2 Corinthians 5:11-15 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this lecture on 2 Corinthians 5:11-15, Fr. Gabriel opens with the judgment seat of Christ and a question any Christian can ask each day: what would the Lord say about my life so far? He shows how Paul turns "the terror of the Lord" on himself instead of on the Corinthians, and why the Church is an outpost of the kingdom of heaven. Drawing on the vision of Ezekiel and the iconography of our own church, he explains what it means that "one died for all," why Orthodox Christians speak of the Cros
2 Corinthians 5:1-10 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this first Bible study of the new year, Fr.

The class talks about why true Christians are the ones who struggle, why God so often works in the part of us we cannot see, and what it means that our l

Read excerpt
In this lecture on The Orthodox Faith Class: Holy Week, Fr. Gabriel walks the catechism class through the services of Holy Week day by day, from Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday to the Bridegroom services, Holy Unction, the Mystical Supper, the Twelve Passion Gospels, and the Royal Hours of Holy Friday. He explains the unbinding of Lazarus as an image of confession, why the Lord enters Jerusalem on a donkey, and why the mocked and beaten Christ is called the Bridegroom. He then follows the Lamen
