In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the nature of faith as a rational yet spiritual journey. He addresses the common demand for miraculous proof of God's existence and explains why such undeniable signs would undermine free will. Fr. Matthias emphasizes that faith involves a personal relationship with God rather than mere intellectual assent.
He discusses how God reveals Himself not through overwhelming displays but through subtle evidence in creation, moral law, and design in the universe. Fr. Matthias explains that faith requires a willing heart to seek God based on what He has revealed and to respond to His invitation. Using biblical examples, he highlights that true faith is a movement toward God, blending reason with trust beyond empirical proof.
Fr. Matthias encourages viewers to explore God on His terms, recognizing that the natural world and our innate sense of morality offer rational grounds for belief, while faith completes that journey.
