St. Innocent Orthodox Church
United States
Registrace 9. 04. 2013
At St. Innocent Orthodox Church, we seek to make Jesus Christ and His Gospel the center of everything we do, glorifying God in the beauty of our worship and carefully preserving the faith practices of the Early Church, which was born at Pentecost. We press toward the goal of becoming more like our Lord and Savior, desiring to love and care for one another and for those in the wider community. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, we pray that our parish would become a life-giving spring of the Orthodox Christian faith for the people of Middle Georgia.

What is love? Is it willing the well-being of oneself and the well-being of others? The former is self love. The latter is loving one's neighbors as oneself. Well-being is living well. The hedonists think well-being is pleasure. But not all pleasurable things are beneficial or add to one's well-being, health, or life. Some pleasurable things are detrimental or take from one's well-being, health, or life. Not all that glitters is gold. There's something called fool's gold. Not all pleasurable things are good. Prudence with the helpmate of temperance tells us to forgo pleasure when it isn't good. What is beneficial or good for oneself, might be detrimental or bad for others, so not all that is good for oneself is right or just. Sometimes loving oneself is unloving or unjust to others. Sometimes justice requires or places duties on us to forgo not only our own pleasures but our own good if they are unjust towards others. It doesn't seem naturally possible to voluntarily and freely love others when it is detrimental to our own well-being. Justice might make us do it out of duty. We chose to do it out of a sense of justice or duty, but we don't freely love doing it if we have to sacrifice to do it. We sacrifice for our children, but they are an extension of our lives or well-being. We might sacrifice for other family or friends when justice doesn't require it as a favor, but we might ask them to return the favor to us someday. When we do owe strangers or our neighbors something as duty or justice requires, we don't love paying them back. Yet, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus speaks of loving those who can't return the favor, giving charity with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing (not counting the cost, not assessing the benefit/cost ratio, not expecting a return someday), even loving one's enemies by forgiving them and praying for them (well-wishing), turning the other cheek, and going the extra mile. We can try to do these sacrifices because Jesus told us to do them, ie, out of a sense of duty, but that's not love, unless you love to do what you sense is your duty, or if you love to do what Jesus tells you to do. A sacrifice done out of love seems to require generosity of heart. It's easier to be generous to one's own children, family and friends than it is to be generous to neighbors, strangers, and enemies. The beloved disciple said that love consists in this, that God loved us first. Appreciating or being grateful for God's loving generous grace first given to us makes it easier to be graciously generous in a loving way to others. Grace begets grace. Generosity begets generosity. Love begets love. Or, these good things should beget or lead to more good things in kind. The servant who was graciously forgiven the enormous debt impossible to repay, should have shown a little grace by forgiving his fellow servant for his little debt. I don't think we fully appreciate how much God has already given to bring the universe and ourselves into existence, to give us life. He sacrificed his Son to do so. He was the Lamb Sacrifice slain at the foundation of the world. Slain on the Cross, he forgave our lack of gratitude which is the root of all sin against God. Jesus said he came to give life, not just meager life, but abundant life. He can give us this abundant life which is eternal well-being if we are faithful and grateful (eucharist) to him for his sacrificial love. The faithful and the grateful will be sustained by his Spiritual flesh and Spiritual blood for eternity. What is love? Seeking one's own good or well-being comes naturally, though sometimes we are imprudent and choose what is bad or choose lesser goods. Sacrificially loving intimate family members and close friends is an easier way of loving your neighbor as yourself than loving strangers and enemies. The former comes more naturally than the latter. It's the supernatural love of God that makes it possible to love the latter. After all, God loved us first when we were estranged from him. God has made it easier for us to love him by he first loving us. God has made it easier for us to love him we do not see by we loving one another we do see as his Son loved us. God's generosity is an overlooked motive for us which we underappreciate, though Jesus taught it in the Sermon on the Mount and he exemplified in his life and with his death and resurrection.

The sound is weak and hard to understand.
to not fast is not a sin, but it helps with sin since it a person can not do a simple thing like fast then how can they avoid sin. People should try to fast from sin and other bad things that also hurt the body which is a temple like sugar, junk food, etc. The purpose of the fast was from ancient Greek to help take care of nature show love to it and to others to let nature grow to have the olive tree produce fruit, so the animals to multiply, to help the body heal and lose weight from the winter. Etc. Their is a purpose. Which is why St Basil and the other saints with him agreed that said Hellenism is the capital of Orthodoxy, and why the Former Greece Archbishop Christodoulos said the Old Testament has nothing to do with Orthodoxy which is Hellenism. Since we can not make heaven on earth when you let so many brethren be misguided with false info.
Thank you for broadcasting these services. Can you post the links to the text of the Canon and Great Compline? Thank you
God bless you all.
Thanks for sharing the blessing of remembering those who have gone before us. May our upcoming union in God's Holy Loving Presence be an eternally joyous one.
Thank you!
I only trust God, I tend to mistrust most people.
Is there a link to the complete talk please?

