I was facing a serious sexual temptation about 45 minutes ago, and I was like God help me. I open up TH-cam and see this video immediately. Thank you God!
If you need to look at a video on youtube to decide what is right and wrong in a decision you are going to make about sex there is something wrong with you, and your way of thinking.
Fuzzy Wuzzy So what you're saying is that you have never gone through a temptation before? Temptation is something you've already done and you know that it's wrong but your desire to do that can be very overwhelming, especially if you're so used to doing that. When you get saved your desires change but it doesn't mean they won't pay you a visit, so llamasorus got paid a visit and Praise God that she or he didn't fall into sin. I know what she's talking about but I always keep this in mind. What's more important my relationship with God or my desire. How will I feel after I've done it? I've been there and done that, and it's not a road I would want to take again,so as a fellow member of the body of Christ, yes, I agree.
Brandy Mundy Thank you for your encouraging words. It's great to see the body actually be a body. Although you did build a straw man in the first question you asked and that's something we should try not to do. But hey I needed to hear words like yours again so praise God for that!
Brandy Mundy I dont need to believe in a bronze aged religion created by people who sacrificed animals and thought the world was flat to know right from wrong. I'm smart enough to know right from wrong and what I'm personally okay with and what I'm not. I dont blame my personal behavior on some outside source trying to "influence" me into doing something other's consider wrong. I'f I do something wrong I take personal responsibility for it, admit my mistakes to myself, learn from it and move. on.
I believe this will bless you: Through the Bible th-cam.com/video/dp5lumvj3ac/w-d-xo.html Listen to these exposistions on the books of the Bible, get a notebook to write down things that catch your attention, and also read along on your own. I hope this keeps you interested and focused.
Try the short parts of the bible combing with long ones, historical with Paul's letters, Psalms and Proverbs with the prophetical ones. The hard one it is the second whole Bible reading. I have followed different approaches. Try a hard one: Professor Horner system. You'll go to read period, not to study. Having this fact as a base I have read it 18 times, keeping a record of this is crucial, try to have a tracking record chart. God bless your attempt.
I love how he describes what I feel perfectly. I can't even believe that God could look at me and say "You are my child, my bride, and I love you so much". I am just awestruck at how merciful my Savior is... Aren't you?
The Truth you seek will set you free! You are His light that shines in darkness. I pray that many lost souls will be drawn to His light through you. In Jesus name! Love in Christ! James
Even though this video was uploaded in 2006, I watched it just in time to help me stay focused on Jesus, and not give in to my temptation. God is so good. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

morning morality Hey :) just wanted to chime in and say even though that it may appear that we here in europe generally are doing better without religion, that is far from the truth. Studies show that in sweden, where I live, the amount of teenagers and young adults struggling with mental illnesses, general anxiety, and sleeping proplems has TRIPLED since the begginging of the 90s. Our National board of health and welfare system is falling apart, because they simply don't have enough resources to help everyone by this point. No other country has ever had this big of an increase of young people in poor mental health situations. My source for these statements are the SCB, swedish statistics, where are yours? I apoligise for any spelling errors or grammatically incorrect sentences, again, I am from sweden and english isn't my first language :)
morning morality you're deluded, there are more crimes in the world now than ever in history. Young children aren't even safe walking to school in the United States. Mental illness and drug abuse are at a all time high. More people were killed in the so called enlighten 20th century then in all wars before it combined.
When a husband flirts with another woman other than his wife, it is totally reasonable and just for the wife to be jealous of that attention. That's the jealousy God feels when we, with our free will, choose to worship idols and gods other than Him. Keep suppressing the truth of Christ because you love your sin and don't want to bow a knee. In the end all your deeds will be brought to the light and your knee will bow. God just give people what they want and most sadly, don't want Him.
Andy LH, may be you go find what makes you not to puke somewhere else? why do you come here to watch things that you don't like? I can't understand it!
Andy LH, i think the Problem is yourself, deal with yourself first and then you can start with extrinsicals. To become a believer is a personal decision not a public opnion, so try to inform yourself about the person of God In Christ Jesus by reading the bible yourself. no one represents the bible , the bible represents itsself. there is a very big diffrence btn christianity and God, those are two very different things!
Andy LH,it is very interesting, that you and me read or read the same book and came out with completly different perceptions and views. It is the Spirit which gives life; the flesh help nothing at all. The words that i have spoken to you are spirit and truth. John 6:63. You can't read the bible like you read your comics, the words are spirit and only understood by spirit. You're like a child who digs a hole on the sea shore and tries to fill the whole sea water into that tiny hole, its impossible! Without the spirit of God, you can never understand any single word in the bible, even the word bread!
