Hearers vs Doers: Living the Faith Beyond Sunday | On Romans & James

About this sermon

"Do you know God — or just know about Him?" In this powerful homily, Deacon [Your Name] challenges us to move from being hearers of the Word to doers of the Word. Drawing on Scripture, wisdom from the Church Fathers, and even a scene from The Matrix, this reflection explores what it truly means to live our faith beyond Sunday. Learn how faith without works is dead, why living for Christ requires conviction and action, and how genuine love for God manifests through our daily lives. 🔥 “It’s not the cross we wear around our necks that makes us Christian, but the mark of Christ within our hearts and actions.” 📖 Scripture References: Romans 2:13 – “For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers…” James 2:14–17 – “Faith without works is dead.” Matthew 7:21 – “Not everyone who says, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven…” Revelation 3:5 – “I will not blot his name out of the book of life.” 🕰️ Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction: Glory to Jesus Christ 0:20 – “Into unquenchable fire” 0:45 – Do you know God or just know about God? 1:16 – Hearers vs Doers of the Word 2:00 – St. Paul’s message to the Romans 3:01 – “There’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.” 3:19 – Faith without works is dead 4:12 – Archbishop Chaput’s challenge to live what we believe 4:22 – “By their fruits you will know them.” 5:01 – Building on rock vs sand: Living the Word 5:21 – Doing with conviction, faith, and love 6:01 – Holy Days and genuine worship 6:48 – The compass of the heart: drawn to good 7:42 – Worship as an act of love, not obligation 8:04 – Cain & Abel: the heart behind sacrifice 8:46 – Rewards of doing good: glory, honor, peace 9:00 – Eternal memory and the Book of Life 9:25 – The donkey’s lesson on false honor 10:20 – True peace in Christ 11:02 – Living at peace with all 11:26 – God expects faithfulness and perfect effort 12:00 – Be doers, not hearers only 12:12 – “It’s not the cross around your neck…” 12:26 – Closing: Glory to Jesus Christ For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/@epiphanybyz & please say 3 Hail Marys for the priest. #CatholicHomily #FaithInAction #DoersOfTheWord #ChristianLiving #SundayHomily #CatholicFaith #Romans #James #Matthew #DeaconHomily #GloryToJesusChrist #FaithWithoutWorksIsDead #EasternCatholic #LiveTheGospel #ChristianMotivation #CatholicPreaching #HomilyReflection #WalkThePath #FaithJourney #GloryForever 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
