The Measure of our Worth & our Meaning ☦⛪ Fr Andrew's Sermon at HAOC Orthodox Church, Brisbane

"We’re not defined by what we think of ourselves, not even by what our friends think of us. We’re defined by what God thinks of us - which is greater and more daunting than anything here on Earth." -- Fr Andrew Smith
In this sermon, Fr Andrew highlights the intrinsic worth of every human being. He emphasizes that our value is defined not by material possessions or societal measures, but by our Creator. Every gift we receive comes with the responsibility to steward it wisely, reflecting the high calling we have. Fr Andrew also underscores that our worth is rooted in Christ’s immense sacrifice, a love that transcends our understanding. Our life’s purpose is framed as an opportunity for repentance, urging us to avoid frivolity and live meaningfully.
