When we seem to make no headway against the evil one, the Lord will come and bring us safely through as we keep our eyes on him.

Instead of being bogged down in discussing ecclesial and theological minutiae, we must remember to live in obedience to the law of Christ.

Father Philip explores the central role forgiveness played in Christ's earthly ministry, as well as its role in our own personal journey toward theosis. Passages discussed: Romans 12:6-14, Matthew 9:1-8

As we see frequently throughout the New Testament, Christ annihilates the evil He encounters and frees those in bondage to it, foreshadowing the work of His crucifixion and resurrection. Fr. Philip discusses this salvific action in the context of the man possessed by a legion of demons, and St. Paul's writings on living the spiritual life. Passages discussed: Galatians 5:22-6:1; Matthew 8:28-9:1

Slavery to sin is Satan leading us to death, but slavery to Christ is complete freedom as we come before him humbly and repentantly as he gives us eternal life. Romans 6:18-23; Matthew 8:5-13

Father Philip explains how whole self can become flooded with the light of God which then shines on others and brings the light of God to them. Passages discussed: Romans 5:1-10; Matthew 6:22-33

Father Philip explains that to be a saint we must follow Jesus, care as Jesus cared, preach Jesus with our words and lives, and by being faithful to Jesus. Passages discussed: Acts 11:19-30, Matthew 4:18-23

Father Philip discusses how the saints are able to to turn their backs on the world: they go beyond their limits in suffering for Christ. We are called to imitate them so we too can be changed. Passages discussed: Hebrews 11:33-40; 12:1-2; Matthew 10:32-33, 37-38, 19:27-30

In this episode, Father Philip discusses the role our relationship with the Holy Spirit plays in our salvation. Passages discussed: Acts 2:1-11; John 7:37-8:12.

In this episode, Fr. Philip discusses the significance of heresy. All heresy leads people away from God and salvation. We cannot change the doctrines of the church but as we accept them we find that Christ changes us. Passages discussed: Acts 20: 16-36, John 17:1-13
