Part 17 of the Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons series
👉 "Where is Your hand, O Lord? Where is Your kingdom on earth? Why do so many perish, when You desire all to be saved?"
This is the voice of humanity standing before its Creator, in tears and reverence - questioning, pleading, and hoping.
It is the cry of every broken heart that feels weak before sin, abandoned in struggle, and lost amid the corruption of the world.
And yet - through every warning, through every struggle - this sermon ends with hope:
✨ God does not leave His creation.
✨ He comforts the fallen.
✨ He raises the weak.
✨ He works all things for His glory.
This is not just a sermon to listen to - it is a mirror of your own soul.
🙏 Let this dialogue with God become your dialogue. Listen deeply, pray along, and let the Lord Himself answer you.

Why God Delays in Answering? And Left Me Alone With My Pains
Lord, Why Do You Stand Far Off?, God's Delay… Or My Transformation?, When God Waits – And I'm Left A
by Beshoy Mahrous
read by Beshoy Mahrous
Part of the Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons series
Why does God delay in answering?
Why do I pray, weep, fast-and still, silence?
In this soul-piercing sermon by Pope Shenouda III, known for his divine wisdom and spirit-led counsel, we explore one of the hardest and holiest questions:
Why does God seem far away in times of pain?"Why, O Lord, do You stand far off? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?" (Psalm 10:1) And many of us today echo this cry.
But maybe God's silence isn't absence. Maybe it's preparation. Maybe it's grace.
Through powerful biblical stories-from Abraham to Joseph, Hannah to Elijah, from the Psalms to Isaiah and the New Testament-we uncover the deep truth:
God may delay, but He never forgets.
He works in silence. He prepares in stillness.
His "delay" is often His way of strengthening our soul, deepening our trust, cleansing our heart, and shaping us for a greater purpose."Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him." (Psalm 37:7) "Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." (Isaiah 40:31)
This message is for every soul that has whispered,
"Lord, I've waited so long. Where are You?"
"Faith is not believing that God will work… it is knowing that He is already working." (John 5:17) "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten." (Joel 2:25)
📖 Let this message bring peace to the restless, calm to the weary, and hope to the discouraged.
God`S Warnings to His Beloved - A Merciful Alarm
How The Lord Awakens Us To Return, When The Alarm Rings But The Heart Refuses To Wake
by Beshoy Mahrous
read by Beshoy Mahrous
Part of the Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons series
Have you ever thought that the trial you're facing might be a divine warning in love?
Is that pandemic, illness, earthquake, or accident really just coincidence?
Or could it be God's way of speaking to us?
🕊️ In this powerful and deeply moving sermon, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III opens our eyes to the truth behind God's warnings.
He shows us how God loves us enough to shake us awake-to warn us before it's too late.📖 Biblical Examples of God's Warnings:
1️⃣ Sodom and Gomorrah:
2️⃣ The People of Nineveh:
3️⃣ In the Days of Noah:⚠️ How Does God Warn Us?
God uses many ways to reach the heart:
🔹 A painful trial… suffering, loss, failure.
🔹 A sudden illness… to push us to examine our spiritual life.
🔹 A global pandemic… a collective wake-up call.
🔹 A rebuke from a faithful servant… a piercing arrow to the conscience.
🔹 A shocking event… shaking our foundation and drawing us back to God."Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts." (Hebrews 3:15)🔥 Why Does God Warn Us?
✅ So we turn back from destruction.
✅ So we don't perish like the people of Sodom.
✅ To prepare us for eternal life.
✅ To lead us to self-examination and repentance.
✅ So our hearts cling to Him-not this fading world."Unless you repent, you too will all perish." (Luke 13:3)
Be Blessed in Your Coming and Going, the Meaning of True Blessing Beyond Wealth or Success
How To Live Under God's Favor, Pope Shenouda Iii - English Sermons
by Beshoy Mahrous
read by Beshoy Mahrous
Part of the Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons series
What does it really mean to be blessed? Is blessing just about abundance, or is it something deeper-something spiritual and eternal?
🎙️ In this powerful sermon, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, the late Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church, unveils the rich and sacred meaning of blessing according to the Word of God. You'll discover how to live your life entirely under the open hand of God's grace-whether in work, family, health, or the quiet depths of your soul.
✝️ From the very beginning of creation, blessing was God's seal:
"And God blessed them and said: Be fruitful and multiply." (Genesis 1:28) "Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it." (Genesis 2:3)
📖 Blessing is not about material wealth or high status-it is about God's presence in your life.
