This bilingual sermon explores the “Power of Love” as a transformative force that heals the body, overcomes enemies, and ensures eternal life. By synthesizing various Biblical examples, Brother Ivan argues that love is the engine of faith and the only permanent spiritual reality that remains when all else fades.
Brother Elias examines the internal ministry of the Holy Spirit, focusing on His roles as Comforter, Teacher, and Discerner. By contrasting spiritual peace with worldly distractions, he emphasizes that the Spirit transforms scripture into reality, protects believers from deception, and confirms their identity as children of God through an internal witness.
This bilingual sermon (English/Armenian) identifies three “winds”—doubt, false doctrine, and trouble—that test the believer. Brother Elias emphasizes that victory is found not through physical effort, but through the “transport system” of meditation, which moves God’s promises from intellectual head-knowledge into the heart, where faith becomes a natural, unconscious byproduct.
This bilingual sermon explores why God delays answers to prayer, citing divine timing, character refinement, the testing of faith, and celestial warfare. Using the examples of Joseph, Daniel, and the Brother Edward’s own conversion in Tehran, it encourages the congregation to persevere with tenacity and remain steadfast in God’s presence.
The sermon calls for a shift in attitude toward church attendance and stewardship. By viewing the church as Christ’s Bride and Body, believers must demonstrate respect through punctuality, prayerful preparation, and financial tithing. True relationship with God is inseparable from active, responsible participation in the local church community.
Brother Edward delivers a bilingual sermon on church unity, arguing that our relationship with God is inseparable from our treatment of others. Through powerful stories of martyrdom (Brother Dibaj and Hayk) and family transformation, he asserts that sacrificial love is the ultimate tool for evangelism and the prerequisite for answered prayer.
This bilingual sermon (Armenian/English) explores the “Body of Christ” metaphor from 1 Corinthians 12. It emphasizes that church unity requires diversity, not uniformity. By recognizing Christ as the Head and valuing each member’s unique role, the church functions effectively, sharing both the burdens and joys of its members.
This Palm Sunday sermon contrasts Christ’s eternal, peaceful kingdom with the fleeting, violent empires of man. Brother Edward calls for a transition from heavy, self-centered prayer to joyful, Christ-centered worship, emphasizing that true satisfaction and the “desires of the heart” are found in rejoicing in the Lord’s presence.
This bilingual Christmas sermon distinguishes between religion—which condemns, sympathizes, or merely advises—and Christ, who physically enters humanity’s “pit” of sin to rescue them. Using personal testimony and the parables of Zacchaeus and the Samaritan woman, Brother Edward presents salvation as a magnificent, perfect, and eternal gift available to all.
The sermon defines faith as the verbal confession of God’s promises. True confession requires holiness, alignment with Scripture, and unwavering assurance. Brother Edward emphasizes that unity in prayer releases specific spiritual power, urging the congregation to speak life over their families, their community, and the nation of Iran.
This bilingual sermon explores Matthew 14, emphasizing Jesus as the sovereign “Lord of Miracles” who sustains us during life’s storms. By analyzing Peter’s walk on water and Jesus’ life of prayer, Brother Hamburtsam encourages the congregation to maintain their spiritual focus on Christ rather than their surrounding difficulties.
The sermon emphasizes that faith is a series of critical elections: choosing Jesus over Barabbas (the crowd), Christ over tradition, and forgiveness over bitterness. By examining the paralyzed man and the repentant thief, the Brother Raffie demonstrates that internal healing and “paradise” begin the moment one chooses to forgive.
This bilingual sermon identifies three major obstacles to trusting God: comparing oneself to others, relying on present circumstances, and narrow-mindedness. Through biblical examples and modern testimonies of healing and martyrdom, Brother Edward emphasises that true faith requires divine revelation and the patience to trust God’s unique, long-term plan.
The sermon identifies the “secret” of evangelism as deep, love-driven intercession. Drawing on the examples of Moses and Jesus, Brother Edward argues that true spiritual fruit requires a “burden” from the Holy Spirit. Success in ministry comes not from duty, but from “sowing in tears” to “reap in joy.”
