Preaching on Matthew 21:33–42, Fr. Stephen calls us to hear Christ’s parable of the vineyard as a direct warning to our own community. The Lord entrusted us with His vineyard, not so that we could remain comfortable, but so that we would grow, labor, and bear fruit for the Kingdom. If we neglect this mission, if we do not take seriously the work of evangelism and the salvation of souls, then others will step in and offer a false hope that leads away from Christ. The danger is not only personal but communal: a church that does not grow risks losing the very gift it has been given.
