    By far the best church channel on youtube right now. The more I listen the more I understand myself and god's word. I was lawless and soaked in sin for so long and now have been dried off by salvation. I'll never go back to that old person, I can finally recognize myself in the mirror. Thank you so much to everyone at this channel and church. Your wisdom has truly been a joy to inhale. Being clean has been difficult, but being an addict was exhausting. This is the life I want now and forever and will never stop learning!! Thank you god! :) thank you life church! You rock Craig!!!

I have been a Christian 26 years and God has always taken care of my enemies, helped me in times of trouble, been through trials and tribulations and there have been many. I honestly am so thankful everyday for his grace that is sufficient for me. I have seen miracles in my own life and others. My prayers are for all my brothers and sisters around the world. God bless u and keep u.

    My husband and I are both Jesus followers. He is our hope. We're a blended family with 6 kids at home. We both lost our jobs 3 days apart. March 27th & 30th. I had my job for 13 years. My husband had just started a job we had litterally prayed for, for years. I don't know the reason. I am scared. But with God, I know there is a purpose. We probably won't see what it was until after we're out of this storm. But His Word says he will get us out of the other side. I trust that he will. I also know that the fire refines. We are blessed beyond measure. So blessed by Him. Even now, especially now. I'm thankful for whatever lesson he is trying to teach us. I am thankful he is carrying us. Prayers for all brothers and sisters in WAYYY worse situations around the world than us. I am praying for YOU ALL!!!

    I needed to hear this. 38 and single, still saving myself for my future husband. I've had 2 opportunities for marriage but they were men who did not want to hear or learn about Jesus. I really want a family and the years are passing by... Every night I sob myself to sleep out of loneliness... I've withdrawn from friends because everyone but me is coupled and activities, even church-based ones, get awkward. During this time in trying to build a closer relationship with God, but bitterness and hopelessness are taking root. This hurts so much...! It's there anyone or there who's been through something similar?

    Sometime "God's preparation come packaged as pain". Nice one! This is so true because God does not allow things to happen without purpose; honestly, there are things that we would not accept in our lives until certain things happen, so it can humble us to welcome the change. "Realize that God may be doing something in you before He does something through you". Yes Sir, you are truly lead by the Spirit of God in your interpretation of the Gospel; this is timely, and it encourages me to keep on trusting 😊 Him, for I know that He is using everything that I encounter to work for my good. Oh hallelujah!

In a recent job, with the worst supervisor I have ever had, God taught me humility. More recently, insulted for defending the Bible - I am learning to strip away the flesh. Just a few examples of many. I have trained myself to first thank God in my pain for whatever character trait he is building in me. I love Life church ! These messages are the reason why !

Thank you for the powerful sermon, really like watching videos of Life Church! I am going through an immense season that just seems like there is no end. But there is an end and my expectation will not be cut off. I can’t understand the pain at all, complete darkness but I feel encouraged that God has me, indeed the bigger the suffering the bigger the purpose.

    Extremely well explained, "Sometimes God's preparation comes packaged as pain"🙏🥺 sometimes emotionally pain or mentally pain. Besidesthat, it is not because we need or deserve pain in our lives, but because we need to develop the hope in Jesus and even believe that God can take that pain away. Amen🙏

    For eight years I've lived with intense pain in my lower back and left hip, and besides an old injury in my hip the doctors has no answers for the pain. I've been examined at seven hospitals across the country (in Norway), I've had two surgeries, countless MRI and CT-scans, but no one can explain where the pain comes from, or found a way to stop it. I've lost both my jobs because I can't focus, none the less function at work because of this pain that is constant, standing up, sitting or laying down. I've been tempted to give up so many times. But I've never been closer to God. The enemy hoped to break me, and blame God for being absent, or being mad at Him for not healing me. But for me: the more I hurt, the more I need God, and I need His love even more. The further away I feel from God, the more I want to be near him. So God has used my pain to help others, and I have never been more involved in the church, to help reach out to those in need. I love God with all my heart!
