”We Know What We Worship”

In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad reflects on the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman, highlighting the significance of worshiping with true knowledge. He explains how the Samaritans’ mixed faith contrasts with the Jewish faith that leads to Christianity, emphasizing the importance of knowing God through scripture. Fr. Matthias outlines key truths Christians know about their origin, nature, God, purpose, and future. He contrasts this with the confusion in the modern world, where many worship without understanding or hold subjective beliefs. The sermon discusses baptism as a restoration to original divine nature and encourages living with purpose rooted in God's commandments. Fr. Matthias calls believers to align their lives with the revealed truth and live with hope for eternal life instead of worldly pursuits. He reminds listeners that true worship requires knowing God’s nature and living accordingly.
