Christ the Lord, the Cornerstone (Acts 4,11) and Foundation (1 Corinthians 3,11) of our Faith, our salvation, our theology and our Church, came down to earth, and bestowed His divine knowledge upon fallen humanity. Furthermore, by virtue of his coming into this world, He also bestowed upon us the most precious gift of all – namely, His very Self.

CHRISTMAS SERMON 2019
CHRIST THE PEACE OF GOD IS BORN!
„Christ is born, glorify Him;
Christ has come from heaven, greet Him;
Christ is on earth, exalt yourselves ..“
(Irmos of the First Ode).

Bishop Artemije: „Fainthearted Champions of Orthodoxy “
“No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).
Amongst its other meanings, the aforementioned declaration of Our Lord tells us that if a person wishes to be saved but simultaneously accepts the very things he must reject for the sake of his salvation, then this person cannot actually be saved at all, because he hinders his own journey towards the Kingdom of God.
