1
So today the Holy Spirit descended upon the church.
2
In that descent, it gave birth to the church and everyone becoming dwelling places of the Holy Spirit.
3
So today we can consider it like The first birthday of the church, kind of.
4
where today It is called the Feast of the Virgin Mary, but in reality it is a feast for all of the churches.
5
because today is the day that The very first building, the very first church was consecrated, and our Lord and Savior, this is in the exerium as well,
6
but Our Lord and Savior along with the apostles came down and conducted divine liturgy, sanctifying the church, setting it apart.
7
for the sacraments.
8
So, Before, it was the birthday of the church.
9
Today is like the first birthday.
10
Because this is the first church Built in Antioch, it was built on Sene the 20th or, what's the name?
11
So June 27th.
12
So it was built yesterday, and then today is the day it was consecrated and sanctified, and the first divine liturgy was conducted within a building of the church.
13
Now obviously, before there was no Divine Liturgy.
14
But as we know, as it says in the book of Acts, "Before this time, There was no like, oh, let's go to church.
15
It was, oh, okay, let's go to Thomas' house on Sunday to do liturgy.
16
And let's go to Aquila's house on Sunday to do liturgy.
17
People would do liturgy from house to house.
18
There was no, oh, this is a church.
19
People just use houses, especially considering those times.
20
it was also a time of persecution, right?
21
So you're doing liturgy like whispering under someone's basement so no one can hear you.
22
God forbid a soldier walks by and hears the name of Jesus, you're done for, you're getting killed immediately.
23
So now this is the first time where it's a very big proclamation in our history where the church is
24
publicly proclaiming her worship.
25
So, This Psalm is used to, and today's Psalm is from Psalm 46 where David says, "The most high sanctified is tabernacle." God is in her midst,
26
she shall not be shaken.
27
God shall help her early in the morning.
28
So this psalm is another psalm that David uses to proclaim and give thanks to God.
29
In this specific scenario, David is giving thanks to God because he has been once again
30
delivered from one of the enemies of the Israelites and again I want to really emphasize.
31
Being delivered isn't just a "Oh God, you saved me from my enemies." It's a lot bigger than that because back then war with the Israelites, it wasn't about me versus you.
32
It was about my God versus your God.
33
So whoever wins this battle, that's a declaration to all the other nations of whose God is the strongest God whose God is the greatest God?
34
So David is giving thanks to God for being saved, not only because he himself was saved, but also because now he doesn't have to worry about being conquered.
35
The people of Israel have to worry about being conquered by foreign gods.
36
Because when a nation conquers, they don't just take your land, they take your religion.
37
They burn everything.
38
They burn all the stuff that had to do with your personal religion.
39
And they enforce upon you their pagan gods.
40
So David is giving thanks to God for saving him from a fate and which and saving him from a life where?
41
He is separated from God.
42
He's not able to publicly and openly worship Him.
43
but it's also, as Psalm is also used to And so in the Psalm, when he's saying sanctified his tabernacle is speaking about the nation of Israel but it's also speaking about the church.
44
The church just literally means, the church is literally a community of people, a group of people.
45
So, He starts by saying God sanctified his tabernacle.
46
What does this mean?
47
Well, in the commentary of the Psalms, It's-- a twofold meaning.
48
First that God sanctified his tabernacle, we are the church.
49
I know a lot of times we say church and we think of like a building, like this is a church, spot is a church.
50
or St. Michael Parish is a church, or this is a church.
51
But the first thing when St. Paul writes about the church It's the community, the body of Christ, the accumulation of all the believers who believe in the Lord Jesus.
52
And so being sanctified, we have been set apart by Christ.
53
How?
54
By the sprinkling and spilling of His blood, right?
55
He has made us set apart from the world, from sinfulness.
56
and from a purpose and living a life that is very ungodly.
57
He has set us apart, made us holy for a new purpose.
58
to live with Him, to live in Him, to live and love Him.
59
And this has happened through the spilling of his blood, through his sacrifice.
60
Without the cross, without the resurrection, there is no church.
61
There is no open gateway to be able to come into the kingdom of heaven
62
or open gateway for Christ to come into our heart and live within us.
63
And it's also through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
64
As you said before, the birthday of the church is what feast?
65
This is what feast?
66
We just had a lie one minute ago.
67
What?
68
Pentecost, beautiful thank you.
69
Yes, so Pentecost is the birthday of the church and
70
so we are also set apart and sanctified because the Holy Spirit now also lives within us.
71
He dwells within us, not like a roommate, but as a companion.
72
Somebody who's always echoing inside of us speaking inside of us ushering, encouraging, affirming us and holy action helping us to, attain the glory that we ought to attain.
