The TRANSFORMATIVE Power of METANOIA Repentance:

In this sermon, Fr. Leo reflects on the meaning of metanoia, or repentance, as it is presented in Luke 13:1-5. He explains that repentance is not simply a matter of feeling sorry for our sins, but of a complete change of heart and mind that leads us to live a new life in Christ.

Fr. Leo draws on the examples of the Galileans killed by Pilate's soldiers and the eighteen people killed when the tower in Siloam fell to show that no one is immune from God's judgment. He reminds us that we all need to repent if we want to avoid perishing.

This sermon is a powerful call to repentance that will challenge us to examine our own lives and see if we are truly living in accordance with God's will.

Key points from the sermon:

Metanoia is not simply a matter of feeling sorry for our sins but of a complete change of heart and mind that leads us to live a new life in Christ.
Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross, and we need to awaken to the knowledge that while we were yet in our sins, Jesus gave his life for us.
Metanoia is transformative and can lead us to a life of peace, joy, and freedom.
Call to action:

If you are feeling convicted by this sermon, I encourage you to take some time to reflect on your own life and see if you need to repent of anything. If so, I pray you will find the courage to turn away from sin and turn to Christ.
