Beatitudes Part 2
The sermon defines “blessedness” (Makarios) as an internal, self-sufficient joy independent of circumstances. Focusing on the first Beatitude, Brother Charles asserts that spiritual growth begins with “poverty of spirit”—the humble recognition of one’s own spiritual bankruptcy and total dependence on God’s grace.
Isaiah 12
The sermon explores Isaiah 12, contrasting self-reliance and fear with the certainty of faith. By analyzing four types of trust, Brother Elias urges the congregation to move past “inconsistent belief” into a courageous trust that replaces the bondage of fear with the joy of salvation and constant praise.
Beatitudes – Part 1
Brother Charles teaches on the first two Beatitudes, defining “blessedness” as a self-contained, inner joy (Makarios) independent of circumstances. He argues that spiritual poverty and mourning for sin are the essential “doors” to the Kingdom, leading to true comfort and the strength of meekness found only in Jesus Christ.
Remembering Jesus
This bilingual sermon explores the “Great Exchange” at Golgotha, where Jesus took on humanity’s sin, curse, and isolation to provide righteousness, blessing, and reconciliation. Through illustrative stories of sacrifice, Brother Edward exhorts the congregation to examine their hearts and live daily in the victory and light of the cross.
