Signs & Wonders Still Happen | The Essential Element of Faith

About this sermon

Glory to Jesus Christ. In this powerful homily on Matthew 9, we reflect on the healing miracles of Christ, the purpose of signs and wonders, and the essential role of faith in the Christian life. Why did Jesus perform miracles? Why do miracles seem less visible today? And how does lukewarm faith weaken the spiritual life? Drawing from the Gospel, the Acts of the Apostles, the teachings of St. Theophan the Recluse, St. Paisios, and insights from Dr. Mary Healy, this sermon explores how God continues to work signs and wonders through vibrant faith, repentance, confession, conversion, and spiritual zeal. This message is a wake-up call against spiritual complacency and an invitation to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, the Eucharist, repentance, and active faith. If you’ve ever wondered: Are miracles still happening today? Why does God test us spiritually? What does lukewarm faith do to the soul? How can I grow stronger spiritually? What does true Christian zeal look like? …this sermon is for you. “Lord, I believe.
