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?

How do the Fathers of the Church explain this? The mood is ominous as "the hour" has nearly arrived. by Search the Scriptures Live

The Kingdom of Heaven is Like….: More parables in Matthew 13 teach us about the nature of the Kingdom, its hidden and dynamic qualities, the power of the apostles despite overwhelming opposition by the world, and the tenacity required by the faithful and their ability to acquire the Kingdom. by Search the Scriptures Live
91 min listen
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. Why was this prophecy so crucial in the early Church, and why didn't Christ just explain or enlighten people so they could see and understand? by Search the Scriptures Live
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?

Why Did Jesus Use Parables?: The Lord's teachings were enigmatic at times, especially when He used parables. He said, "Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand." This sounds strange and unfair. Did the Lord truly want people not to understand him? by Search the Scriptures Live
94 min listen

87 min listen
Signs of Jonah: The image of Jonah was ubiquitous in the early Church and remains frequently referenced in Orthodoxy. The statement is deeper than we realize, and Christ's citation of Jonah also reveals His own specific technique of scripture interpretation that the Orthodox still follow. by Search the Scriptures Live

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.

92 min listen
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. But the Lord defends his actions artfully, and in one healing story, Matthew shows how the Lord makes his rabbinic argument. by Search the Scriptures Live
92 min listen
Hiding Christ’s Teachings From the Learned and Wise: Christ thanked the Father for "hiding" his teaching from the "learned and wise" and revealing it to children. Why would God do that if God loves us all and Christ came to save us? Does God prevent some people from understanding? by Search the Scriptures Live
94 min listen
The Kingdom of Heaven Suffers Violence: "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence." For most modern commentators, this is a most enigmatic saying.

90 min listen
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.

98 min listen
Family Persecution Because of Christ: “Brother will deliver up brother to death.” The Lord foretold that we would face persecution for his sake, even from members of our family.

Spiritual Insight Despite Physical Limitations: As we conclude this remarkable set of ten miracle stories, we meet two blind men who persist in crying, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" and a deaf and mute man who cannot express himself at all.

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.

91 min listen
The Stilling of the Storm: The string of miracles Matthew presents here continue, including the stilling of the storm and the healing of Peter's mother-in-law.

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.

92 min listen

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

88 min listen
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?

93 min listen
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. As usual, we will hear from the Fathers on all these matters! by Search the Scriptures Live
