What if we were ACTUALLY Unified
Aug 25, 2025 • Fr Elijah Estafanous
What causes division—in ourselves, in our families, in our churches, and even in our nation? In this powerful and convicting message, Fr. Elijah challenges us to stop blaming others and ask the bold question: “Maybe it’s me?”
Drawing from Mark 3 and the readings near the end of the Coptic year, this sermon dives deep into the spiritual and emotional roots of division—pride, ego, and lack of repentance. Fr. Elijah speaks candidly about our divided hearts, the battles within our homes, and the tragedy of churches torn apart by ego. He asks: if even Satan isn’t divided against himself, why are we?
You’ll hear stories from real life, including a heartfelt reflection on his own retreat experiences, and the humble wisdom of a monk who simply said, “Abide in Him.” This is a wake-up call to move from passive religion to active repentance. To stop retreating—and start fighting for unity, holiness, and healing.
It’s time to be peacemakers, not peacekeepers. To go from divided to devoted. To let the Eucharist unite us with Christ—and with one another.
If you’ve ever felt torn between two lives, stuck in cycles of conflict, or weighed down by broken relationships—this message is for you.
