WELCOME TO ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM CHURCH
We are a community-based Eastern Orthodox parish focused on local ministry and worship. We are families, singles, young and old, some new to the Orthodox faith and some life-long members.
We are an Eastern Orthodox community based in Lakewood, Colorado focused on local ministry and worship. We are families, singles, young and old, some new to the faith and some participating from infancy.
The Orthodox Church was established by our Lord, Jesus Christ, at Pentecost. It has been in unbroken existence since that time.
The Church of Antioch was established by the Apostles Paul and Barnabas in 42 A.D., with St. Peter serving for the next eight years as its first prelate. The Church of Antioch is one of the five ancient Patriarchates of the Christian Church, along with Alexandria, Constantinople, Jerusalem, and Rome.
We are in full communion with our brothers and sisters in various other Orthodox Christian jurisdictions, such as the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, the Orthodox Church in America, the Orthodox Church of Russia and the Orthodox Church of Serbia. Together we work to nurture the Orthodox Christians of this land—whether immigrants or native-born, cradle Orthodox, or converts—and to bring all who seek the Truth to the ancient Orthodox Christian Faith.
LIVES OF THE SAINTS
Thursday August 13
St. Paul's Second Letter To The Corinthians 1:1-7
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God and Timothy our brother. To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound for us, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you all also share in our comfort.
Matthew 21:43-46
The Lord said to the Jews who had come to him: "I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it. And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one, it will crush him. When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet.
