”Make the Tree Good and Its Fruit Good” | Sermon (Fr. Matthias Shehad)

In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores Christ’s teaching on being known by one’s fruit, emphasizing the importance of inner goodness reflected in outward actions. He addresses how believers can maintain their spiritual integrity and bear good fruit while living in a world filled with opposing values and practices.

Fr. Matthias highlights the mission of Christians to engage with the world through evangelism, moral example, teaching truth, service, and prayer, without conforming to worldly standards. Drawing on Scripture and St. Athanasius of Alexandria’s guidance, he explains how Christians should live purposeful lives anchored in God’s Word to remain unblemished by worldly influences.

This message offers practical insight into balancing spiritual purity with active participation in the world, encouraging believers to shine as salt and light while guarding against spiritual compromise.#ChristianLiving #FruitOfTheSpirit #SpiritualIntegrity #FaithInAction #BearingGoodFruit #ChristCenteredLife #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias
