Living Orthodoxy in a Sinful World
Saturday Jul 04, 2015
Saturday Jul 04, 2015
Many people have questions about our Orthodox Christian Faith. Many simply do not remember what they learned in Sunday School. Many are not comfortable asking their questions in public. But ALL of us can benefit from the questions of others. This week’s question is inspired by Saint Paul’s words, “It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak. Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God.” (Romans 14.21-22) In the context of recent contemporary issues facing the Church in America, what does Saint Paul mean when he says these words, and how do we live Orthodoxy in a sinful world?

The Light of Christ in the Narthex

Many people have questions about our Orthodox Christian Faith. Many simply do not remember what they learned in Sunday School. Many are not comfortable asking their questions in public. But ALL of us can benefit from the questions of others. This week’s question addresses the “how” and “why” of lighting candles in the Narthex. Some people think lighting candles is just “another thing we do” as Orthodox Christians that has no meaning. But when you place that candle in the sand, you are doing MUCH more than just lighting a candle.

I’m Distracted by Others in Church

Many people have questions about our Orthodox Christian Faith. Many simply do not remember what they learned in Sunday School. Many are not comfortable asking their questions in public. But ALL of us can benefit from the questions of others. This week’s question is a follow-up to last week’s “Which Way Should I Look?” where we discuss the truth, sometimes difficult truth, that when we are distracted in Church, it might be because we don’t understand Liturgy like we should. We answered a second question this week, also along the theme of what are eyes see in Church, in which we discuss the different colors the Church uses for the clergy vestments and to cover the Holy Altar.

Which Way Should I Look?

Wednesday Jun 10, 2015
Many people have questions about our Orthodox Christian Faith. Many simply do not remember what they learned in Sunday School. Many are not comfortable asking their questions in public. But ALL of us can benefit from the questions of others. This week’s question is from someone who noticed many people doing something different while the Priest moves throughout the Church during services. A newcomer to Orthodox especially may be confused by what seems like chaos among the faithful. “Which way should I look?” Now, here is an answer to that basic question. If you would like to submit a question for our Questions and Answers Summer Sermon Series, please visit our website at http://LiveANewLifeInChrist.org and we will do our best to include your question this summer.

When Enough Isn’t Enough

Everyone thirsts for something, but only one thing will satisfy your heart. Jesus said, “"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." (John 7.37-38) It is only when we thirst for God that our heart will be satisfied. If we thirst for wealth, it will never be enough. If we thirst for power and authority, it will never be enough. If we thirst for knowledge, it will never be enough. When enough isn’t enough, you’re probably thirsting for the wrong thing. Thirst after God, and you will never thirst again.