The Holy Spirit is the only way to understanding the bible, it uncovers all treasures in God's word and as it says The Truth will set you Free! If you do not have it in you, you will not see it and therefor condemn it as lies, ect.... And until your willing to excepted your a sinner and realize your nothing with out Christ. You will never understand it.
One of the best Sermons I have ever heard!!! God's love is more valuable than anything else in this world and i thank him for his sacrifice and love!!! Francis Chan is the best with God speaking through him!!!
I need to confess my sin. Please pray for me in regards to purity as well as patience to trust God when I do not have a job, if anyone is listening. Quarantine is rough.
June 4, 2020 here! Been sober 12 days after a bad relapse... found Francis on TH-cam and his sermons have helped me to not only get back on track but to step it up a notch seeking God than anything previously! 🙏🙂
hello its now over a month now since you posted this i hope you are still continuing your Soberity...just bear in Mind that with e guidance of the Holy Spirit you'll be able to overcome just allow him to take over God bless you
This brother has a way of making the Bible lessons simple and applicable to everyday life. The Word is timeless, and this Message has helped me in 2020. So grateful 🙏🏿🙌🏿
I was bawling just hearing him tell this beautiful wedding story! Sin is such a poor exchange for the riches of glory! I've been so hurt by allowing sin into my life.
Its sad to scroll down and see that the majority of comments below are from unbelievers who are here to bash Jesus. Even if you are not a believer of Jesus you can still appreciate the golden rule. Treat other how you want to be treated. No religion needed for that one. Please do not come here and make sarcastic and inappropriate comments on here that you would never have the nerve to say to our faces. At least we as Christians accept that we are messed people and we look to Jesus who is a man of integrity rather than being sad about it and hating on unbelievers. If a christian has hated on you in the past, trust me, they weren't a real follower of Christ. Real Christians are joyful and love everyone.
morning morality seriously? did u try to even do a research about the cause of worldwars? it is because of those "people" who wants to dominate the world, irregardless of the people they hurt/kill. they don't believe the sacredness of life of a human, they think that they are bunch of worthless animals that can be sacrifice for what they think is a "just" cause and for greater "good". isn't this what the materialist/evolution teaches, that humans are not that special, they are just animals? And what does the Bible teaches? that men are made in the image of God, and they have sanctity of life and is to be respected.
First of all, WW1 was started because the Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated. Had nothing to do with religion. Secondly, many do vile acts in the NAME of God. Doesn't mean they are OF God. Nazi's weren't Christians. Crusaders weren't Christians. How do I know? Because of what Jesus taught and the Bible. You know a tree by it's fruit. If they were Christian, they would never commit acts that directly violate everything Jesus taught. Men use God's name to justify their own selfish and evil desires. But you don't judge a man based on him SAYING he's a Christian, you judge him by whether he LIVES as Christ did.
no here to try and shut you up. evil people like you who attempt to convince children and other vulnerable people that they are somewhat lessor human beings because they dont agree with your fanatasy of hate , pain and suffering and you wonder why people oppose you ! For centuries the bible has been used to decimate societies , cultures and individuals by way of fear and intimidation , you are party to this by keeping this evil legacy alive . Shame on you !
Thank you for doing this sermon Francis, once you described the analogy of leaving my provider and saviour Jesus for lifeless sin, i cried. I cant overemphasize this, Thank you!!
Let's pray for each other, our family, friends, neighbors, and the spiritually blind and lost. Make an effort to read the Bible. I have read the book of Matthew so far. God bless you 🙏🏽💌😁
crispwhite if u want to, I totally will! I’ve been reading in Luke and I’m almost done with the book! U can message me with any prayer requests and I will do the same if you would like 🤗
@@Tiatia1111 Thank you, let's pray for the lukewarm. For the Lord to help open the mind of the truth seekers who let their ego get in the way of seeking God's word.
That's why the first commandment say love your God with all your heart mind soul and strength, its only by loving him that we will hate sin its only when we have understand what sin has done to Jesus on the cross that we will love him more than sin .....
Oh my God. I am a Pastor and for a long time I have been living with God, I have been having with Him a great love story. This Pastor, Francis Chan is a real man of God. His words are inspiracional and The Holy Spirit is with him. He is speaking the Gods Word. Jesus is using him as a true messenger and trustful man. May our Powerful God always bless his life and his family. He is a great exemple of how God can use a man.
