2025-03-09 Sermon: The Triumph of TRUTH

Описание: Father Mark Leondis' sermon proclaims the triumph of Orthodoxy as a living encounter with Christ, emphasizing faithfulness to tradition and the call to “Come and see.” It challenges believers to stand firm against modern secularism, deepen their faith, and boldly witness Christ in their lives.

The sermon commemorates the Sunday of Orthodoxy, celebrating the triumph of true faith and the vindication of holy icons. It emphasizes that Orthodoxy is not merely an intellectual concept but a personal encounter with the living Christ through the Church's traditions, icons, sacraments, and unbroken lineage. Drawing from the Gospel reading of Philip and Nathaniel, the sermon highlights the invitation to "come and see" the faith firsthand, moving beyond doubt to a personal confession of Christ as the Son of God.

The sermon calls on believers to actively live out the triumph of Orthodoxy in their daily lives. This involves deepening their faith through learning and scripture study, venerating Christ through their actions and choices, and becoming living "icons" by boldly proclaiming the faith and inviting others to encounter Christ. It also involves standing firm against modern challenges, such as secularism and relativism. Just as the restoration of icons was a victory for Christ's presence, today's faithful are urged to embody that presence and invite others into the living reality of the Orthodox Christian faith.
