    So many Orthodox Fathers have such an amazing presence. Often, you can pick up their reverence and fear of God through the screen. Father Lynch is certainly one of these wonderful priests, what a blessing it is to be able to hear him talk from across the world! Love and appreciation from Denmark 🇩🇰

    About a year ago I reached out to Fr. Zechariah, asking if he could recommend a parish where I was living. He did, so I visited on a weekday and met with the priest, who Fr. Zechariah knew from seminary; it was my first experience in an Orthodox Church. It was amazing. Coming from hyper-charismatic Evangelicalism, it was a shock - a beautiful, wonderful, awe-inspiring shock.
    Through what can only be described as divine intervention, I found myself at a Russian parish a couple weeks later as it was closer to my home. I began attending in July and was Baptized last Friday into the Orthodox Church, receiving the Holy Eucharist on Lazurus Saturday.
    I do thank God for Fr. Zechariah, he helped me begin my journey into the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
    Glory to God!

    I find this channel so useful. I grow up in an Orthodox Church in Ethiopia. As a grow older I had a lot of questions and since questions where not encouraged, I joined other faith, explored different cultures and faith but deep inside I always felt some void. When I got married and have kids I needed to decide what faith I want to teach my kids and that is when I decided to come back to orthodox. But the challenge has been finding good teachings like this channel to teach my husband and children who don’t speak Amarich. Thank you for this!

I won’t retype the whole message here cuz it was a long one but I just want to say this. Thank you for this video. It really resonated with me and experiences I have going on in my life right now.

    @28:50 Challenging one's ego so that it is not about what we like or dislike? I came to that conclusion three and a half years ago. A corollary of that conclusion is that people would sooner eat broken glass than conceding to do something that they do not like with someone whom they “love”, like going to a concert of classical music.

    There are different perspectives. Here, in Eastern Europe, we have a different view of the Orthodox Church - strong national-ethnic ties, entanglement in politics, communist apparatus, cooperation of clergy with the political police, denunciations, currently support for Putin's policy, support for military aggression, alliance of throne and altar, caesaropapism level high... Not only the beauty/correctness of worship is important - "you will recognize them by their fruits..."

    • @mihretabraham990
      @mihretabraham990 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Dear brother/sister in Christ. To enlighten your mind please see my response below:
      1. No one is closer to our savior Jesus Christ more than his Holy mother, the Virgin Mary. She is the pure vessel and is virgin before and after giving birth.
      2. No one is worthy than her to intercede for us. She knows her son more than anyone else. He lived with her for 30 years before starting his teaching.
      3. She is the pillar of our faith. So if you don't ask for her intercession, you are missing out of her blessing.
      4. She is the mother of all generations, Luke 1:46-56.
      5. Please read John 2:1-11, wedding at Cana Galilee which clearly shows whatever she asks for us, Christ will give us according to his plan. At the wedding the groom didn't ask her for wine but she knew that they ran out of wine and asked her son, and he responded to her intercession in a profound way.
      6. Christ while he was on the cross, he cared for his loving mother who was grieving while looking at her son going through excruciating agony and pain for our salvation. So, he gave her to his beloved disciple, John.
      7. She had played a great role for our salvation. So who would be praised more than her after God.
      8. She is very humble, unlike Eve, the Holy Virgin Mary called herself maidservant but Eve ate the fruit to be like God which made them to get kicked out of Garden Eden.
      My beloved friend, please read Orthodox books about her. She is so sweet and very loving. She knows our challenges and asks her son before we ask him. She is the only human being who defied any form of sin as the Holy Spirit guarded her, she had a free will like all of us, but remained pure and holy and was found worthy to bear God on womb. The heavens and earth can not hold him but the Holy Virgin Mary carried him on her womb for 9 months. How beautiful is this !!!
      Oh, I wish I could say more about her!!!! But the books in the world won't be enough to write about her. I would also recommend you read the book of Revelation, St. John talks about her in a mystical way.
      May she open your mind.
      Sisterly love from Eritrean and Ethiopian Orthodox Christian believer.

      You fell to the typical Protestant slur that is result of their ignorance of the ancient Christianity. St. Paul, for example, has no problem with saving people (verses below). We all know that he can't save anybody on his own, but he is a God's vessel, used by God to perform Church's work on earth on His behalf. Through Grace of God, Saints are our helpers, like those 4 men who carried paralyzed man through the roof before lowering him in front of the Lord (Mark 2,3-11).
      (Rom 11,13) For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if by any means I MAY provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and SAVE SOME OF THEM.
      (1 Corinthians 9,22) to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, THAT I MIGHT by all means SAVE SOME.

      Some Bishops bent this Canon in the 20th Century so that the Orthodox could look more like Protestants and Roman Catholics.