It is His hand stretched over your path, His breath in your work, His comfort in your pain."The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and He adds no sorrow to it." (Proverbs 10:22) "You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out." (Deuteronomy 28:6)
🔑 So where does blessing come from?
1️⃣ From God Himself – when you walk in His commandments.
2️⃣ From holy people – like Melchizedek who blessed Abraham.
3️⃣ From parents – "Honor your father and mother, and it will go well with you."
4️⃣ From the poor and needy – when you serve, give, and comfort others.
5️⃣ From sacred places – the house of the Lord is a wellspring of grace.
6️⃣ From God's Word – Scripture is a flowing river of blessing.
7️⃣ From the holy sacraments – the Church is a fountain of divine life.
8️⃣ From the holy Cross – mark yourself with it and you receive its power.
9️⃣ From prayer – "I will not let You go unless You bless me." (Genesis 32:26)
How to Find Peace in God - Don`t Worry - Cast your Burdens on him, He will carry you

💬 Feeling overwhelmed?
Does life feel too heavy?
Are you carrying more than you can bear… and no one sees it?
Jesus sees it. He came for you.
Not only to save you from sin…
But to comfort you from anxiety, free you from fear, heal your inner pain, and carry your burdens.
✝️ Heaven is speaking to every weary soul through this message…
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me."
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."
💔 The whole world is tired…
Nations are tired. Families are tired. Every home carries silent pain. Every heart is burdened with something.
📖 The Word of God is alive with comfort: "Whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
Be Wise in the Eyes of God How to Live With True Wisdom
Pope Shenouda Iii - English Sermons
by Beshoy Mahrous
read by Beshoy Mahrous
Part of the Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons series
🕯️ Wisdom isn't just intelligence, it's a way of life.
It's not a certificate, or sharp mental ability, or cleverness in speech.
True wisdom is when your heart is pure, your thoughts are clear, and your path is aligned with God's will.
In this unforgettable sermon, Pope Shenouda III, the former Coptic Orthodox Pope-called "The Golden Mouth" by many-explains the profound difference between being smart and being truly wise in the eyes of the Lord.
This English-translated message is especially prepared for:
Orthodox Christians raised outside the Middle East
Second and third-generation immigrants who may struggle with Arabic
All Christians worldwide who seek to grow in spiritual maturity, regardless of denomination
🔑 Key Topics in This Sermon:
The difference between intelligence and godly wisdom
The traits of a truly wise person in God's sight
How to live wisely both spiritually and practically
How to walk in God's commandments with discernment and humility
📖 Biblical Anchors:
"Everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock." (Matthew 7:24)
"But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand." (Matthew 7:26)
🧠 What's the Difference Between Intelligence and Wisdom?
Intelligence understands quickly, analyzes fast, and may solve problems.
Wisdom lives rightly, even if not academically brilliant.
There are brilliant philosophers… yet they deny God.
"The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'" (Psalm 14:1)
No Chance After Death – The Truth About Judgment, Death & the Just Judge
Pope Shenouda Iii - English Sermons
by Beshoy Mahrous
read by Beshoy Mahrous
Part of the Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons series
Are you ready to stand before the Just Judge?
Are you ready to give an account for every word, every thought, every intention?
In this powerful sermon, Pope Shenouda III, former Coptic Orthodox Pope and one of the most revered voices in modern Christian history-known by many as "the Golden Mouth"-speaks about one of the most critical themes of all spiritual life:
Death and Judgment.
🕯️ While we love to speak of God's love… His mercy… and His forgiveness…
There's another attribute of God that cannot be ignored:
God the Righteous Judge.
"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31)
"Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward." (Luke 16:2)
📌 Why Should You Reflect on Death and Judgment?
Because in today's world, death no longer has an age.
A child may die before the elder.
The rich may perish in the height of their success.
So many are distracted by pleasure, work, or entertainment, unaware that eternity draws near.
Remember the parable of the rich fool:
"You have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry."
But God said to him:
"You fool! This night your soul will be required of you." (Luke 12:20)
📖 Death Reveals. Judgment Evaluates.
In that hour:
The books are opened
The works are exposed
The thoughts are examined
There is no escape, no mediator, unless you've lived in true repentance.
✝️ How Can You Prepare for Death and Judgment?
