Giving Our Hearts to Christ | Sermon (Bassem Iskander)
In this sermon, Bassem Iskander reflects on the healing of the paralyzed man brought to Jesus by his four friends, emphasizing that Christ’s primary mission is the forgiveness and healing of the soul. Bassem challenges listeners to examine where their true treasure, heart, and focus lie—whether with worldly concerns or with Christ. He explores why sin and earthly pleasures often distract believers from fully pursuing God's kingdom, using scripture passages from Matthew, John, Luke, and Romans to highlight the importance of seeking eternal life over temporary gains. Bassem also shares wisdom from Aba Lo of Alexandria about viewing sin as a sickness to be fought against rather than accepted. He encourages intentional repentance and a sincere desire to cleanse the soul, much like a bride cares for her dress. This message is a call to place Christ as the center of life, especially during times of spiritual reflection and fasting. #ForgivenessOfSins #HealingTheSoul #ChristianLiving #SpiritualFocus #Repentance #KingdomOfGod #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org

Harmony of the Gospels [Trial Before Pilate & Judas' Death] | Bible Study (Fr. Matthias Shehad)
Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the trial of Jesus before Pontius Pilate, highlighting the contrast between the Jewish leaders’ accusations and Pilate’s political concerns. He explains Jesus’ affirmation of being the King of the Jews and the significance of His kingdom not being of this world. Fr. Matthias also discusses Judas’ remorse after betraying Jesus, the nature of true repentance, and the consequences of sin. The connection between Jesus as the Passover Lamb and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy is examined. The video addresses Pilate’s struggle with the concept of truth and the rejection of Christ by those preferring power over salvation. Fr. Matthias emphasizes the importance of embracing the full truth of Jesus’ identity and mission. The session closes with reflections on human weakness, forgiveness, and hope. #JesusTrial #PontiusPilate #JudasBetrayal #PassoverLamb #ChristianRepentance #TruthInChrist #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org