God speak to people here. reveal yourself to them. let them you u exist,let them know u love them. speak to them Lord. it's soo sad. I'm praying for many here.
25EllisDee25 You can call me names, tell me to shut up, beat me down, and kill me off, but I will never cease to praise my Righteous and Holy God. I rebuke those dang demons you got in the name of Jesus
So thankful for this message and for a pastor who cares enough about his congregation to share the truth with them. I had not read the passage in Jeremiah for years. It expresses the heart of God towards His backsliding, apathetic, careless, negligent, lukewarm people. God is good and He deserves our best...my best. All He has done to and for us is GOOD. Makes me want to run back to God and forget all these distractions. Thank you Pastor Francis Chan.
Thank you for sharing this video, I needed to hear this at this time of my life, God's Word has come back into my life and I was feeling like I wasn't good enough, but you have reminded me that God is a God of love and forgiveness!
Great Pastor. He's a pastor for a new generation. I grew up with boring Churches and ppl snoring in Church coz they're so bored. Or Pastors who scream at u the whole time, angry and hateful, no wonder ppl don't stay in Church or even want to get up early to go to Church. He's an awesome Pastor, u can't help but listen and absorb what u hear. We need more Pastors who care enough to work this hard as this man does . Thank you God for bringing me here. I love this Pastor. I love my Pastor too, he is a lot like him. Isn't it an amazing happy feeling when u search and search and finally find the right Church.
I SO Needed to Hear THIS Sermon ....THANK YOU, JESUS!!! Isn't AMAZING How, when you Really Need to hear from The Lord...HE REACHES OUT TO YOU...JUST WHERE and Especially WHEN you Need to it??!!!! xoxo
32:37 - 32:59 I personally hear undertones of the Lord Jesus of Nazareth in brother Francis Chan's voice. An answer to one of his prayers during a sermon when he asked Him to speak through him. God Bless you brother. Stay encouraged! Amen.
1John2:1 My little children, I am telling you this so that you will stay away from sin. But if you sin, there is someone to plead for you before the Father. His name is Jesus Christ, the one who is all that is good and who pleases God completely.
This is exactly what I needed to hear, praise God for leading me back to Him when I feel like I am about to fall to my own selfish desires. God is always on time!
I really think God led me to this, I was about to sin and turn away from God and then I see this sermon, which has given me a new perspective on God, but this doesn’t mean I haven’t sinned either, please pray for me and that I will stop cursing and mocking God in my heart, body, soul, and mind
Be deliberate to put God's word in you. He will guide you in all! Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Be encouraged and may you find life and peace (Romans 8:6)!
David Phan oh wow bro..I didn’t realize that. It just hit me from the stand point of like him being the enemy and we give him what’s in our wallet and then he gives us nothing but emptiness. Wow
Followers of Christ, do not think that nonbelievers hate you personally. They hate Jesus, they hate God, not you. That is between them and God. It is none of our business. Always forgive. That is the greatest authority God has given us is to forgive each other.
John 15:17-25 KJV [17] These things I command you, that ye love one another. [18] If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. [19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. [20] Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. [21] But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. [22] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. [23] He that hateth me hateth my Father also. [24] If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. [25] But this cometh to pass , that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

NON-BELEIVER VERSION: You knobs have it all wrong. Non-believers are jealous you can put down something like Matthew 28:18 and everyone is blissfully happy and in agreeance. BELEIVER VERSION: Deuteronomy 23:1 "He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord" Now be nice and get along.
please.... go find videos that support what you believe and write encouraging supportive posts on those sights. don't spend your time finding something you disagree with and want to make fun of. I am relieved to find a minister preaching fresh encouraging stuff, I enjoy listening to him, which is why I look for his sermons on youtube. I make no delusion that this man is without fault and a perfect human being. But I like what he says. If you don't like it... if it makes you angry .... if you hate this stuff.... go find something else and be happy elsewhere instead of unhappy and angry here. Peace ♥
god is a computer that only feels unconditional love and this is not an emotion that any human has ever experienced. god is neutural and doesnt care what we do. he just answers our prayers and gives us all what we want. even the murderers and rapist get what they ask for. some people ask for war and power and they all ask and they recieve so it aint what religion says it is. religion is the reason for all the bullshit on this planet.
I hate porn, so i dont spend ma tym watching it on youtube and then wasting ma energy talking and tying about how much i hate it and how angry it makes me. If this guy'S PRECHING MAKES U ANGRY THEN STOP WATCHING IT..find something else YOU LIKE..If u dont want to serve the lord decide today whom you want to serve, as for me and my house( other brothers and sisters in Christ ) we will serve the LORD.