1️⃣ Examine Yourself Daily:
2️⃣ Live in Ongoing Repentance:
3️⃣ Pursue Holiness on Earth to Live it in Heaven:
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." (Matthew 5:8)

A Powerful Christian Guide - Finding Peace, Wisdom, And Discernment In The Midst Of Life's Troubles
by Beshoy Mahrous
read by Beshoy Mahrous
Part of the Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons series
In this profound and soul-healing sermon, we dive deep into a question every human being must face: How do we deal with life's problems? And more importantly, what is God's will in solving them?
Everyone encounters trials. But the difference lies in our response. Some collapse emotionally: panic, sorrow, anxiety, or even illness. Others react with lies, manipulation, or anger. But none of these solve the issue.
This sermon teaches: ✅ How to find the root cause of the problem, not just treat the symptoms ✅ How to avoid sin-based solutions that only lead to greater consequences ✅ How to solve conflicts with humility, patience, and discernment ✅ How prayer, wisdom, and peace lead to true and lasting solutions
Real-life biblical stories and examples fill this talk with relevance:
• Ahab and Jezebel's wicked plan to steal Naboth's vineyard
• Jacob and Esau's reconciliation after years of hatred
• Abraham's impatience with God's promise
• Rehoboam's stubbornness and the kingdom's division
• Joseph's long suffering turned into glory
God's Will in Problem Solving
✨ How do we know if God is leading us to a solution?
This sermon walks you step by step through:
• Reverent prayer that connects your soul to heaven
• God's Word as the guiding light
• Inner peace as a confirmation of His will
• Wise counsel from spiritual mentors
• God's timing as a crucial part of the answer
• Trusting even when silent
This message concludes with a life-changing truth:"Every locked door has a key in God's hand."
God's Purpose in Pain - How Trials and Tribulations are essential?
Discover The Blessings Hidden In Every Trial
by Beshoy Mahrous
read by Beshoy Mahrous
Part of the Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons series
In this profound and transformative sermon, we reflect on one of the most misunderstood and deeply spiritual aspects of the Christian life: trials and suffering.
During the Holy Forty Days, when our Lord Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He walked the path of suffering before glory. And so must we. This video dives deep into the spiritual reality that suffering is not only part of the journey - it is the gateway to eternal life."In the world you will have tribulation… But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
St. Paul, St. Peter, the martyrs, the apostles, the Virgin Mary - all walked through fire. Yet they emerged radiant. Their secret? They saw God in the fire."If we suffer with Him, we shall also be glorified with Him." (Romans 8:17)
In this sermon, you'll learn:
• The six marks of trials that are truly from God
• How suffering trains the soul, purifies the heart, and prepares us for heaven
• Why we must endure with joy, not just patience
• The role of self-denial, persecution, and sacrificial love in spiritual maturity
• How trials deepen prayer, inspire repentance, and anchor humility"Whoever flees from tribulation, flees from God." – St. Paul the Anchorite"The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." (Romans 8:18)
The Battle Within: How to Defeat Duality, Hypocrisy, and Fear to Become One With God
A Powerful Christian Sermon On Inner Struggle And Wholeness
by Beshoy Mahrous
read by Beshoy Mahrous
Part of the Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons series
Have you ever felt like you're not one person… but two?
Like something inside you is pulling you toward God, but something else is pulling you toward sin?
This inner conflict isn't strange - it's real. It's spiritual. And it's universal.
In this deeply personal and powerful sermon, Pope Shenouda III speaks directly to the divided heart - the inner war every soul fights:
⚔️ Between desire and conscience
⚔️ Between the flesh and the spirit
⚔️ Between fear and love
⚔️ Between the world and God
As St. Paul writes:
"The flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other." (Galatians 5:17) "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:1)
And as one author once said:
"I struggled with myself so fiercely, I felt as if I were two people inside one body - one pulling me forward, one holding me back."
This battle leaves many feeling lost, guilty, and confused. But if the good inside you wins… you'll finally find peace.
Pope Shenouda explains that fear isn't from God.
Fear comes when we leave a door open for sin.
If you're afraid… check your heart. Are you living too much for the world and too little for eternity?"Perfect love casts out fear." (1 John 4:18) "Walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise." (Ephesians 5:15)
🕊️ Fear binds you… but the Holy Spirit sets you free.
As St. Augustine once said:
"I sat above the world when I found that I no longer desired anything, and I feared nothing."
