This video popped up in my recommendation. I felt tempted to scroll by, almost resentful, thinking “Why is God ruining my free time after such a busy day?!” But that thought felt so evil. I scrolled by… but then I scrolled back up. And after watching, I remember how these videos feel so peaceful and loving, not like fire and brimstone, but a warm bath. No better way to relax after a busy day than with this medicine. Thank you Metropolitan Demetrius. Thanks be to God! ☦️
God bless you!
I almost scrolled past this, fearful and resentful but i stayed to listen. Your sermon did not elicit fear like the hellfire and brimstone sermons of the Baptist Churches I attended as a child. I currently suffer from unbelief and an unwilling spirit that the Lord in His mercy showed me while praying last year. I want to trust to be willing but at the same time I'm afraid to do so. Please pray for me and other struggling with the same problem.
May God help you attain your salvation. God bless you!
Been tormented most of my life, I love God keep going, can’t do anything without Him. While everyone else is getting blessed.
Every mistake I make Is severe loss and suffering.
You must be blessed! Your sadness will turn into joy!
This is so beautiful and a bit of a “culture shock.” coming from a Protestant background, I was used to passion and emotion, ego to be honest but In my nascent understanding of orthodoxy; the serenity coming from this man was illuminating. I don’t know if it’s a common thing, but sitting on the “side” during the sermon is so refreshing, humbly saying “we’re here to worship.” Thank you so much for this, God bless y’all and your willingness to serve.
God bless you and continue to illuminate you. There are many more sermons -- please feel free to watch!
May God preserve our Metropolitan by the prayers of Panagia and the Holy GreatMartyr Demetrius.
Amen!
Bless, Metropolitan Demetrius.
I feel so heartened and edified when I hear the words you share with us. The truth penetrates the heart and soul so completely and sweetly.
Thank you.

Your words concerning how our life passes away and all we are left with is our deeds was particularly poignant. I certainly need to keep that in mind and not waste my time so much.
While the gulf that separated Lazarus and the rich man cannot he traversed, I pray the schism that rends us would be mended as the heresies are brought to naught by the power of the Holy Spirit.
O Lord, unite all Orthodox Christians into Thy One Church.
Lord Jesus Christ, please forgive me!
Amen.
@@OrthodoxTradition I don't want to live for myself and my passions, especially fear and pride that have found deep roots in my heart... I want to live for Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray for my wretched soul so that I may obtain true phronema in our Lord Jesus Christ. I've abused my time in this life, seeking momentary pleasures and patches for pain in my heart and not laid up true treasures by way of the virtues. I have only just started my life in repentance. God be merciful to me, the worst of sinners. Your Will, not my own... ☦️
Amen.
☦️☦️☦️
Glory to God!

Is there a playlist of every sermon Metropolitan Demet has given..

are personality disorders like narcissism for example a form of ancestral sin? Would baptism take them away?
Every type of sickness is a result of the fall. This is why the Church is considered a Holy Hospital. Healing is found when we recognize our sickness, repent, and seek healing.
Baptism does not make us perfect. It is what is needed to regain healing, which comes also with a personal struggle. May God heal us all.
May God help us be away from pride make choices even when life is difficult. Never judge Stop OCD mental illness alcoholic fear .trust Jesus ..I'm widow. true love... Homeless accept cross. For all who profit by gospel false prophets doctors. " Own little world's". Mike Seroka lost farm.. no self love . Gratitude for his ride to dentist.. Doug Frye ex fiancee died in snow blizzard. Rip and myself Tenacity sobriety mark husband deceased husband.. God help him I'm homeless betrayed. I forgive him .. no appetite. Try to eat something ..
We know people send themselves to hell . Let's not be one of them .
