In this sermon delivered on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at St. Sarkis Church in Douglaston, NY, Fr. Nareg Terterian reflects on the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 14. Drawing connections to Psalm 23, Fr. Nareg unpacks the spiritual depth behind this familiar story, revealing how Jesus not only meets physical hunger but also offers nourishment for the soul.
This sermon explores what the miracle tells us about the compassionate nature of God as our Good Shepherd and how He invites us to participate in His work by offering the little that we have. Fr. Nareg challenges listeners to examine their gifts, their purpose, and how God can multiply even the smallest offerings for the good of others. It is a message of hope, responsibility, and divine abundance that should not be missed.
