In this sermon from St. Andrew Orthodox Christian Church, Father explains the profound symbolism and theological significance behind the Icon of the Theophany (Christ's Baptism). As we celebrate the season of Epiphany, we explore how the baptism of our Lord in the Jordan River serves as a pivotal revelation of the Holy Trinity and the Incarnation. Key Highlights of the Sermon: The New Exodus: Discover why the baptism took place at the Jordan River, signifying a new exodus from the wilderness of sin into the spiritual promised land of the Kingdom of God [05:04]. The Revelation of the Trinity: Learn how the presence of the Son, the descent of the Holy Spirit as a dove, and the voice of the Father reveal the foundational doctrine of the Holy Trinity [07:19]. Symbolism in the Icon: Father breaks down the specific details found in the icon, including: The Two Cliffs: Representing the Old and New Testaments [09:03]. The Axe at the Tree: A reminder of the urgent need for repentance and bringing forth good fruit [09:15]. The Snakes/Demons: Symbolizing Christ’s victory over the powers of darkness [10:13]. The Figures on the Fish: Representing all of creation coming to life as the Divine Logos enters the water [10:45]. The Power of Baptism: Understanding the shift from ritual washing to the New Testament sacrament where God infuses us with divine power to overcome sin [12:00]. The Internal Struggle: A reflection on how the Holy Spirit dwells within us after baptism and how our spiritual struggle changes in nature as we grow in relationship with God [13:11]. Join us as we dive deep into the beauty of Orthodox iconography and the life-changing reality of Christ's manifestation to the world. Sermon by Father Cassian Dunlop at St Andrew the Apostle Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church in Eustis, Florida. Sundays: Matins: 9:15 AM Divine Liturgy: 10:00 AM We at St Andrew are Orthodox Christians located in Eustis, Florida, worshiping according to the ancient Western Rite practiced by the early Christians in the West for the first 1,000 years of Christianity. We are canonical (mainline) Orthodox in the Antiochian Patriarchate headquartered in Damascus, Syria, under His Beatitude Patriarch John X, and in the self-ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America under His Eminence Metropolitan SABA, within the Western Rite Vicariate under His Grace Bishop JOHN. What is Our Worship Like? Many of the Antiochian churches use the Byzantine Liturgical Rite, Middle Eastern in style. Our parish is one of about 10% of the Antiochian parishes who use the Western Rite, traditional Episcopalian/Roman Catholic in style and fully Orthodox Christian in content. The order of the service is Western and familiar to Americans from liturgical churches, our choir sings simple Gregorian chant for the propers, and the congregation sings Western hymns (i.e Love Divine All Loves Excelling, Be Thou My Vision, Away in a Manger, etc.).
