To be honest, I still haven't totally grasped the first sermon totally. Maybe you could write down what you got from it so perhaps I can understand more. ( feel free to write about any of them)
Thank you so much for that. I really needed that. I watched the first sermon and its amazing.
From it, I learned that it's not what I do that pleases God. I'll always be a failure. But no matter how much of a failure I am, I know He'll love me. And because of this, I will give thanks to Him, I will serve Him, and I will love Him all my life.
Thank you soo much for that sermon!!! God bless you!
THIS IS GROUND BREAKING FOR ME!!! I feel like this issue is just so un talked about with in our Orthodox church. Knowing and understanding grace ( although in comprehensible) is trule the CURE for Pride, knowing YOU didn't do anything to deserve your status. We will Never be able to work to "make our selves worthy" but God can only do so with His undying and everlasting Mercy and Compassion which is Grace.
PLEASE WATCH THIS- ITS so simple but yet SO PROFOUND:
