Commitment

The 4 Keys To Peace - (Fr Paul Fanous)

"When Christ says 'I am the bread of life', He's saying to us 'I am the only form of sustenance for you, come and share in my life, take my life"

Ultimately Christ's beauty is manifest when he urges us to share in His life and to have Him with and in us. A powerful sermon by Fr. Daniel that really brings to life what Christ was really telling us.

The Bread of Life (Fr. Daniel Fanous)

In a world where darkness is prevailing and we start hearing of the chaos that happens around us it can sometimes get overwhelming. But then Christ,in the middle of all this havoc, comes and tells us "While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light".
The world is in desperate need for the light of Christ and we are the ones he commissioned for this purpose. Make sure you listen to Fr. Daniel's 'ENLIGHTENING' sermon on how to bring this light.

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.
