In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the call to stay focused on the Christian mission amid life’s many distractions. Drawing from the instructions Jesus gave to the 70 apostles, Fr. Matthias explains the importance of avoiding distractions and staying committed to the path God has set. He highlights biblical examples like the Israelites and Lot’s wife to show the dangers of looking back and remaining attached to past lives or worldly things.
Fr. Matthias encourages regular self-reflection on priorities and attachments, stressing the need to love God above all else and to use time wisely. He emphasizes setting aside daily quiet time for prayer and being aware of spiritual challenges and opposition from the enemy. Ultimately, this talk challenges believers to persevere in their spiritual journey with focus, trust, and reliance on God’s strength.
