No Spectators - how Christians contribute to the Body of Christ ☦⛪ Sermon, Orthodox Church, Brisbane

"Each one of us is given certain gifts by God, with which to be faithful to God. The question is: What do we do with it?" -- Fr Stephen David
In this sermon, Fr Stephen explores practical Christian living through St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Highlighting the necessity of action, he discusses how each of us is endowed with unique gifts meant for the benefit of the Church, not just personal gain. Emphasizing that faith is a verb, Fr Stephen urges believers to actively use their talents to contribute to the growth of the Body of Christ. This message counters passive faith and challenges viewers to see their roles as integral to expanding God's Kingdom, calling us to transform our environment into a living paradise through active service and engagement.
