ХРИСТИЯНСТВО БЕЗ ІЛЮЗІЙ: правда, яку не люблять чути | Андрій Мартинов, пастор | 05.06.2026

🔥 This sermon is about the power of knowing Jesus Christ crucified, living under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and true, not “lite” Christianity. The true power of a Christian comes when a person stops relying on himself, deeply realizes the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and allows the Holy Spirit to guide his life. 📌 Main theses of the sermon: 1) The greatness of God through contemplation of creation. The preacher shares his experiences after a trip to South Korea and a flight above the earth. Through the beauty of the world, the scale of the universe, and the development of the country, he emphasizes the greatness and power of God. 2) The impact of Christianity on society. The example of South Korea shows how faith in Jesus Christ and Christian values ​​can change a people, culture, order, and people’s attitudes toward each other. 3) The main power of a Christian is not human wisdom, but the Spirit of God. The central text is 1 Corinthians 2. The Apostle Paul emphasizes that preaching should not be in “wisdom of words,” but in the manifestation of the Spirit and power of God. 4) What it means to “know Jesus Christ crucified.” This is not simply knowing the fact of the crucifixion, but: being obedient to God; doing His will; trusting God even in suffering; remembering the price of Calvary. 5) A call to complete obedience to God. The preacher speaks of “complete surrender” to God—recognition of one’s own weakness and dependence on the Lord. 6) Christianity is a struggle, not comfort. Much of the sermon is devoted to the theme of trials: a Christian should not seek only comfort; difficulties purify and strengthen; insults, denunciations, and difficulties are part of spiritual growth. 7) The danger of superficial “comfortable” Christianity. The preacher criticizes sermons and approaches that make faith too easy and comfortable, without repentance, struggle and dedication. 8) Remembering the sacrifice of Jesus. Special emphasis is placed not only on the resurrection of Christ, but also on His suffering and crucifixion as a source of strength, gratitude and loyalty to God. 📌 Main fragments 0:01:20 — Testimony about a trip to South Korea and time for reflection 0:02:40 — Description of the beauty of the earth from a flight height and awareness of the greatness of creation 0:04:00 — Reflections on the scale of the universe and the smallness of our planet 0:05:20 — Impressions of the development of infrastructure and order in Korea 0:06:50 — Observation of cleanliness, technology and organization of society 0:08:10 — Visiting a large church and the power of communal worship 0:09:30 — Awareness of the transience of earthly beauty and the eternal value of God 0:10:50 — Comparison of the spiritual state of different countries and the role of faith in society 0:12:10 — Call to read 1 Corinthians 2 and the main theme of the sermon 0:13:30 — Paul: not the wisdom of words, but Jesus Christ crucified 0:14:50 — The power of preaching is not in human wisdom, but in the Spirit of God 0:16:10 — It is necessary to know the depth of Jesus Christ crucified 0:17:40 — Christian life as a path of trials and spiritual struggle 0:19:10 — The memory of Christ's sacrifice as a source of strength and true faith ► Thank you for watching and subscribing! ► Church YouTube channel:    / cerkovblagodatkiev   ► We are on Facebook:   / blagodat.ua   ► Website: http://www.blagodat.ua ► Instagram of the church "Blagodat":   / blagodat_ua   ► Instagram of the youth of the church "Blagodat":   / grace_gnr   Our address: Ukraine, Kyiv, Sofiivska Borshchahivka, st.
