Unknown preacher
On New Sunday (Nor Giragi / Krknazadik), the first Sunday after Holy Resurrection, the preacher explores the etymological and theological meanings of the day's names in Armenian and English. He explains how 'Krknazadik' (Double Easter) recalls the Passover (Pesach) theme of being set apart from death, now fulfilled in Christ's resurrection. He then traces the origins of 'Giragi' (from Greek Kyrie, Lord's day) and 'Mia Shahpat' (first of the week), showing that Sunday is not merely the first of seven days but the 'eighth day'—the beginning of a new creation through the resurrection, calling believers to put away the old and embrace new life.

Unknown preacher
On the fifth Sunday of Lent (Sunday of the Judge), the preacher encourages the congregation to persevere in their Lenten disciplines even if they have stumbled, then expounds the parable of the unjust judge and the widow. He draws two lessons: persistence in prayer and confidence in Christ as the perfect judge. He connects this to the previous Sunday's parable of the unjust steward, identifying the rhetorical pattern of arguing 'from the stronger' — if even flawed people do good things, how much more will God, who is perfect, act for our benefit. He illustrates this with examples from Matthew 6, parental love, and human sacrifice, culminating in God's sacrifice of his Son and the promise of resurrection.
