“Have you thought you might go to Hell?”
Only every millisecond I exist. I pray hoping Jesus will find some meager worth in my sinful soul and tiny existence.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
May God save us all.
Keep thy mind in hell but don’t despair.
I have thought about the possibility of maybe going to hell. It's incredibly sobering. I have a lot of weaknesses, and it terrifies me. Glory be to God that He shows us the way into heaven. May all of us arrive in heaven, through the grace and sanctification of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
May God save us all.
Oh Lord, save thy People and Bless thine Inhearitance!
Amen.
❤✌⛪🙏☦GOD BE WITH US IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST EVIL ☦🙏🕊🌟💪
Amen!
🙏
In my weakness I come before God with a repentant heart. My pride is my sickness which I beg God to forgive and to heal. Amen.
May God save us all.
Than you Father🌺🥰🙏😭😭Never in my life have I heard great wisdom, I have been so brainwashed In Protestant Bible studies yet born Orthodoxy, I searched for God since I was a little girl, but grew up under attack my entire life by evil ones.
Help me Lord forgive me teach me and lead me into everlasting life.
Help me endure and please heal my trauma
Glory to God!
May God deliver us from hell fire!
Amen!
How do Christians work in this world and not get torn to pieces by the systems, from the lowest job to the highest we are harassed beyond measure to make enough money to pay our way, and in order to do so we are forced to agree with things that we absolutely do not agree with. To get a job anywhere I am forced to give up my passion for Christ and feed a doctrine of evil in order to simply be accepted so I can be allowed to climb the horrible ladder down. How do we work in today's systems?
“Salvation is found in our brethren…depending on how we deal with them. I choose to forgive simply because the reward is extraordinary: peace of mind! I pray that I too am forgiven. Glory to God for all things! Thank you your eminence 🙏☦️
God forgive us all.
I pray Lord helps Us All to prepare for Lent.❤
Amen.
Thank you, your Eminence.
God bless you.
🕊🙏🏼❤️ Beautiful blessed words to help us!!! Thanks be to God! Good strength to all! 🕊🙏🏼❤️
God bless you and lead you to the True Church.
I’m 14 and I originally went to a rcc but I’m more interested in orthodoxy. Please pray that my mom takes me to a Eastern Orthodox church
It’s been more than 3 months. Rcc has heresy’s and things that were changed. I want to be closer to God in the true church
@@Omar12831 Ask God in your prayers regularly and he will deliver. Respect your mother in the meantime and speak with love to her. Eventually, you will find your way. Be patient my friend.
Hi there! I’m 15, and I also was going to become RC, but converted to the Russian Orthodox Church instead. It was the absolute best decision of my life. Although the temptations and difficulties have definitely risen, and having to explain why I fast and why I’m orthodox to my family is difficult, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I pray for you and that you continue to pursue Christ. God bless, love☦️💗
Thank you for this your Eminence. And thank you to the Monks of St. John's. May God bless all of you this Great Lent and always!
I am a wee, baby, beginner Orthodox Christian. I have so much to learn about Orthodoxy and especially Great Lent. Please keep me in your prayers as I take my first, shakey, baby steps this Great Lent!
🥰🙏🕊
God bless you.
Very true words.
God save us all.
Just excellent, Thank you ...
Thank God.
Great sermon as always ☦️
God bless you!
Thanks for the sermon
God bless you.
Again wise and instructive words we should all think about fearing 🌹Thank you through and through beautiful Demetrius🌹
God bless you!
❤️
the crushing realization of terminal pride.
God save us all.
God save us.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
Amen.
what if you've sinned too many times that it just seems like you are slapping God in the face over and over.. and you feel like just quitting grieved to know what a failure i have been to God and not even wanting to be with him and yet now, outright REJECTING HIM! just completely utter filth and useless better to have never known Jesus Christ and his teachings for now that one knows and yet goes back to the world and it's fleshly desires.... one was never saved to begin with... i believe no matter if i "preach" Christ to anyone it will do nothing and i will nevertheless ultimately still go to hell for denying him.
That is a very wrong way of thinking. You have to understand God's love. Return to him every time you may fall, and have hope. Understand that salvation is a gift from Him, and he wants to save you.
Rescue me from everything that would send me to hell father God! Help help help ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ amen i agree with this prayer in jesus name amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
God help us all.
What happens when you have repented and confessed to God but are still not forgiven by other people? Does this torment symbolize that God is also not forgiving you?
