Friday Theotokia - St Mary & St Minas Coptic Orthodox Church (Feast of Assumption 2025 Live)

Tune into this talk and Q&A delivered by Fr Antony Paul for Coptic Orthodox Answers and reflect on the need to keep our eyes on God. Let us recognise God as our first and greatest love, caring for Him over luxurious living and maintaining eye contact with Him, rather than looking down through a secular eye.

Keeping Your Eyes on God (and Q&A) (Fr Antony Paul)

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.
