Comments on: Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. What defines the ministry of the Apostles? The life of the Apostles and the church is built upon the bedrock of the confession of faith. http://orthodox.net/redeemingthetime/2011/07/11/holy-apostles-peter-and-paul-what-defines-the-ministry-of-the-apostles-the-life-of-the-apostles-and-the-church-is-built-upon-the-bedrock-of-the-confession-of-faith/ McKinney TX Homilies, scripture commentary, spiritual reflections Tue, 21 May 2013 19:41:23 +0000 hourly 1 By: helen http://orthodox.net/redeemingthetime/2011/07/11/holy-apostles-peter-and-paul-what-defines-the-ministry-of-the-apostles-the-life-of-the-apostles-and-the-church-is-built-upon-the-bedrock-of-the-confession-of-faith/comment-page-1/#comment-16417 helen Tue, 12 Jul 2011 19:25:15 +0000 http://orthodox.net/redeemingthetime/?p=3594#comment-16417 I also love this sermon.  "To know Who He is"   Thanks for reminding us of this important truth, that we must know Who God is, and over and over the church services keep teaching us about our Lord Jesus. So the more we read Scriptures and holy things and the more we pray private prayers and Church services, then the more deeply we learn of Him and more we become immersed in His agape; so the easier it becomes to tackle life's problems.
