About this sermon

In this reflection, Father Josiah Trenham speaks on the Gospel of Matthew 18:23–35, warning against the “damnable gap” that forms when we receive God’s mercy but refuse to show mercy to others. Drawing on the parable of the unforgiving servant and the example of St. Dionysius of Zakynthos, Father Josiah exhorts us to let God’s grace shape our relationships and daily life. 🎟️ Get tickets now for our Marriage Conference: 👉 https://www.themarriageconference.com/ 📲 Access More Orthodox Content: *Patristic Nectar App* App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/patristic-nectar/id6502949324 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=patristic+nectar+app&c=apps Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VKxdB2ZCzk8evUA4V7tku?si=b679feac4ab34d63 🙏 Support Our Ministry: Donate: Text PNP to 53555 (tax-deductible) *Merchandise:* https://patristic-nectar.mybigcommerce.com #OrthodoxChristianity #ChurchFathers #ChristianFaith #SpiritualGrowth #FaithAndWorks #Theology #EasternOrthodoxy #Catechesis #ChristianTradition #GospelTruth #ChristianDoctrine #OrthodoxTeaching #DivineWisdom #ChristianLiving #FatherJosiahTrenham #PatristicNectar
