Grace Follows Temptations - Sermon by His Eminence Metropolitan Demetrius 

I needed to hear this today. Glory to God that we can hear these sermons online.

Enlightening, thank you

Lord Jesus Christ Son Of God, Have Mercy On Me A Sinner.🙏☦️❤️🇬🇷

How lucky we are to have access to these sermons. Cristos Anesti!

Your Grace, how can we avoid falling into pride as we grow in the Jesus prayer?

Wow🙏🌺🌺thank you Father🙏🥰🌺The presents of God in you is comforting, please give me your blessing. Life people loss has done a number on me

Thank you for the beautiful words on the temptations it gives me hope in dealing with this evilness not to give up

I love this sermon. Never thought about judas in that way of choosing the wrong path that maybe looked good but wasn't. That is the best example I've heard of how the devil works: presenting you with something you think is good or pleasing to you but isn't in the end. Christ is risen!

Christ is Risen! Xristos Anesti! ¡Christo Ha Resucitado! Thank you Metropolitan Demetrus, What a deep felt message to me. The grace I needed to receive, the words of grace and peace. Thank you, Fotini

Christ is risen! Holy Master bless. I thank you Despota for the teaching of humility and pride. How interesting to see how much pride we have when we think : oh, how wonderful that I confessed my sin of pride , and now I’m all set. Until someone comes and tells us how wonderful or beautiful we are. Then once again temptation of pride comes right back in. Holy Master pray for me.🙏☦️

Man, this was like medicine. Master, bless.

I will to follow Gods will…good preaching

CHRIST is Risen! ☦🙏🏻✝ ~ христос воскресе! ~ Tha CRÌOSD air Èiridh! ♥💚🕊

CHRIST HAS RISEN. I THANK YOU FOR THIS BEATIFUL SERMON our Lord Jesus Christ Son of God offers us so many suggestions to improve ourselves for our salvation we must be patient

🕊❤️

thank you, Father Demetrios. please remember the unprofitable servant, Dismas Bailey, in your prayers. i have been guided by our Holy Fathers to pray for humility, and, have been going through situations where i become ungrateful for what God, in His love and great compassion, has appointed me. this is my fault. the little trickster throws hooks out, but i am the one who takes the bait, and i am the one to blame. thank God, i hope i can continually be given the chance, at least, to pour myself out like blood and water; the blood of my struggle, and the Life-giving water of the All-Holy Spirit. good Holy Ascension to you all, thank you for your prayers and your work of Faith. love and prayers from St. John the Wonderworker in Portage, Wisconsin, and from Baraboo Wisconsin, my home-town where i live, and from me, the sinner, Dismas Bailey ❤☦❤

Thank you.☦

This is amazing. Is it in every orthodox church like this? Does the listeners become such a teaching all the time during the mass? Whou, what a treasure it is for the believers.

🙏🙏☦️☦️❤

I am a heterodox but have been desiring to convert to orthodoxy for years now. I have been trying to walk according to the orthodox Christian way. Fr. Demetrius, please pray that the Lord bless and guide me and my family into the Holy Ancient Church. Also I have been searching for a Orthodox book on the Apostolic Father's. The book I purchased turned out to be produced from Roman Catholic scholar, which has useful information in it but has a bit of a Bias towards the Pope and Roman Catholicism. Do you have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it. Christ is risen!

Christ is Risen! Master bless. Thank you for sharing this spiritual insight with us. It's edifying and inspiring for us. I understand what you mean about receiving grace after enduring a temptation. Is it also possible for some to receive a greater grace before a greater temptation...as a means of God's "shoring one up" as a means of helping us to endure a temptation that's coming. In the love of our Risen Christ, Mother Anastasia of the Sacred Hermitage of St. Paisius

Thank you.

Amen

When Christ said about Judas that it would have been better had he not been born, surely, Christ forgave him, right?

I don't agree with the "communist Russia" part. No! I think Russia is far far better place!