No. You did your part if you have asked for forgiveness; leave the rest to God.
Glory to God!
Amen!
I dont have an orthodox church to attend, and only found out about orthodoxy last year, ever since then ive felt so drawn to it and i want to become orthodox. Im not really sure what i should do since im not in a place where this is possible. :(
Visit the monastery! God giving you a cross!! Follow him!
Google is there any orthodox church near you. You'll be surprised. You never know, maybe 10 - 20 miles away. I travel to my church every Sunday and it's a great joy. God bless you 🙏💖🕊️
@@mrsmarple2655be careful. Very very few calling themselves “Orthodox” are actually Orthodox (that is- “right confessing”)
The Metropolitan is part of a truly right-confessing synod- HOTCA (Hellenic Orthodox Traditionalist Church in America)
God help us and preserve us!
@@Skd92g sorry, didn't understand what you mean. I belong to the Russian Orthodox Church. Why I have to be careful? The Lord is my Shepherd whom shall I fear... Lord have mercy 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖🕊️🕊️🕊️
@@mrsmarple2655 The Synod of this Metropolitan historically confesses that, what is “officially recognized” by the world as the “Russian Orthodox Church” is heretical (Sergianist/Ecumenist). Not trying to be mean I’m just stating their position, which is the Orthodox (“right confessing”) one…
God help us and guide us!!
I think about it every day but I understand that I am deserving. Recently I got deep into prayer and asked God to give all of the good things I’ve done to my two sons and wife: and I’ll take eternal hell if it will help them. I think it’s more important to make sure our kids and wife make it into heaven than worrying about ourselves: I’ve known what was right and had my chances. Now I’m paying the price with poor health. Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me, a sinner
That is very noble, but you obviously must concern yourself with your own salvation as well.
@@OrthodoxTradition I’m on the right path finally; since listening to your ministries videos. Thank you.
Beautiful. Thank you!
God bless you!
May God bless and keep our Geronda in remembrance.
Amen.
Mulțumim pentru acest cuvânt de folos duhovnicesc. Dumnezeu să vă ajute!
Bog da prosti!
Lord have mercy
Amen.
A very thoughtful and intellectual sermon. Thank you very much 🙏 amen ☦️
God bless.
I wanted to ask whether the lords commander in Joshua 5:14 was Jesus or Archangel Michael? The study bible says it is not jesus but Joshua falling on his face seems like a 1 to 1 to the burning bush moment. Thanks
It’s definitely Archangel Michael. Holy Prophet Daniel also fell down on his face when he conversed with the Archangel Gabriel.
The Archangel.
@@OrthodoxTradition thank you. ☦️
Eulogeite Pateres! Just found your channel, and the sermons are "balsamo" for our souls. Kali upoloipi sarrakosti kai Kali Anastasi!
Those who go to hell do so by their own free choice.
May God give us the willpower to do what is right.
Everyday…
May God help us.
🕊💞..🕯..☦️🙏
God bless!
Hello is a present day reality

Already there.
God deliver us.
Thank you father
Thank God.
Glory to our Lord
Glory to God.
I heard the bishop say that there is no hell, In a Greek orthodox church, which I was very surprised 🤔
If he said that, he's not Orthodox. Of course, it's possible that you misunderstood something.
@@OrthodoxTradition No, I asked my brother today and he understood the same like I did , he spoke in English.
You should find a True Orthodox Bishop.
@@OrthodoxTradition That's why I'm here, also like Mar mari the assyrian orthodox bishop
@@bladerunner6087 Mari Mari is a Nestorian heretic, avoid him at all costs. Do not be caught up in his hype. He does speak very well on some issues and people like his fiery sermons but do not be deceived.
Thank you ♥️☦.
God bless.

So does the genuine Orthodox Church believe in a literal place of fire and eternal torment separate from God ie hell? Like scripture says and the church fathers? This talk sounds very “River of Fire” by Alexander Kalimiros. I’ve heard from OCA, goarch, and Antiochians that hell is simply feeling God’s love as suffering ie hell.
Of course, Hell is a place of fire and eternal torment separate from God!
Repent and your sin will be forgiven. Pray for your loved one so that they will be saved.
Lord have mercy.
as I try to listen to this sermon I keep getting distracted...
How can I combat this?
Just keep redirecting yourself.
I think God will judge us on love.
We know God will judge us the way He knows how.
Your words bless me and help me to begin repentance.
Glory to God