73
and then he says God is in her midst she shall not be shaken.
74
What does this mean?
75
Why shall she not be shaken?
76
We see in the epistles for the readings, there's a consistent theme.
77
When it came to Ephesians, the first principle of Peter, there's a consistent theme where We keep on going back to the Psalm of David where he says the chief cornerstone.
78
which the builders rejected, right, has become the chief cornerstone.
79
right we shall not be shaken because we are built upon a rock and that rock is Christ
80
So if you live by the Lord, you will not be shaken.
81
And as Christ said in today's gospel as well, right, we see this, it's like one big cobweb.
82
Where also Christ says right to Peter
83
that upon you I will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her.
84
Now, I want to kind of touch on this a little bit.
85
What does it mean not to be prevailed against?
86
Doesn't mean you're not gonna be tempted.
87
Because if you ask Peter and Paul, especially Paul, he was shaken a lot, right? scourged beyond measure, stoned to death and left for dead, All these things happen to him.
88
What does it mean when David says, "God is in her midst, she shall not be shaken." God is in the midst of the church.
89
He's in the midst of us, we will not be shaken.
90
It means that as Christ said in the gospel, right?
91
We look for a reward where moth dust does not touch our reward, right?
92
So when he says God is in her midst she shall not be shaken.
93
It doesn't mean we're not going to be having a hard time in our life.
94
It doesn't mean we're not going to experience tribulation
95
but rather we rise above tribulation because God has used the very weapon that was used against us for our gain now.
96
Right?
97
The thing that is death, the thing that is suffering that was used against us to have us in fear and suffering, now we are no longer shaken.
98
Because through his cross and through his resurrection, This weapon that was death, this scary object and this scary tool that the devil used
99
that is suffering and pain can now be used for our very salvation.
100
Right?
101
So we shall not be shaken.
102
Meaning that our eternal salvation cannot be taken away from us unless we give it up willingly ourselves.
103
And then lastly, God shall help her just at the break of dawn or shall help her early in the morning.
104
This is, this Psalm is all about, I love it, this Psalm is like a summary of like what it is, what is life in the church.
105
And so lastly, when it says God shall help her at the break of dawn, showing us what is the posture of a Christian within the church?
106
Is that Christ is constantly in our midst.
107
It's not like a one -time thing.
108
It's not a one -time thing where He just sanctifies us once and then we're gone and we're good forever.
109
No. But He consistently is affirming us through His love.
110
He continues to purge us.
111
He continues to cleanse us.
112
And so to wrap up, The important message for today and especially this holiday that is the first birthday of the church you could say.
113
That is the sanctification of a building that is the church is that?
114
The church, the body of Christ, She holds the mysteries...
115
She holds the mysteries of His personhood.
116
She holds the mysteries of the gifts of His resurrection and death.
117
St. John Kasastam says, "On this rock, I will build my church.
118
That is on the faith of his confession.
119
When he's comment, when he's commentating on what Peter said, when Peter made the declaration, you are the son of the living God.
120
Right?
121
When Christ, Chrysostom is saying, "On this rock I will build my church," that is on the faith of his confession.
122
Our faith is built on this soul fact that Jesus is the Son of the Living God.
123
And I think it's so beautiful that we are the body of Christ and
124
Christ could have chose anybody or like chose anywhere else to seal the mysteries of who he is, right?
125
But, He seals it within us.
126
We are the body of Christ.
127
He seals His mysteries, His gifts within us.
128
This is why Christ says the kingdom of heaven is within you.
129
He sealed it within the apostles and the apostles passed it down.
130
This is why when Christ says, I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, this is the holy priesthood.
131
the mysteries of his personhood is sealed within the presence of Christ in the church, and that is the clergy.
132
That is the Holy Mysteries. And so...
133
It's very important for us, as we come to this place every single Sunday, we don't just come in and go out.
134
And this is like a very bad stigma we have in our church, in the EOTC.
135
We come, we wear our Anath Allah, we do our liturgy, we go home.
136
Right?
137
But this is not what the church is about.
138
This is not what we who we are as a body.
139
The body of Christ is somebody who interacts with one another.
140
So this means that we interact with the church and that we partake of the divine sacraments, we partake of the Eucharist, we partake of the Holy Confession.
141
But not only that, we show love and lean on one another as well.
142
We are one body.
143
So that means we don't have superficial relationships.
144
We have close friends, people who we edify with one another.
145
We also, this is why like you see EUL or Nazi, all the people who are doing announcements are always like, "Info table, info table." We always invite you guys to come and participate more.
146
because it isn't just a building.
147
This is a living community.
148
So I pray that.
149
You will emulate the early church and how they participate with one another.
150
Glory be to God.
151
Let's call up choir.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
