Bishop Irenei encourages us all to live as faithful sheep in the flock of Christ. The beautiful characteristics of our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ are unfolded by Bishop Irenei (Steenberg) as he guides the pastors of the Church in imitating the Chief Shepherd. These lectures are illumining not just for clergy, but for the laity as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lecture 2: The Qualities of the Saints

Fr. Josiah exposits the Book of Revelation verse by verse in order to give the reader insight into both the original meaning of the text to its 1st century audience and a practical application of its message to the Church today. The Revelation of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian completes the New Testament Canon. It is both an end and a beginning, as it unveils to the Church both the cataclysmic conclusion of this falling age, and the ushering in of the New Heavens and New Earth where righteousness dwells forever. The Revelation, or the Apocalypse, as it is traditionally known, is a unique genre of literature among the 27 books of the New Testament known as "apocalyptic." In 22 sacred chapters St. John reveals the zeal of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ to maintain the purity of His Church, and to lead Her victoriously into His eternal Kingdom. Under numerous symbols and images, as well as dramatic and confrontational historical depictions, the nature of the war in heaven and on earth is revealed between the Church of Jesus Christ and Her enemies: the dragon, the beast, the false prophet, the harlot and those in alliance with evil. The message of the Lord to His much-suffering Church of the 1st century and today is this: Be faithful to the end, for the Lord is coming quickly to reward those who hold fast to His Name.

Lecture 4: American Degradation

Father Maximos (Constas) - a highly esteemed patrologist and the world's leading authority on the teaching of St. Maximos the Confessor - presents an edifying overview of the life and works of this magnificent man of God and teacher of the Church.&nbsp; St. Maximos the Confessor, who served God from 580-662, is one of the great theologians of the Orthodox Catholic Church. This devout monk, was a leading Constantinopolitan intellectual, a prolific author on doctrinal, ascetical, exegetical and liturgical subjects, and a confessor of Holy Orthodoxy who lost his right hand and tongue for his stentorian opposition to heresy. Father Maximos is Senior Research Scholar at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology.&nbsp;

In this thought-provoking video, Father Josiah Trenham addresses the claim that Scripture alone is sufficient for Christian faith, without the need for the Church. He examines the dangers of isolating the Bible from Church tradition and teaches why both are essential for a complete and authentic Christian life. Discover why the Church and Scripture must work together to preserve true faith and practice.
