Listen "10.19.25 • Excavating the Heart with Peter of Damascus • Romans 5:1-5"
Episode Synopsis
In this sermon we continue our series allowing some of the voices from the Philokalia to help us hear the gospel. Today we look at some verses from the book of Romans alongside some words from Peter of Damascus. The sermon is on patience and hope, but we talk a lot about how music can teach us these things. A song by Olivier Messiaen serves as a refrain throughout the sermon such that we not only think about patience but are forced to experience a time of waiting through listening. A long quote by Jeremy Begbie is very helpful. Simone Weil helps us tie it to prayer. A summary really does not do this one justice. It was fun to prepare and give. May we encounter the crucified Christ raised from the dead in these words.
