To Ascend or Not To Ascend

A Sunday Homily

On this Sunday of St. John Climacus, we are invited to focus on our goal of being like Christ. The challenge of climbing the Ladder to Christ includes transforming our focus on Christ and becoming like Christ so that we will be at home in Christ forever.

Our deacon candidate, Sylvester Nease, offers today’s homily.

Fr. Barnabas Powell is the parish priest at Sts. Raphael, Nicholas, and Irene Greek Orthodox Church in Cumming, GA.