Where is the love of jesus here? Don't tell them to go away. You're already saved, you've got it made forever and ever. Why are you even upset? They are the important ones. If you TRUELY believe this without a single doubt this knowledge will take you over and completely flow from you and you'll be the salt of the earth. Why not walk around full of joy because you know nothing on this earth matters or ever will because of jesus' love for you
William Drummond ur so right on some parts but jesus is dead and didnt do shit but always stay happy and more of the same will always keep coming back to u. it doesnt matter wtf u believe in as long as u have a very strong belief in something the universe will keep providing for u.
Da Boo Thanks. I was an atheist too man. I know what thats all about. But I got one question for you.. How did this all begin? Especially now that we know the higgs boson particle exists, (we proved it earlier this year) and have reverse mapped the gravitational blueprint left behind back to a single point in space smaller than you can imagine. I cant even put that into perspective from something as small as a car expanding from something smaller than I can imagine. Seriously, we know everything that happened in the universes first fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second. So before I say what I'm about to say... think about the universes 50,000 (observable) galaxies all expanding from a single point in space... smaller than you can imagine. So my question is, why don't we know the fraction before? Maybe because there wasn't something to measure at all, but I don't want to start talking _nonsense_ :) Read and decide for yourself. www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/03/17/290866227/scientists-announce-a-big-bang-breakthrough
I've just come across this sermon. it's a very good message of the way we can resist temptation - and yes it's only about love ... out of love for God who loved us so .... God bless you bro Francis
I don't laugh much for the crazy, joke around, modern day, christian funny hour... But that China rice hat really got me, Francis!!! Good one, for sure! I believe the Jesus life is a serious one, not to be riddled with jokes every service, (now, if I would only practice my beliefs!) Yet, Francis does it better than anyone in my opinion, while still staying close to the seriousness of the "very important message".
If you like serious teachings, you should listen to Curry Blake. This guy speaks truth and helps Christians be doers of the word and not hearers only! One of the best teachings I’ve heard out there.
Yes, I do take heed to this message. I have realized that in this life there are and will always be many temptations. I'm just thankful that the Lord will forgive me for falling prey to them. I am and will always try my best to live my life for Him. I gave my life to Him almost 10 years ago and there isn't a day that I regret that. Life hasn't been any easier because of it though. If anything, life has been harder, but every time I fell, I turned to my precious Father who loved me through it.
I try to tell myself that this is true. I've tried for many years. It still wont sink in. I just can't figure how to honestly want God more than the things that make me happy. Existence is extremely hard and I wish I were never conceieved.
Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away I will get me to the mountain of myrh and to the kill of frankenscence. Jesus have mercy on me for my wickedness and help me to heal my traumas and wounds. Heal me through your word prayer and love. I'm very mangled and my soul is broken. Please all the friends below please pray for me. My name is Andrew Kerr I'm 26 and formerly was bisexual, involved in the occult, stealing compulsively and a whole bunch of other things, addicted to heroin cocaine and benzos (pretty much everything at one point) and did lots of horrible things and hurt lots of people. My sin has opened doors and now I'm bound and oppressed spiritually. I need a special type of grace to break free from these spirits and to know Jesus more and heal. And to be delivered from my sins.
Hello hope you are well You have already done the 1st part of your healing i.e Acknowledging that you are a sinner and confessing your sins You should know that the Lord Loves you and you did not come across this message by coincidence Our Loving God is willing to forgive all your sins and make you like a newborn baby if you believe in him trust in him and get baptized surely your life will be new it won't be easy but worth it trust me God Loves you and Cares for you
This message applies to my life 100%. I had a relationship with God along time ago and gave it up. I feel as though God led me to this message today as I so desperately needed to hear it.
Hello Hope you are well I hope that you have managed to rebuild your relationship with God Trust me its not easy and bumps will come along the way But the Lord Loves you and surely he's arms are always wide open and ready to receive you if you just believe God Loves you
a wonderful timely message. Love this man of God and his awesome way of putting things right there in our faces to see clearly. I am called insane for my absolute focus on the Lord but you know what? yeah I am crazy for Him I am absolutely sold out bought and paid for a child of the living God and I would not give up this spot for anyone!

Remember it’s the Holy Spirit talking through him not him talking. God can talk through anyone. Amen
My church is online on Facebook at 10:45 on Sunday the name is real church we would love for you to tune in and worship the lord with us.
Right? It seems like it’s so hard to find a good church with a good pastor.
