On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church in Florence, South Carolina joins us today for his sermon entitled: Sinners Welcome Here! In the Parable of the Great Banquet presented in Luke 14.16-24, our Lord commands us to fill His Church with everyone who desires to be present to receive His blessings. There will be many, including our family and friends, who will reject God’s invitation with limitless excuses. We will weep for our family members and friends, but we cannot disobey God’s commandment to fill His Church.
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church Florence, South Carolina shares his sermon, “The Burden of Sin is Real.” The burden of sin can really weigh us down, but it doesn’t have to keep us from reaching Christ. Holy Confession is a blessed opportunity to unload our burden before the Altar of God. As members of the Body of Christ we assist each other bear the burden of our sins so we can reach our goal of living with God in Heaven.

On Theologically Thinking, With Thanksgiving we are encouraged to be thankful, but until we acknowledge that all our blessings are from God and for His glory, we remain focused upon our own needs rather than the needs of others. The Parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12.16-21 helps us identify the risk and danger of this greedy outlook in life. “What shall I do?” asks the rich fool? How will we thank God for our blessings this year at Thanksgiving? Will be build bigger barns or serve our neighbor?

On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church in Florence, South Caroline “offers his sermon on “The Healing Touch of God.” Ever since the creation of humanity by God, we have held a special relationship with our Creator. God granted us His touch when He created us in the Garden and He has given us His touch when He left the Church to continue His ministry on Earth. With God's healing touch miracles happen.
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church in Florence, South Carolina joins us again for his sermon entitled “An Unused Gift is a Wasted Gift.” “God has given us a wealth of gifts including the Church. These gifts have a great purpose to help others. If we refuse to use them to glorify God and keep them to ourselves, when He asks us what we have done with those gifts, we might find ourselves burning with torment like the Rich Man after we have been buried.”
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church in Florence, South Carolina joins us today for his sermon entitled “Red Rover Red Rover Send Jesus Right Over.” “When the struggles of life start holding you back, dig deep into your heart and you will discover the courage that God has planted. Then invite Him onto your team and watch the demons of life fall away leaving you free to glorify God.”
