Autumn in L'viv (and first sermon at Osanna Church)

Well, today was kind of an interesting day. It was my first time preaching at Osanna church, which we now regularly attend in L'viv. Our pastor, Dima, has asked me in church last week if I can preach , and I thought - why not!?:-)

And it turned out really well. I spoke on something the Lord has been putting on my heart for a while, and it is based on the verse from Colossians 2:16-17, that "REALITY IS FOUND IN CHRIST"... Never thought that preaching can be so easy, but again I know that it was a fruit of many people praying for me and mighty work of the Holy Spirit. It was a true blessing to have people come to me after the service saying that it w

as important for them to hear what was said in the sermon. Here's the picture:

Right after the service me and Katya went for a short stroll down the center of L'viv (it was a pleasant sunny autumn day), where we've also taken couple of pictures. We've enjoyed the walk very much and it was a great time to think about, what God has been opening thought the Sunday service and what it means to us. Meanwhile, we were eating cheeseburgers and playing with pigeons...:-) The pictures follow:

I apologize for so many personal details, but just wanted to share with you a bit of how it feels like to live in L'viv and enjoy this beautiful weather, and through all this - God's creation.

P.S. By the way the UNDIVIDED concert that we did visit last Thursday, was really cool. It was indeed a bit contemporary jazz (as for both of our tastes, especially Katya), but we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. A short video of it will follow later. Stay TUNED!!:-)
