Fr. Ghevond's Sermons

 This page has Fr. Ghevond's sermons which have been delivered in St. Sarkis Armenian Orthodox Church and in other churches throughout the Eastern Diocese. Those sermons, which are written, are not word for word transcripts, but possess the message and meaning preached on that day. Sermons are given in both Armenian and English. Below, however, only the English part of the sermon can be heard. The purpose of these sermons are to help the faithful who are unable to attend the Divine Liturgy and for those who wish to re-read or re-hear that which they heard in church.
