Church Growth: Do Numbers Matter?

About this sermon

Father Josiah Trenham Our Newest Lecture Series: Demonology: Understanding & Winning the Spiritual Battle Click Here: https://patristicnectar.org/bookstore_220620_11222221112 The study of the Church’s demonology is a part of basic catechism and Christian instruction. The Scriptures are replete with teaching on the dark powers. Additionally, it is impossible to appreciate the magnitude of the saving deeds of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, without understanding how He, and He alone, has conquered Satan and destroyed his works. Lastly, Christians are called to fight and win in the spiritual war, and for this reason, it is essential that believers understand their enemies and their tactics. Toward this end, Father Josiah presents in these lectures in-depth studies of the Scriptures, Divine Services, and pedagogy of great saints and teachers on the subject of Satan and spiritual battle. Lecture titles include: Lecture #1 Jesus and Satan Lecture #2 Demonology in the Baptismal Rite and the Divine Liturgy Lecture #3 Gaining Mastery of Satan: The Life of St. Anthony the Great Lecture #4 How to Win the Spiritual Battle according to St. John of the Ladder Lecture #5 Engaging the Unseen Warfare: Fr. Lorenzo Scupoli and St. Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain Lecture #6 C. S.
