Before I became under a "new management" I believed that people believed in God because they were weak and couldn't handle their life on their own. Man, I was wrong! Thank you Lord for opening my eyes when I couldn't see...
I was an atheist/agnostic until a few months ago. To answer that question how has it worked for me to be my own lord, it had worked great, because, and only because the grace of God...even though I wasn't with the Lord, HE was with me all the time...And I am eternally thankful for that! He kept me safe, fulfilled my dreams, taught me good lessons, corrected me when I was wrong, gave me a sense of peace. But when I started believing, when I said YES to him is when I felt the most wonderful and overwhelming sense of peace. I feel like I saw heaven on earth. Everything was more beautiful than ever before. What I before took for granted, the trees that I didn't appreciate or thought they were pretty, my house that I complained for the constant mess, everything, I mean EVERYTHING was more beautiful than ever. Thank you Lord for accepting me and being with me when I didn't believe. Amen
Pastor Rick, I recently discovered your messages on RU-vid. I've been listening to them everyday, throughout the day since. Your messages are what I need to hear...and practice. I believe in Jesus. But you wouldn't know it by looking at me most of the time...I want to say thank you and God bless you for your hard work making these messages.
@@madeinusa5395 Pastor Rick. Good to hear from you. Well, the last 4 years have been quite a ride. I've gone from where I was in my original comment...to all over the place and back again. At the moment, I am working to ingest God's word as much as I can. I want to be like a tree planted by streams of water.
My granson got this book "what on earth am I here for " I downloaded it and I enjoyed it so much, it then led me too these sermons, which I listen too 2/3 times a day, very inspiring, God continously bless you Pastor Rick
This was posted on my birthday...whenever he said that he knows God knows what it's like to lose his son my eyes started tearing up. I really enjoyed this message and hope your grief is continually comforted by the Holy Spirit who comforts. Love from TX.
Every person and every animal I prayed for, has died - I prayed for life and God answered with death. Yes, I know that death is part of life. Yes, I know that death comes to us all. But I have become fearful of praying for life because, with each death, I become more discouraged, filled with sorrow, and afraid. This message gives me something to think about - The resurrection is my hope!
Pastor Rick, I may be late in watching this sermon, but WOW o WOW !!! You are one righteous dude !!!!! Love the way you put OUR LORD/ FATHER GOD into perspective for me and others. Much Love from a fellow Californian who moved North 32 years ago and has recently re-given her life to Jesus/ GOD ! Amen
This is such a powerful sermon I think any Christian and non Christian should watch. It really sums up the entire gospel and challenges us to be more than a one day a week follower of Jesus. Thank you, Pastor Warren, for sharing this message, and sharing your personal struggles. As a new genuine believer I just want everyone to know this good news.
I live in London UK. I’m a Christian Orthodox Christian and have been blessed with a good family. Thank you to Pastor Rick for making me understand Jesus better. If you want to listen to the bible like you are with Jesus search David Suchet reading the bible you will not be disappointed
great sermon !! it makes my faith stronger and it feels good to have a stronger faith.May God bless Rick Warren . He is a gift from God .It is sad that not many people listen to him .
Indeed, you are a great Testimony of a True, strong, resilient, overcoming believer in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. Oh, what a blessing, to Mankind. 🦅💕🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😊
Which one I PICK ?Will you dare to believe? or as you said I dare you to believe ....repentance,righteousness and judgement to follow my God JESUS..I will go for . Will you dare to believe?
I love the way you teach and I've been watching you everyday since I found you I cannot believe that you live in San Francisco the devil state but if I guess any preaching really needs to be done it needs to be done where the devil's at I know he's everywhere is San Francisco's kind of like his HomeBase
Whoooha He Wants Us to follow Him Under OUR FREE Will .... Not Him Controlling Us... otherwise He would have Robots...WOW Rick....I'm Not Impressed with that "Message" Of Jesus You Are SAYING in this Video
Strangely after hearing him...I doubt my faith! I just can't love and live to help people like child molesters...killers of innocent people...because he said if I can't live to serve others ...you might not have been saved in the first place..Please help!
Hazel Mani its a process learning to love those who seem unlovable, its not an automatic change once u accept Jesus as Lord and Savior but you'll see the change eventually in yourself, you'll look back and see the growing love u have for the so called unlovable
Are you around murderes or child molesters? But you have people not like those but are in need of your help and service. Those kind of people you mentioned also need your service, serve them justice by reporting their crimes if u know one. In that way you are serving their victims as well. Dont doubt your faith in God. There is always a way to make ur faith stronger.
I love your sermons and strong mindful references to the holy book and the education.. However, it's the same education and Bible that we all believe in around the world, but we take it from different angles to cure regional diseases and suffering. . It's demographic /geographic stress that people suffer in different regions in the world... You said it that isis hate and kill Christians in our middle east for instance.. Others who convert to Christians and become true and STRONG believers can only hide their new faith inside their hearts until they could feel safe if they get a chance to leave to other lands to feel safe.. It's a pity and I won't compare my faith the same like theirs.. Others in the far east are fighting for their daily bread and YET they still observe their integrity (to their best with some exceptions which you and me may never tolerate).. I took your word that we may not play God... My point here is that your service is so powerful but I'm afraid it might be so local to the sweet Americans who might not yet let their dignity for their daily bread or safety... I don't blame them off course, however, Jesus still watch over all even those whom gave up unwillingly because their burden was unbearable.... I would love to see strong pastor like your good self reaching out for other societies which not much can reach
faith is without question and its works is without merit, mans ego loves to question every thing and put merit to what it has questioned.But he is a Jew who is in secret, and circumcision is that which is of the heart, in The Spirit and not by the Scriptures, whose glory is not from the children of men, but from God.
