In this sermon delivered on September 28th, 2025, Fr. Stephen reflects on Christ’s call to become “fishers of men.” Drawing from the witness of the early Church, he challenges us to move beyond lukewarm Christianity and live the Gospel daily through faithful worship, quick repentance, tangible service, heartfelt forgiveness, and joyful invitation. With practical guidance on watchfulness (nepsis), the Jesus Prayer, and simple “one-minute micro-actions,” this homily shows how ordinary Orthodox Christians can transform their homes, parishes, and even society by living as the light of Christ in a dark world.
