The Letter of Jude is perhaps the least known and studied book of the 27 books that constitute the New Testament. Written by the Holy Apostle Jude it is dedicated to calling the faithful of the Church to contend eagerly for the faith against the influence of false teachers. St. Jude issues a stentorian call for Christians to go deep, to maturely appropriate their own faith, and to fight for its integrity in their own lives and in the lives of their own parishes.&nbsp; Jude aggressively unmasks the satanic character of the false teachers of his time who abused the grace of God and promoted licentiousness. His call to Orthodox faith and holiness holds great relevance for Christians in the 21st century.

The Prodigal Son

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new 7 lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled Heaven: Our True Home. One of the most shocking realities of the preaching and teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ to His early 1st century Judean audience was His fervent, expansive, and repetitive teaching on heaven. Heaven literally permeates the Sermon on the Mount and our Savior’s Parabolic instruction. The Holy Apostles received this single-eyed focus upon the next life from the Lord Christ and passed this teaching on to their disciples in the early Church. Sacred tradition has vivified and animated the discipleship of Christians in their race toward heaven ever since. In these lectures, Father Josiah opens the Scriptures and the writings of the Church Fathers on the subject of heaven in an effort to plant a deep impression of the future life of God’s children, and to stir up a great desire for obtaining it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lecture #1 Heaven in the Holy GospelsLecture #2 Heaven in the Acts of the Apostles and the EpistlesLecture #3 Heaven in the ApocalypseLecture #4 Heaven in the Church Fathers: A FlorilegiumLecture #5 Heaven: A Definitive End and a New BeginningLecture #6 What is Heaven Actually Like: Common QuestionsLecture #7 Heaven Mislaid: The Eclipse of Heaven in the Secular West and the Christian Response&nbsp;

Father Josiah Trenham examines sports betting and gambling through the lens of Christian ethics, exploring their connection to greed and the distortion of stewardship. Drawing from Church teaching, he discusses how these practices undermine spiritual well-being and foster a culture of exploitation. Is gambling merely entertainment, or does it lead to deeper moral and societal consequences? Watch to gain a thoughtful, theological perspective.
