Christ Is Not the Cause of Your Fall (Sermon)

Details: By Metropolitan Demetrius of America; Created on Friday, 16 February 2024 21:43

Saint Simeon the God-receiver says Christ is set for the rise and fall of many, that the thoughts of many hearts would be revealed. The same thing applies to the Saints of God who are Servants of God and their dealings with people. Those who reject the Saints reject Christ. Their relationship with holy people is a reflection of their relationship with God.

Sermon delivered by His Eminence Metropolitan Demetrius of America on the Meeting of Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ, 2024.
