The first sermon I am hearing from pastor Rick Warren.

Dear Pastor Rick, I just want to say thank you, with all of my heart and soul. You kept me going through years of nursing my disabled 12 year old son, I slept because I knew I could have some time listening to God's goodness and provision through your message. My boy died, and your heart and listening ear to God, being His mouthpiece bought me great comfort. I'm in the UK, I doubt I'll ever meet you to thank you for your Faithfulness for showing the Fathers heart on earth, but the time will come in heaven and Luan, my son will thank you for supporting his momma too. God bless you in all you do. I welcome Pastor Andy with a full heart.

Thank you Pastor Rick , although I live thousands of miles away , you have continued to bless me with your sermons and podcast that I listen to every single day! God is so good and I appreciate your heart and willingness to listen, to follow and to lead where God takes you ! God bless you as you retire , but continue to serve from the sidelines!

Thank you for all your sermons! you have done so much for me just from listening on RU-vid. You are great

I don't attend Saddleback Church; however, Pastor Rick is one of my heroes in faith. I've listened to many of his sermons and read his book, The Purpose Driven Life. I cried watching this sermon, I can't imagine being there live at the service. This is a bitter sweet moment, thank you Pastor Rick for being a life changer and modeling what living for God should look like🥺🙏🏽

Hallelujah @pastor Rick you preachings are medicines to soul

Your ministry impacted thousands of churches and millions of individuals. Thanks a lot Pastor Rick. God richly bless you.

Thank you Pastor Rick for helping me grow closer to God. I've been watching your sermons from Switzerland since I was 17 till today at the age of 23! The sermons and how you convey it helped me immensely.

Aww Pastor Rick has given me so much during the years! He kept me going while I was so sick!

I'm short for words about your retirement.. Dad introduced me to you and I have been with you step by step in all the sermons and published books since 2013. I tearly say, I will miss u so much... To God be the glory. U led me to a faith in Christ. God bless u. From Zambia

I've been so sad about you retiring. I understand why and wish you the best. But I've watched you online for a long time all the way from Kentucky. Your messages got me though so much! I love you and thank you for your service for God and all of us. I wasn't a member in person there. But I don't know what I would had done without having you online. God bless and thank you

Thank you so much Ptr. Rick, I am not diagnosed with anxiety disorder but I know that the enemy is trying to destroy and distract me, but the messages from your preaching made me calm and have a sound sleep. May God bless you more and more.

Ricks messages have been a staple of my life for years. I watch them again and again. Hundreds of them. Thank you so much pastor. You are a good man.

I miss Pastor Ricks Teaching

The love of God is with you Pastor Rick! Don’t worry for saddleback church, God is leading it since day one! We will miss you!

I overheard someone saying, “I am okay as long as I have Rick Warren .” My search for a cure for my chronic depression has floundered with multiple therapies but has been ignited in my recovery and my belief that He who has begun a good work in me will continue be faithful to complete it.

You are so LOVED! Thank You!! Thank You! Thank You! ❤🙏❤🙏❤

I can't believe that I just heard Pastor Rick last message. It was a wonderful message . I was just a baby Christian in the 1980s. I'm sad to know he is stepping down.

Much love to you Pastor Rick and Kay for the years of service you have given and for the continued service in whatever capacity our Father places you.

Ptr. Ric Warren, Thank you for such fantastic blessings you have done in my life and the lives of many! Thank you, Lord, for Ptr Ric Warren .
