Pentecost: Living Water for the Healing of the Nations

"Christ our God, having Ascended, has opened the gates of Paradise to mankind for the first time since the Fall of man. He forged the path for us to ascend in Him to be with Him forever. Today, on the Day of Pentecost, we are given everything we need to be with Him forever. Today God sends Himself in the Person of the Holy Spirit and He is poured into us. Today, the age of the healing of the souls of mankind and the redemption of all Creation has dawned. We have Living Water poured into us that we might be made whole again. And, this Living Water overflows out of us with the fruit and wondrous continuing ministry of Jesus Christ for the healing of all around us."

The latest sermon from St. Peter Orthodox Church is now online:

Ascending in Hope: Preparing for the Fire of Pentecost

"In this sermon for Ascensiontide, the faithful are reminded that Christ’s Ascension is not His departure from humanity but the exaltation of human nature itself, as Jesus ascends bodily to the right hand of the Father and prepares His Church for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Scripture and the teachings of St. John Chrysostom and St. Seraphim of Sarov, the sermon presents Pentecost as the fulfillment of Christ’s promise to baptize His people with the Holy Spirit and fire, establishing the Church as the living Body of Christ. Through Chrismation, every Christian experiences a personal Pentecost and is called to pursue “the acquisition of the Holy Spirit” through prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and every good work done purely for Christ’s sake. Rejecting mere moralism and worldly recognition, the sermon calls believers to live in communion with God despite misunderstanding or opposition from the world, preparing their hearts during Ascensiontide to receive the Spirit of Jesus Christ, who has overcome the world and invites His people to reign with Him in the age to come."

Matins & Mass at St. Peter Orthodox Church

The latest sermon from St. Peter Orthodox Church is now online:

The Angels were in wonder as Christ our God ascended into Heaven. They were in wonder because, in Him, humanity reentered Paradise for the first time since mankind was banished from Paradise at the fall. Can you imagine it? The Angels behold Christ in human form, enter Paradise, ascend beyond even them, and be seated on the "throne of glory," as St. Leo the Great taught. How far the Word of God went to restore us to our rightful condition and our rightful home. In Christ, we are all kept before the Father for all eternity that we may be saved and with Him, where He is, for all eternity.
