Discipleship | Sermon (Fr. Matthias Shehad)

In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the meaning of discipleship according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. He explains that being a true disciple requires carrying one's cross, which involves self-discipline, repentance, and perseverance despite the challenges faced in life. Fr. Matthias clarifies the call to prioritize commitment to God above all relationships and examines the spiritual battle believers face against unseen forces of evil.

He emphasizes the importance of planning and understanding the cost of following Christ, likening discipleship to building a tower or preparing for war. Fr. Matthias stresses that victory in this spiritual war is only possible through God’s help and calls for vigilance and continual reliance on prayer, confession, and faith. The message encourages believers to remain steadfast, recognizing the reality of the spiritual struggle and seeking God’s protection.
