A Voice from the Isles

We love and respect God first. Then we love and respect ourselves because we are each made in the image of God.

Fr. Emmanuel gives the sermon and asks, "What is the relationship between loving God, loving your neighbour and loving yourself"?

Fr. Emmanuel Kahn is the preacher today. The Church Fathers taught clearly that to believe fully that Christ has been crucified is also to believe in the Incarnation, the life of Christ on earth, the Resurrection and the Ascension of Christ into heaven.

Fr. Gregory Hallam preaches on the Feast of the Annunciation.

On the feast day of St. Aidan, the patron saint of the parish, Fr. Emmanuel explores how does a person become a saint and how did St Aidan become a saint?

Fr. Gregory Hallam says we are often not aware of how much we owe the Lord, how he looks after us, how he guides and protects us.

Let’s consider why these three disciples—Saints Peter, James and John—were chosen by Jesus Christ to come up with Him to this “high mountain apart” from all His followers. Let’s consider also the response of St Peter as the spokesperson for the three disciples.

How can I be more of a part of the work of Christ and His Church here on earth?

We can be confident that Jesus Christ will forgive us and guide us and heal us - always.

Fr. Emmanuel Kahn preaches on St John Maximovitch.

Fr. Gregory preaches on Peter and Paul - Co-founders of the Church at Antioch.

What is the Kingdom of God and how can we seek it?

Today in our cycle of veneration of Orthodox Christian Saints we remember and celebrate those of the Orthodox Church of the British Isles and Ireland in the first millennium.

Today we celebrate the lives and deaths of all the saints. Here are people so committed to Christ and His Church that we want to remember them and seek their prayers and fellowship.

What does it mean to be “ascended”? We need to know because as surely as Christ ascended, so shall we in Him also ascend.
