Sustaining Spiritual Growth Beyond Lent ☦⛪ Fr Andrew's Sermon at H. A. Orthodox Church, Brisbane

"How is it that we can prepare to live this life in heaven, surrounded by the one who made us and who loves us and who wants our return?"
In this sermon, Fr Andrew gives practical insights on sustaining spiritual growth beyond the sacred seasons of Great Lent and Holy Week, teaching how we can make this heightened spiritual life into just part of who we are - including through fasting, regular attendance at church services, confession, and maintaining a disciplined prayer life. Gain inspiration on how these practices can kindle a lasting connection to the resurrection and prepare for life in heaven, surrounded by divine love and grace.
