out

Moses returns from the burning bush to face Pharaoh, and we discover that this is our story too. Drawing on St. Gregory of Nyssa’s Life of Moses, we follow the soul’s ascent to God, the inner Pharaoh that resists freedom, and the purifying path that leads from bondage to the Promised Land. The plagues are not random punishments. They reveal the passions that enslave us and the grace that heals us when we turn to Christ.
We walk through Moses’ five excuses at the bush, God’s patient answers, and the gift of an “Aaron” in our lives for support and discernment. Then we look at each plague as a mirror for the heart. Water to blood shows truth distorted. Frogs expose impulses that leap out of an unguarded heart. Flies, boils, hail, and locusts uncover thoughts, guilt, rage, and greed. Darkness reveals how a heart can live in light yet only see night. The death of Egypt’s firstborn teaches us to kill the first stirrings of sin before they grow.
The same sun that melts wax hardens clay. God does not force grace. He invites. When the soul yields, Egypt gives way to Exodus, darkness to light, and the tyrant loses his grip. Christ’s cross is the cure that turns fire into light and pain into healing.

Life Of Moses - Part 2: When the Soul Meets its Pharaoh

In today’s sermon, Fr Elijah reflects on how God transforms our deepest weaknesses into testimonies of His strength and glory. What once symbolised defeat can become the very sign of victory. Tune in and be reminded that with Christ, we’ve never seen anything like this.

"For when I am weak, then I am strong."
2 Corinthians 12:10

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.