One of the best Sermons I have ever heard!!! God's love is more valuable than anything else in this world and i thank him for his sacrifice and love!!! Francis Chan is the best with God speaking through him!!!
Johan Zac A AMEN, SISTER'!💕
@@JesusRules1 that’s a man
If you have the Holy Spirit sin is like eating garbage or worse...
It's like eating your vomit after you throw it up
@@Iffmeister exactly...u nailed it
Vic Row go somewhere
Ikr man
@@jjjjjj3423 Its not about them not sinning anymore, but desiring to not sin anymore. When you are born again, your desires should start changing.
How I needed this. How grieved God is with the people. 2024 and this needs to be heard by all!!!
Focusing on God is the way to keep from temptations. Thank you Pastor Chan. I love your messages! God bless you.
It’s 2022 and I’m watching this weeping like a baby. Lord forgive me. I choose you Jesus
I need to confess my sin. Please pray for me in regards to purity as well as patience to trust God when I do not have a job, if anyone is listening. Quarantine is rough.
June 4, 2020 here! Been sober 12 days after a bad relapse... found Francis on TH-cam and his sermons have helped me to not only get back on track but to step it up a notch seeking God than anything previously! 🙏🙂
hello its now over a month now since you posted this i hope you are still continuing your Soberity...just bear in Mind that with e guidance of the Holy Spirit you'll be able to overcome just allow him to take over
God bless you
“Choosing Him over your temptation” 👌🏾
This brother has a way of making the Bible lessons simple and applicable to everyday life. The Word is timeless, and this Message has helped me in 2020. So grateful 🙏🏿🙌🏿
He makes it come alive in a very beautiful way
I chose to look longer and I chose to indulge. I’m still breathing and I still have the choice to follow God. God help me!
I was bawling just hearing him tell this beautiful wedding story!
Sin is such a poor exchange for the riches of glory! I've been so hurt by allowing sin into my life.
Its sad to scroll down and see that the majority of comments below are from unbelievers who are here to bash Jesus. Even if you are not a believer of Jesus you can still appreciate the golden rule. Treat other how you want to be treated. No religion needed for that one. Please do not come here and make sarcastic and inappropriate comments on here that you would never have the nerve to say to our faces. At least we as Christians accept that we are messed people and we look to Jesus who is a man of integrity rather than being sad about it and hating on unbelievers. If a christian has hated on you in the past, trust me, they weren't a real follower of Christ. Real Christians are joyful and love everyone.
morning morality seriously? did u try to even do a research about the cause of worldwars? it is because of those "people" who wants to dominate the world, irregardless of the people they hurt/kill. they don't believe the sacredness of life of a human, they think that they are bunch of worthless animals that can be sacrifice for what they think is a "just" cause and for greater "good". isn't this what the materialist/evolution teaches, that humans are not that special, they are just animals?
And what does the Bible teaches? that men are made in the image of God, and they have sanctity of life and is to be respected.
morning morality I'm sorry if Hitlers life and the life of fake-Christians still have this huge impact on your view of Christ..
First of all, WW1 was started because the Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated. Had nothing to do with religion. Secondly, many do vile acts in the NAME of God. Doesn't mean they are OF God. Nazi's weren't Christians. Crusaders weren't Christians. How do I know? Because of what Jesus taught and the Bible. You know a tree by it's fruit. If they were Christian, they would never commit acts that directly violate everything Jesus taught. Men use God's name to justify their own selfish and evil desires. But you don't judge a man based on him SAYING he's a Christian, you judge him by whether he LIVES as Christ did.
no here to try and shut you up. evil people like you who attempt to convince children and other vulnerable people that they are somewhat lessor human beings because they dont agree with your fanatasy of hate , pain and suffering and you wonder why people oppose you ! For centuries the bible has been used to decimate societies , cultures and individuals by way of fear and intimidation , you are party to this by keeping this evil legacy alive .
Shame on you !
sifu simon that's the choice of people not God
Thank you for doing this sermon Francis, once you described the analogy of leaving my provider and saviour Jesus for lifeless sin, i cried. I cant overemphasize this, Thank you!!
Thank you, thank you, a million times - thank you, God for leading me to these sermons. Much needed prayers were answered. Amen!
