Made for Greatness, Not Comfort - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon 2026

Are you settling for comfort when you were created for something far greater? In this Sunday Sermon compilation, Bishop Barron challenges us to leave behind the distractions of the world and embrace the radical call of Christianity.

Drawing from the wisdom of Blaise Pascal, Joseph Ratzinger, and the Apostle Paul, Bishop Barron explores the spiritual discipline needed to confront life's biggest questions. From resisting the temptations of power and pleasure in the desert to understanding the revolutionary reality of the Resurrection, this video is a guide to becoming the "New Creation" God intends you to be.

In this video, Bishop Barron covers:


The Trap of Diversion: Why we use distractions to avoid facing God and our own purpose.

Comfort vs. Greatness: Reflecting on Joseph Ratzinger's insight that we are not made for comfort, but to be conduits of divine grace.

The Reality of the Resurrection: Why the Resurrection is a historical fact, not a subjective experience, and what it means for our own bodies.

The "Aporia" of the Gift: How to break the cycle of transactional exchange and truly love your enemies as God loves.

Divinization: Why Christianity is not just about being a "nice person," but about sharing in the very nature of God.

Join us as we explore the path from the desert of temptation to the banquet of the Father.
