Sunday Sermons. Part 1

The sermons of Dimitri Smirnov are atypical Christian literature. They stand out in that one can find concrete answers to concrete life questions within them. Very often, when reading the Bible or the Gospel, people do not know how to apply the truths contained therein to everyday life. Dimitri Smirnov attempts in his own way to connect eternal postulates with simple situations encountered at every turn. His extensive pastoral experience and innate eloquence allow him to present his thoughts in an engaging manner, and those thoughts in turn can help find solutions in various everyday matters.
Dimitri Smirnov's sermons are not without humor, and therefore are easy to listen to. The priest expresses certain points with excessive categorical certainty, but this can be attributed to his particular manner of delivery. The priest's opinion is not indisputable, but rather prompts reflection and invites one to view a situation from the angle he proposes. As the rector of a large Moscow church, Dimitri Smirnov speaks as an authoritative priest whose words may be interesting and useful both for those new to the faith and for those already established in church life.