He is definitely the most genuine man of God I have ever listened to.💯🙌🏾
Let's pray for each other, our family, friends, neighbors, and the spiritually blind and lost. Make an effort to read the Bible. I have read the book of Matthew so far. God bless you 🙏🏽💌😁
crispwhite if u want to, I totally will! I’ve been reading in Luke and I’m almost done with the book! U can message me with any prayer requests and I will do the same if you would like 🤗
@@Tiatia1111 Thank you, let's pray for the lukewarm. For the Lord to help open the mind of the truth seekers who let their ego get in the way of seeking God's word.
That's why the first commandment say love your God with all your heart mind soul and strength, its only by loving him that we will hate sin its only when we have understand what sin has done to Jesus on the cross that we will love him more than sin .....
Marie Savannah amen!
Marie Savannah Yeah..praise the lord.
Amen! Dear God, give me a revelation of what it means to love you with all my heart, mind, soul and strength.
What are some common sins?
Amen
2020 GANG? Like one time! 🚀🙏🏿🚀
Oh my God. I am a Pastor and for a long time I have been living with God, I have been having with Him a great love story. This Pastor, Francis Chan is a real man of God. His words are inspiracional and The Holy Spirit is with him. He is speaking the Gods Word. Jesus is using him as a true messenger and trustful man. May our Powerful God always bless his life and his family. He is a great exemple of how God can use a man.
Who’s watching in 2024??? 👍
Absolutely 💯

This is one of my favorite sermons of all time. It help led me to Jesus

25EllisDee25 What did this person do to you? Grow up!!!
25EllisDee25 You can call me names, tell me to shut up, beat me down, and kill me off, but I will never cease to praise my Righteous and Holy God. I rebuke those dang demons you got in the name of Jesus
Damian2354 Que?
The light side Dios es bueno, y para siempre tiene misericordia
Thank you Lord for Francis being a man after Your Heart
So thankful for this message and for a pastor who cares enough about his congregation to share the truth with them. I had not read the passage in Jeremiah for years. It expresses the heart of God towards His backsliding, apathetic, careless, negligent, lukewarm people. God is good and He deserves our best...my best. All He has done to and for us is GOOD. Makes me want to run back to God and forget all these distractions. Thank you Pastor Francis Chan.
This is quality, everyday issues everyone struggles with...sound teaching and answers...thankyou
This is a beautiful sermon!! I love the way you make the Bible so clear. I am finding a new understanding of His Word. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this video, I needed to hear this at this time of my life, God's Word has come back into my life and I was feeling like I wasn't good enough, but you have reminded me that God is a God of love and forgiveness!
PRAISE THE LORD
Thank you for speaking and being a man of God...
I love listening to his messages. So wonderful thanks for sharing!
Great Pastor. He's a pastor for a new generation. I grew up with boring Churches and ppl snoring in Church coz they're so bored. Or Pastors who scream at u the whole time, angry and hateful, no wonder ppl don't stay in Church or even want to get up early to go to Church. He's an awesome Pastor, u can't help but listen and absorb what u hear. We need more Pastors who care enough to work this hard as this man does . Thank you God for bringing me here. I love this Pastor. I love my Pastor too, he is a lot like him. Isn't it an amazing happy feeling when u search and search and finally find the right Church.
I SO Needed to Hear THIS Sermon ....THANK YOU, JESUS!!! Isn't AMAZING How, when you Really Need to hear from The Lord...HE REACHES OUT TO YOU...JUST WHERE and Especially WHEN you Need to it??!!!! xoxo
One of the few who speak da truth.
Who else is watching this in 2019?
🙋🏻♀️
me ..today..oct 12
Yeah, hard to believe that people still believe in this junk
October 13th! 🙌🏾
October 19th!🙋♂️
im so grateful. i needed this so badly.
One of the best sermons I've heard! Thank you Pastor Chan!
Thank you Abba and thank you Ptr.Francis Chan. What a powerful word. God bless!
BEAUTIFUL SERMON-GOD BLESS PASTOR FOR FEEDING THE SHEEP.
32:37 - 32:59 I personally hear undertones of the Lord Jesus of Nazareth in brother Francis Chan's voice. An answer to one of his prayers during a sermon when he asked Him to speak through him. God Bless you brother. Stay encouraged! Amen.
1John2:1 My little children, I am telling you this so that you will stay away from sin. But if you sin, there is someone to plead for you before the Father. His name is Jesus Christ, the one who is all that is good and who pleases God completely.
This guy is amazing. He’s really helping me with my pride…
This teaching goes right with what the Spirit is teaching me. God bless u.
i don’t even know what to say so good is this. LOVEIT!!!🥰🥰🥰
This is exactly what I needed to hear, praise God for leading me back to Him when I feel like I am about to fall to my own selfish desires. God is always on time!
