Why Does St. Matthew List Joseph’s Genealogy?: Dr. Constantinou discusses St. Matthew's presentation of the Nativity of the Lord. Did you ever wonder why the genealogy which is given for Christ is the ancestry of Joseph, not Mary? Why would we even know the genealogy of Jesus anyhow if He was born to a poor and apparently insignificant family? What is the importance of the Virgin birth? How do we respond to people who say that the word in Hebrew is not "virgin" but "young woman"? We will also discuss the origin of the Feast of the Nativity and explain the festal icon. by Search the Scriptures Live

Washing the Feet of the Disciples: Jesus has ended his public ministry and now turns his attention to his disciples. How can he possibly prepare them for what is to come? What final lessons in word and in deed does he give them? In the greatest act of humility next to the cross itself, Jesus washes the feet of the disciples, even Judas himself. How do the Fathers of the Church explain this? The mood is ominous as "the hour" has nearly arrived. by Search the Scriptures Live

Seeing They Do Not See, And Hearing They Do Not Understand: This strange statement actually appears in all four gospels and Acts of the Apostles and is a prophecy about Christ.

84 min listen
“To Those Who Have More Will Be Given”: Christ told the disciples they would understand the mysteries and receive more. Others "seeing would not see and hearing would not understand" and would receive less. Why aren't the mysteries of heaven understandable to all?

The Sin Against the Holy Spirit: The Lord's immense power caused confusion among Jewish leaders and his actions evoked consternation. They accused him of using the devil's power to heal.

Something Greater Than the Temple: In Matthew chapter 12, the Pharisees increasingly challenge the Lord for what they perceive to be his violations of the Law of Moses.

Picking up Your Cross: Christ or Family ?: In Church history, many people were forced to choose between Christ and their own family members, who sometimes even persecuted them.

85 min listen
Leaving Everything for Christ: The call of St. Matthew seems odd to us. He was doing his job and suddenly left everything to follow Christ. Other disciples also responded suddenly and inexplicably. Did they have free will? What brought on such a reaction? What about the responsibilities they left behind? by Search the Scriptures Live
87 min listen
How Many Demons? How Many Demoniacs?: This week we examine a familiar and puzzling story, especially in Matthew's gospel.

The Miracles of Matthew: After the Sermon on the Mount, St. Matthew depicts Christ performing ten miracles in a row, but they aren't included simply to impress us with Christ's sheer power.

The Golden Rule: The "Golden Rule" is considered by many to be the greatest ethical instruction in the history of mankind.

Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged: The admonition to "judge not" may be the most misunderstood or misused verse in the Bible. Are we never to identify anything as sin?

Treasure in Heaven: After finishing his instructions on prayer the Lord continues with emphasizing forgiveness, the secret pursuit of virtue, seeking the Kingdom and the impossibility of loving both God and money.

Lead Us Not Into Temptation Part 2: Why does God allow temptations? Are some trials or tests different from others? Since God is only the source of good, but He allows temptation for our benefit, why does the Lord instruct us in the Lord's Prayer to ask, "lead us not into temptation"? by Search the Scriptures Live
