Having a Teachable Spirit

from St Mark Sermons Hosted by St Mark Coptic Orthodox Church

Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the story of the man born blind healed by Jesus, highlighting the contrast between the blind man's faith and the Pharisees' rejection of the miracle. He discusses the importance of having a teachable spirit—being open to new understanding, willing to learn from any source, yielding to reason, and applying truth honestly in one’s life. Fr. Matthias emphasizes the value of humility, accountability, and the readiness to change as key traits of those with a teachable heart. Using biblical examples like Pope Demetrius and St. Peter, he shows how openness to learning fosters spiritual growth, strengthens relationships, and sustains hope for transformation. The sermon calls believers to embrace a disciple’s mindset, continuously seeking wisdom and correction to deepen their faith journey.
