I absolutely LOVE this sermon! It was something I needed to hear. I keep seeing my high school peers succeed in medical school, get married, announce new jobs and expecting babies, and I can't help but wonder, when is it my time for a blessing? I loved Pastor Craig's quote: We try to find our meaning in what people think, and we're forgetting that God created us for a divine purpose".
I completely understand where you are coming from. I myself have been through that very thing and I am currently 35 and I just now gotten married to my wonderful wife! No kids yet, no super job yet however, looking back, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way, God made that path for YOU. So slow down and enjoy it. God bless.
Lord I give you my life
I love this practical TRUTH🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽 And him being funny every now and then is a plus😆😂😂
thank for encouraging me to obey God and not people. God Bless You
Thank you Jesus for delivering me from my life of people pleasing and renewing my mind, spirit, and body!
This sermon really changed my life 6 months ago. Within my first semester of college I was searching for my place in a new school in a new city in a new state. I found myself lost in the opinions of other and this pointed me to where my purpose comes from! IM DOING A GREAT WOR I CANT COME DOWN!! her i am lost 6 months later and i am back her lost but this sermon reminds me of the motivation i found six months ago! Here we go lord lets do a great work, no coming down
So powerful. Pure truth 🙌 Pure hilarious too 😂 Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series. Thank you, Craig and Live.Church 💖
I'm glad I made the choice to watch this. This has inspired me and will help me on my journey. I can't come down, I'm busy in my work. Yes!

Amazing Sermon! It’s tough when we identify some Christians desiring popularity as a purpose. It does not glorify God, but themselves.
That's why every single day we must be honest with these thoughts.
_i choose purpose over popularity from now on. powerful message!!_
_also I'd just like to add Matthew 5:10-12 which says 11 “Blessed are you when people make fun of you and hurt you because of me. You are also blessed when they tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me. 12 Be joyful and glad. Your reward in heaven is great. In the same way, people hurt the prophets who lived long ago._
_this means that if people attack you for believing in Jesus, then you shouldn't worry as Jesus had experienced the same thing. your reward in heaven will be great!_
Hi Lola, great verse! Thank you for taking the time to comment and encourage. I pray you have a great week.

Hi. I'm from Brazil and I would ask that you guys put subtitles in Portuguese. I like to follow the videos and programs, but with difficulties. Thank's. God Bless
Diego Teixeira For now enable the subtitles in English, that should help you understand the message better and improve your English skills as well..
What is baptism for?
Please help I need scripture about fairness
James 2:1-5 is a great passage about fairness!
James 2:1-5: My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?

Just when I thought this message wasn't for me I get hit with a shotgun shot lol God loves me :)
Yes he does!! So thankful you found this message.
I'm getting so discouraged lately because it seems like there is no more preaching the gospel in the churches anymore. I listen to this and just think really? no conviction, no repenting taught, absolutely bland, scratch the surface, inspirational motivational speaking.
Lexi G Well. He can't please everybody. But he can please God. Frankly I like his chances.
Lexi G I totally agree. Watch Todd White sermons if you want the gosple in it's purest form. I'm watching Take away all the excuses by Todd White atm. I hope this helps. Take care.
He's not Joel Osteen.
Christ did not die on the cross just to save us from our sins period of course he did that but he also came to give us life and to give us life more Abundantly.. Christ was beaten and was unrecognizable as he hung on the cross that is so that he could give us a new identity he lost his identity he was unrecognizable on that cross so that he could give us a new identity and him so yes it's about repentance yes is about our salvation but it's also about us having a new identity and him. Todd white's contemporary Dan mohlerPreach to the amazing sermon about our identity and Christ and he said too many people get saved and they don't have a new identity and they go for years feeling like they have a debt that they owe God for their salvation and they get worn out and they get weary And a go to church every week yet they're still on prayer list and they're still up in front of the church every week for prayer and they wonder why they're not growing and they're not making an impact for God and his Kingdom sermon such as these are necessary just like sermons on repentance and salvation and pastor Craig always gives an altar call at the end of his sermons we need sermons like this to. I've been personally walking with God for my entire life. And realized not long ago that I'm not fulfilling my purpose and I've known that for years and I'm finally have the courage to step out in do this so I for one and thrilled at this message it's just what I needed
You’re right, motivational speaking. It has nothing to do with teaching scripture. People want to feel good, and messages like this get the focus on ourselves. People don’t want conviction because they don’t want to “feel bad about themselves”. These types of messages are utterly dangerous; leading people to believe they’re in Christ when there isn’t repentance in their lives. Listen to John Piper or John MacArthur, they teach the truth.
sorry for noticing but you arwe getting buffer and buffer