Metanoia - Mittaa noian - measuring of the witch or vizard
I see the parable as how the church gets money yet does not use it as much effectively or given to the patriarch to give it to non orthodox countries as a payment to stay open. one church said they had to get at least 1/2 a million to just stay open. Church can invest in bonds, investment properties, land and just hold and without using them tax free and the value of the property goes up. Instead of the church giving people money to help like the anti Christian religions do, Christians have to pay.
I just hope you will not support russian propaganda that is in the Russian Orthodox Church. God bless you
They are every day. Mostly in the middle east and africa.
IMHO it's not a matter of if but when continuously.☦🙏

theologian, historian, professor, Fr George Metallenos Of the school of Athens mentions in his book "Pagan Hellenism or Greek Orthodoxy?" "That Christianity is a spiritual continuation of Hellenism, in almost everything (terminology, symbols, ritual, etc.) and the Hebrew alleloujah is (both literally and etymologically) the sequence from Zeus to Jesus" "The ancient Greeks were not pagans. They did not worship idols, but personified ideas and values, to which, in fact, they had given a high spiritual and ideological content. In fact, they were not, as Xenophanes the Colophonius first put it (in God... magnum), nor polytheists. ... The so-called gods of Olympus were believed to be all children of the one and only god, Zeus, and constituted a kind of numerous Holy Family or eleven (+1) Saints. On the contrary, Christians have at times, wrongly of course, been considered pagans, because of the worship of images."
Again, another comment that has nothing to do with the sermon.
Thank you, for your service🙏🏻
Love from India 🇮🇳
God bless you to all Amen 🙏⛪🕯️
My father health is not good please Prayer 🙏⛪🕯️
Amen, it always seems like when i am trying to get better with Jesus and God, something always tries to distract me.
Apostle Paul says: "Take also the Greek Bibles, know the Sibyl, who declares one God and the future, and you will find our Lord Jesus Christ written more clearly. » As stated by church father Clement of Alexandria, in his work "Stromateis"
Trench, it seems like every comment you make is about Greekness. I am not sure how your above comment relates to the content of the sermon.
God bless you Father
You have errors in the sermon based on what Orthodox expert say theologian, historian, professor, Fr George Metallenos Of the school of Athens (experts that teach priests to be priests) mentions in his book "Pagan Hellenism or Greek Orthodoxy?" "That Christianity is a spiritual continuation of Hellenism, in almost everything (terminology, symbols, ritual, etc.) and the Hebrew alleloujah is (both literally and etymologically) the sequence from Zeus to Jesus" "The ancient Greeks were not pagans. They did not worship idols, but personified ideas and values, to which, in fact, they had given a high spiritual and ideological content." "The so-called gods of Olympus were believed to be all children of the one and only god, Zeus, and constituted a kind of numerous Holy Family or eleven (+1) Saints. On the contrary, Christians have at times, wrongly of course, been considered pagans, because of the worship of images." If one wants to know the faith better they must read his writing and video which states it but a lot is restricted in the west due to ecumenism to alter things to merge with other religion. As another Monk / Fr. Moses says to say alleloujah is the antithesis of Orthodoxy since it does not praise god when you have it in another language when the name is cut off which means completely different and one has to be consistent and say it in 5the language of the liturty as well to not make it into a clown show. If you still refer to Greeks on animal sacrifice its no different to saying grace before eating meat and if anything its more barbaric now that so many Orthodox waste food since back then the animal sacrifice was to say grace and make a prair and left the bones an fat to help to lighting the flame of the Temple. Everything Christ said was nothing new to the Greeks which is why Christ said DO NOT go to the Greeks since as St. Justinian said they were Christians before Christ since the temple of Poseidon for example is no different to the temple of St. Nicolas both guardians of the sea which are both venerated. the 12 Gods did not have the same meaning as it does not in what the word means God. but meant to learn to think, to see, to understand to think which was an all encompassing for of God as entomology of the world presents. Which is why Theater forms form the Greek words THEATRO which it THEA God/Goddess & TRO to eat or absorb information. Which is also why the Bible talks about the Greek unknow God temple since their was no name of any Olympian which shows it was not about them, and that they were waiting for Christ which the Greek Samarian states she was waiting for the one. Which is why the early church has icons of Ancient Greek wise men and others that help tghe foundation of the church like Socrates, Plato, Alexander the Great (which is also considered a demi God in ancient Greek Mythology, Syble which no priest knows anything about despite Apostle Paul said In the world of Stromata which anyone can read it "Clement of Alexandria, in his work "Stromateis", "the Apostle Paul says: "Take also the Greek Bibles, know the Sibyl, who declares one God and the future, and you will find our Lord Jesus Christ written more clearly."" for people to read what she said yet the VAST MANKROTY of Christians and priests know nothing of what Paul says which St. Nectario found it disappointing how most are to know know and whenever he highlighted certain things he was attacked by his own church and how he became a saint due to the Orthodox Church hostile treatment to truth. So who is Sibyl Timburtina? what did she say "a Greek will arise from the Jewish country named Mary and we will give birth to a son and we will call his name Jesus" St, "Constantine the Great, after recording that Sibyl eritrea was born in the sixth generation after the flood of Noah, accepts that the mantis prophesied to those who needed her "with the help of the god Apollo" As the saint says. Greek Sage Thales 600bc "Love your fellow human even if this means hurting yourself" Socrates - "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance." Heraclitus-"wisdom is the greatest virtue, and wisdom is to tell the truth and act according to nature, listening to it." "Matthew 7:16 By their fruit you will recognize them" Russian Orthodox Fr. Florovsky "Everything in early Christianity is Greek. We are all Greeks in our thinking as Christians." Serbian University Theology Dep "The Christian “reception” of Hellenism is the reason, important at least as much as it is neglected, of our essential interest for Hellenic culture, which (in distinction to other cultures" Yet the Church now does not listen to them or to Christ which even Christ says do not remarry and anyone that remarried a divorced person also commits adultery as one of many examples as if the church is implying that Christ didnt know the future or know best how people are and that the church/Christ changed for the will of the people flavor of the day.
What in the world are you talking about? You know that greek mythology is considered mythology right? Even the greeks at the time admitted its mythology. To compare an hitorical figure like Jesus to a mythological god zeus is laughable. Jesus was translated from the greek word lesous. Zeus and Jesus are nothing the same in meaning etymology or teaching. There might be vague similarities but so what? Greek gods are mythological, theres no evidence of them being historically reliable like Jesus
