Reading Scripture with the Church Fathers

Righteousness comes from faith, which means that it too is a gift of God. For since this righteousness belongs to God, it is an unmerited gift. And the gifts of God greatly exceed any achievements of our own zeal….Knowledge therefore comes through faith, and without faith there is no knowledge. How so? It is only through faith that we know the power of his resurrection. For what reasoning could demonstrate the resurrection to us? None, but it is through faith. And if the resurrection of Christ in the flesh is known through faith, how can the nativity of the Word be comprehended by reason? For the resurrection is far more plausible to reason than the virgin birth.
St John Chrysostom, Homily 12 on Philippians

We welcome all visitors at the Sunday Liturgy as our guests in the friendship of Christ, with the understanding that Holy Communion is only offered to those baptized or chrismated in the Orthodox faith. Contact Father Constantine Sarantidis at frcsaran@gmail.com if you have questions about the Orthodox faith and our Holy Trinity parish. For a quick visual introduction to the Orthodox Church, click HERE.

Liturgy is pure worship of God; not worship of the self and of the social disorder. The Liturgy brings together everything that makes the Orthodox Church the place where we meet God. Scripture, Theology, Tradition, are brought together as hearts and minds are turned to God the Trinity and the saving death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are no gimmicks in the Orthodox Liturgy.