The beginning made me emotional, such a beautiful story and just to know that love like this exist is amazing.. Love the whole sermon.
I thank The Lord for giving you Francis chan a passion for Him. You are such a man of God. Keep doing what you are doing. God is well pleased.
I am watching this and loving this!! This is what Gods love looks like!!
Much needed wake up call! This is great.
The first four minutes had me in tears!
A true and a great Pastor!
Haha if he's a Pastor are you his sheep?
I really think God led me to this, I was about to sin and turn away from God and then I see this sermon, which has given me a new perspective on God, but this doesn’t mean I haven’t sinned either, please pray for me and that I will stop cursing and mocking God in my heart, body, soul, and mind
Be deliberate to put God's word in you. He will guide you in all!
Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Be encouraged and may you find life and peace (Romans 8:6)!
The one I needed this Sunday, sinned before dawn because it looked more enjoyable.
Who’s watching in 2020 #lockdown 🙏🏽
i like how francis used the empty wallet to compare it to sin
David Phan oh wow bro..I didn’t realize that. It just hit me from the stand point of like him being the enemy and we give him what’s in our wallet and then he gives us nothing but emptiness. Wow
Watching this in 2020! Still so amazing
Praise God for ministers like this guy... man.......
Another great message by Francis Chan. Thanks for sharing it.
''They're like dimples''... awww :333
Followers of Christ, do not think that nonbelievers hate you personally. They hate Jesus, they hate God, not you. That is between them and God. It is none of our business. Always forgive. That is the greatest authority God has given us is to forgive each other.
Kinda hard to hate that which you don't believe in, but hey, whatever makes you feel better.
John 15:17-25 KJV
[17] These things I command you, that ye love one another. [18] If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. [19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. [20] Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. [21] But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. [22] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. [23] He that hateth me hateth my Father also. [24] If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. [25] But this cometh to pass , that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

NON-BELEIVER VERSION: You knobs have it all wrong. Non-believers are jealous you can put down something like Matthew 28:18 and everyone is blissfully happy and in agreeance.
BELEIVER VERSION: Deuteronomy 23:1 "He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord"
Now be nice and get along.
please.... go find videos that support what you believe and write encouraging supportive posts on those sights. don't spend your time finding something you disagree with and want to make fun of.
I am relieved to find a minister preaching fresh encouraging stuff, I enjoy listening to him, which is why I look for his sermons on youtube. I make no delusion that this man is without fault and a perfect human being. But I like what he says.
If you don't like it... if it makes you angry .... if you hate this stuff.... go find something else and be happy elsewhere instead of unhappy and angry here.
Peace ♥
god is a computer that only feels unconditional love and this is not an emotion that any human has ever experienced. god is neutural and doesnt care what we do. he just answers our prayers and gives us all what we want. even the murderers and rapist get what they ask for. some people ask for war and power and they all ask and they recieve so it aint what religion says it is. religion is the reason for all the bullshit on this planet.
I hate porn, so i dont spend ma tym watching it on youtube and then wasting ma energy talking and tying about how much i hate it and how angry it makes me. If this guy'S PRECHING MAKES U ANGRY THEN STOP WATCHING IT..find something else YOU LIKE..If u dont want to serve the lord decide today whom you want to serve, as for me and my house( other brothers and sisters in Christ ) we will serve the LORD.
Where is the love of jesus here? Don't tell them to go away. You're already saved, you've got it made forever and ever. Why are you even upset? They are the important ones. If you TRUELY believe this without a single doubt this knowledge will take you over and completely flow from you and you'll be the salt of the earth. Why not walk around full of joy because you know nothing on this earth matters or ever will because of jesus' love for you
William Drummond ur so right on some parts but jesus is dead and didnt do shit but always stay happy and more of the same will always keep coming back to u. it doesnt matter wtf u believe in as long as u have a very strong belief in something the universe will keep providing for u.
Da Boo Thanks. I was an atheist too man. I know what thats all about. But I got one question for you.. How did this all begin? Especially now that we know the higgs boson particle exists, (we proved it earlier this year) and have reverse mapped the gravitational blueprint left behind back to a single point in space smaller than you can imagine. I cant even put that into perspective from something as small as a car expanding from something smaller than I can imagine. Seriously, we know everything that happened in the universes first fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second.
So before I say what I'm about to say... think about the universes 50,000 (observable) galaxies all expanding from a single point in space... smaller than you can imagine.
So my question is, why don't we know the fraction before? Maybe because there wasn't something to measure at all, but I don't want to start talking _nonsense_ :) Read and decide for yourself.

