THE GATE IS NARROW, FEW WILL ENTER

Jesus warns us that few will enter the Kingdom of God. How then must we change the way we are living?

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. Have mercy on me a Sinner.

[Zuzal]

I've been 20 years a pagan, and in my search for Christ when I hear these words, I weep.

I go to an Orthodox Mission this Sunday and humble myself before Jesus and the Cross.

[My-rb]

Lord Christ Jesus, please have mercy on me, a terrible sinner. Amen.

[procodeal]

Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner

Father Spyridon tells it the way it is. The people that know of his channel are very fortunate.

I’ll be honest. I’ve only recently been learning about Orthodoxy the past 6 months or so. I’ve started reading The Orthodox Way and have gotten an Orthodox study Bible too. I’ve watched a few of your videos and have found some great wisdom from them, so thank you for that.

I am still attending my non-denominational church along with my wife and kids but I have also gone to some vespers services at a local Orthodox Church. I’m wrestling with a lot of things and the topic of this video is one of them. Ultimately my hope is to be amongst one of the few. However, I understand the reality that I could deceive myself or be deceived and not enter into the Kingdom. And if I don’t end up in the Kingdom, then I will at the very least be one of the many weeping in Hell.

I ask for anyone reading this to pray for both me and my family. I will continue to learn more about Orthodoxy and attend more services/liturgies. As I’ve come to find out I continue to learn more about the faith from actually participating in the vespers services.

May the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have mercy on us all.

He always takes me down a peg when I get to feeling a little too "righteous"
I love it.

"they've all become little popes" wow that hit the mark, very true

The birds and other animals in the background are perfect for these talks

[Stsebastian]

Pray for me brothers that I persevere in Christ as we participate in the Apostles fast. Amen.

I thank God for the internet. A Roman Catholic from Kenya who consistently listens to your wisdom. Thank you. You build me in a great way. ✝️

[blacknyello]

You’re literally one of the best teachers on YouTube thank you for your content

[addisuberihun]

Lord Jesus Chrsit, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.

My Orthodox faith is my true joy, and my treasure chest, the light of my life. Everyday, I discover a brighter jewel than the one before, from church, reading the Bible, and from listening to everything Orthodox from Devote people like you, Fr. Spyridon. May God bless and keep you and all you’re doing, in His loving care ☦️❤️🕊🦚

Please pray for my husband, our two kids, and me. We are on the Orthodox journey. After many years in a myriad of Protestant churches, we decided to become Catechumens, but sometimes there is still fear and confusion. We have a great priest teaching us, though. I struggle with the Protestant themes of praying to saints being wrong, even though I grew up Catholic. Also the prosperity gospel can still be a thing with some Orthodox believers. I'm not sure what we need, but prayers are appreciated. My family also needs salvation. God bless you all. Thank you, Father, for the wake-up call preaching. We don't know when we will die.

[weylguy]

Father Spyridon's talk perfectly encapsulates the reasons I left Protestantism and crossed over to the Orthodox faith.

[franki]

Love this doesn't even take money for his of fresh air then the televangelist and prosperity preachers....

[odettewilson]

IDear Fr. Spyridon The devil loves to "divide and conquer" through spiritual pride. We must not forget the pharisees were blinded by their ancient traditions and customs and believed they were the only ones worthy of God. The generosity of God is Love without boundaries. Let's humbly embrace and accept all our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ will not turn anyone away from the Kingdom of God who are truly seeking Him, regardless of their denomination!!!!

[andrehaave]

Thank you Lord Jesus! Hallelujah! I need you more than ever and I trust you although I have been walking among unbelievers in society where materialism distracts me away from you and your new KINGDOM. Forgive me Lord Jesus! I am here alone in Mother Nature where I hope that you will meet me. ❤️ I am here to do your will Lord: to aid those around me who feel isolated and all our brothers and sisters in the developing world. ❤️

I struggle with judging other people and worrying about what they think and sometimes I let my feelings tell me what people are thinking or saying to me. I feel tempted to be angry and hurt by people even when I don't know what they're thinking. Through this fast week I have been trying very hard to focus on Christ and not let my feelings get in the way of treating others the way Christ would want me to. Hopefully I can break this habit and be less judgement of the people I care about.
