"Life of Faith" by H.H. Pope Shenouda [Part 3] | The Harvest (Fr. Matthias Shehad)

Fr. Matthias Shehad continues his study of "Life of Faith" by H.H. Pope Shenouda, focusing on the nature and dimensions of faith. He explains faith as a comprehensive trust in God's promises, warnings, and the invisible work of the Holy Spirit, using biblical examples such as Noah, Abraham, and the apostles. Fr. Matthias addresses the challenges of believing in the unseen spiritual realities, including angels and the presence of God in the sacraments like baptism, Eucharist, and confession. He explores different kinds and degrees of faith, from weak or little faith to faith expressed through works, emphasizing that true faith is active and growing. Fr. Matthias also discusses the relationship between faith, trials, and God’s goodness, encouraging believers to maintain faith even when prayers remain unanswered, trusting in God’s greater plan. This teaching presents biblical foundations for understanding faith, the role of the Holy Spirit, and how believers are called to live out their faith daily.#LifeOfFaith #PopeShenouda #ChristianFaith #HolySpirit #BiblicalTeaching #FaithInAction #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org
