In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the theme of responding to God's call by examining key biblical figures and their examples of faith. He discusses Abraham’s obedience despite uncertainty, Moses’ doubt and God’s reassurance, and Samuel’s attentiveness to hearing God’s voice. Fr. Matthias also reflects on Jonah’s struggle with resistance and eventual submission, and Isaiah’s willingness to serve despite sacrifices. Central to the message is St. Mary’s complete submission to God’s plan as the mother of Christ, illustrating perfect obedience and trust.
Fr. Matthias emphasizes trusting God’s timing, listening for His voice amid distractions, and embracing God’s will even when it requires sacrifice or leads to the unknown. This teaching encourages believers to say “yes” to God’s call with faith, readiness, and surrender, trusting in His guidance and promises.
