In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the message from the Gospel of St. Matthew about not worrying about tomorrow and focusing on laying up treasures in Heaven. He distinguishes between worrying and caring for the future, emphasizing the importance of planning with faith rather than being paralyzed by anxiety. Fr. Matthias highlights trusting God over trying to control every outcome and living a balanced life that includes spiritual, social, and personal care.
He addresses accepting our limitations with peace, using St. Paul’s example of grace in weakness, and encourages confidence in God’s faithfulness instead of fear of the unknown. Fr. Matthias also discusses the importance of spiritual readiness through repentance, urging believers not to delay addressing their sins but to actively work on salvation in the present. This message is especially relevant during the Great Fast as a call to practical, faith-filled preparation for the future.
