On the Sunday commemorating the Prophet Elijah, the preacher connects Pentecost and the descent of the Holy Spirit as fire with Elijah's showdown on Mount Carmel, where God's fire consumed the sacrifice. The homily warns against modern false idols—social media, wealth, status—and calls the faithful to root them out through confession and devotion. A children's message recounts Elijah hearing God not in the storm or wind, but in the still small voice, teaching that God is encountered in quietness and peace.

A Pentecost homily reflecting on the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, the transformation of the fearful disciples into fearless preachers, and the continuing work of the Holy Spirit in bringing peace, hope, and renewal to believers in a troubled world.

Unknown preacher
On Father's Day and the Remembrance of Elijah, the preacher delivers two sermons. In Armenian, he reflects on the role of fathers, noting that the Church is our mother and the Bible is our father—the greatest educational means for Christian life. In English, he explains the unique Elysian Fast (Fast of Elijah) following Pentecost, its seasonal and cultural significance, and its connection to the Holy Spirit. He then unpacks the Gospel reading about Christ referencing Elijah's mission to the widow of Zarephath, showing how Elijah's life prefigures Christ. The sermon calls the faithful to recognize that welcoming God into our lives brings expectations and obligations, but also sustaining blessings.