I don’t listen to Francis Chan but my spirit tells me he is a sound doctrine man of God. Thank God. 👍🏾
I've just come across this sermon. it's a very good message of the way we can resist temptation - and yes it's only about love ... out of love for God who loved us so .... God bless you bro Francis
It's been so long since I've weeped over sin yes I'm sill sensitive over it but I use to cry at sin when I was saved
I don't laugh much for the crazy, joke around, modern day, christian funny hour... But that China rice hat really got me, Francis!!! Good one, for sure!
I believe the Jesus life is a serious one, not to be riddled with jokes every service, (now, if I would only practice my beliefs!) Yet, Francis does it better than anyone in my opinion, while still staying close to the seriousness of the "very important message".
Oh my gosh
I lived in southern California
It is so true
Everywhere but so prominent there
If you like serious teachings, you should listen to Curry Blake. This guy speaks truth and helps Christians be doers of the word and not hearers only! One of the best teachings I’ve heard out there.
GOD IS BETTER......ALWAYS!!! XOXO
Yes, I do take heed to this message. I have realized that in this life there are and will always be many temptations. I'm just thankful that the Lord will forgive me for falling prey to them. I am and will always try my best to live my life for Him. I gave my life to Him almost 10 years ago and there isn't a day that I regret that. Life hasn't been any easier because of it though. If anything, life has been harder, but every time I fell, I turned to my precious Father who loved me through it.
I try to tell myself that this is true. I've tried for many years. It still wont sink in. I just can't figure how to honestly want God more than the things that make me happy. Existence is extremely hard and I wish I were never conceieved.
Sin is a blast that don't last
You can say that again.
Thank you God and thank you Francis! And nice hat :)
God know how to reach the ones he loves! Glory to God and our Savior Jesus Christ!
Thank you.may GOD BLESS YOU
God bless you Francis chan 🙏
watching in 2024
Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away I will get me to the mountain of myrh and to the kill of frankenscence. Jesus have mercy on me for my wickedness and help me to heal my traumas and wounds. Heal me through your word prayer and love. I'm very mangled and my soul is broken. Please all the friends below please pray for me. My name is Andrew Kerr I'm 26 and formerly was bisexual, involved in the occult, stealing compulsively and a whole bunch of other things, addicted to heroin cocaine and benzos (pretty much everything at one point) and did lots of horrible things and hurt lots of people. My sin has opened doors and now I'm bound and oppressed spiritually. I need a special type of grace to break free from these spirits and to know Jesus more and heal. And to be delivered from my sins.
Please watch this message:
Born Again Through Repentance And Faith, @ 21:46

Peace to you!
Hello hope you are well
You have already done the 1st part of your healing i.e Acknowledging that you are a sinner and confessing your sins
You should know that the Lord Loves you and you did not come across this message by coincidence
Our Loving God is willing to forgive all your sins and make you like a newborn baby
if you believe in him trust in him and get baptized surely your life will be new it won't be easy but worth it trust me
God Loves you and Cares for you
we are absolutely God's Bride. Thank you Jesus for loving me and wanting me just because You want me. My Husbandman, my Father, My love, My LORD.
***** FYI...God's church, as a whole, is His bride (check it out if you like in the Bible)
***** It's actually the church that is symbolically called the bride of the Christ. Not the individual christian.
***** No there is only one church.
***** Ah yes "poking you all", "just for fun".
Your right man. There's only one church which is the church of Christ. You can search for it.
What a fantastic message....God bless you for this!
This message applies to my life 100%. I had a relationship with God along time ago and gave it up. I feel as though God led me to this message today as I so desperately needed to hear it.
Hello Hope you are well
I hope that you have managed to rebuild your relationship with God
Trust me its not easy and bumps will come along the way But the Lord Loves you and surely he's arms are always wide open and ready to receive you if you just believe
God Loves you
Great message!
I loved that hat!!!
great sermon
I truly have been shape by this perching thank you God for your love.
powerful message. thank you. God bless
JESUSS!!!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
"If i gave her her money back it would've ruined the illustration"
sounds like a key and peele skit lol
Sin is really not at all more enjoyable than God, the holy Spirit is good
a wonderful timely message. Love this man of God and his awesome way of putting things right there in our faces to see clearly.
I am called insane for my absolute focus on the Lord but you know what? yeah I am crazy for Him I am absolutely sold out bought and paid for a child of the living God and I would not give up this spot for anyone!
absolutely amazing... he really hit me straight in the heart tonight
