Are you ready to stop building barns and start soaring like an eagle in Christ? Experience a powerful Orthodox sermon on the true meaning of wealth, purpose, and authentic joy. The Very Reverend, Priest Constantine uses the parable of the rich fool to expose modern addictions—including our obsession with possessions, digital distractions, and secret struggles. Discover how Christ’s call invites us to move beyond fleeting “euphoric thinking” to real transformation, healthy relationships, and holiness. Learn the Church’s beautiful vision for marriage, personhood, and renewal—where your soul, not your possessions, matter most.

Explore the inspiring story of the Apostle and Evangelist Matthew, celebrated each November 16 in the Orthodox Church. This sermon reflects on Christ’s transformative call to Matthew—a tax collector viewed with disdain—and reveals how Jesus knows our true purpose (telos), the right timing, and invites each of us to turn toward Him. Learn how Matthew’s immediate response set him on the path to sainthood and how the story models repentance, cooperation with grace, and discovering our own personhood in Christ. Join believers in honoring Saint Matthew’s faithful turning and be encouraged to answer Christ’s invitation in your own life. By the Rev. Deacon John D. Pelikan.
