Almost 11 years ago. This sermon made me repent, God turned my life around. I was a drug addict, lying, stealing, no hope, no vision. One friend sent me this link. I watched it, felt so compelled, went on my knees and prayed and got delivered from my addiction and all my sadness in one moment. Ive been clean for all this time, my marriage is restored and ive been speaking myself for 8 years in multiple churches and still more every year. God is great, nothing is impossible but sometimes we gotta be shaken!
To anyone feeling convicted by this sermon, myself included, that is a wonderful thing. That is the holy spirit working in you. But you must not just take it as just a conviction and you go about your day normally, act on that conviction!
I begged GOD to help me love HIM more. He did! I can't get enough of HIM!! I truly LOVE the WORD and the author! GOD can give us the desires of our hearts, if they are heavenly desires. GOD BLESS US ALL!
This messge changed me too, i am so greatful that there still are true teachers of he gospel. That will teach the whole bible and not just parts. Its all abt the eternity. People want o hear what pleases them not the reverance, the fear of God. I pray that the body of Christ wakes up before it is too late. I believe we will stand before God one day not just as our Saviour but as our judge. I never want the fear of God to depart from me. Help me Lord to live a life worthy Your name.
I love it when I'm convicted. 1.) I know I'm changing. 2.) I feel so loved that a good dad would correct me. If I'm nothing to him he wouldn't bother correcting me. #hookedonconviction
You know what’s hard...is the realization that most pastors, ministers and priests are not preaching this in their churches. Why? Because most will tell you that it will empty pews. O, Lord, please have mercy on us, the “well off.”
There was a time I used to lay awake at night and wonder what God would say to me when I saw him face to face- would he say “well done good and faithful servant- you did all you could do?” Or was I holding back? When God called me to reach out to my local public school elementary kids and being Jesus to them became my passion in life, i no longer wrestled with that question and the peace and love of God...just overwhelming. We aren’t saved just for us. We’re saved to save others. To recognize the suffering of the fatherless and husbandless in our very own culture and do something about it in the name of Jesus. No more reading about how to pray- you pray. No more watching sermons on how to reach out- you reach out. That lukewarmness just vanishes into passion and fulfillment when we give our all to the one who gave us his all. Love this pastor. God bless his courage and honesty to be real with the Word.
People that are lukewarm don't fear God. He can take your life at any moment don't you understand that. He is almighty and he has control rather you know it or not.
JESUS LAVISHES us with INCOMPARABLE RICHES that go WAY Beyond Money!!!!! HE gives HIMSELF, there is NO GREATER GIFT Given to Mankind!!! THANK YOU, JESUS!!!
Eric Lukomskiy this sermon hit me to the core. Real talk .. real truth... I have so much respect for Francis Chan... he speaks straight and doesn’t sugar coat what most preachers do... Francis said this in another vid- IM NOT HERE TO JUDGE YOU... IM HERE TO PREPARE YOU FOR JUDGEMENT ♥️ Jesus is my all my everything... this sermon makes a person have to really self evaluate ... God Bless this Pastor ♥️🙏♥️
It is painful to deal with this subject ! but so worth it to get rid of anything that keeps you from Jesus God has shown me things that I hold between myself and Him and I rebelled and well it has cost me and caused my heart to harden, I needed this message to bring me to repentance.
Lord allow my ears to hear Your voice especially. Sensitive to Your voice that Your voice may be the loudest voice in my life. Allow me to be with you as I walk my life Lord Jesus. I can’t be without You. I won’t be without You Jesus. Keep me by you Lord Jesus and keep me open to Your discipline in this walk of mine that I may just know You always. I love you Jesus
25:10 you could have heard a pin drop...the seriousness and reality of eternity and our place within it....the great chasm....sobering !!! TRUE COURAGE TO PREACH THIS MESSAGE !!! VERY UNCOMMON AMONG PASTORS TRYING TO KEEP THE FLOCK "HAPPY " KUDOS and GOD BLESS !!!
Francis Chan ,I am over bless, when I listened to your teaching it reach deed inside if I was not a believer I will give my life to the Lord right away God bless your heart pastor Chan
I really needed this. I've been questioning myself lately whether I am lukewarm, I'm so glad this popped up in my recommendations, God is definitely speaking to me, I know how to move forward from here, I want to be on FIRE for Christ
Such a true message. I have been feeling it for a while. I work for min wage and save up money for some reason, thinking maybe I’ll have something to fall back on or that I may need it for rent. But this hits home. Doesn’t matter if I end up on the streets, I’d probably be able to relate to more of the world than I could in this apartment. Questioning now, “what exactly will I do about this?”
The truth of God's Word truly sets us free even if it's hard to hear and apply. Salvation is a free gift, one that we can't buy yet it will require everything we have as a result of receiving the gift... What's wrong with thinking like this? Yet so many people in the churches across America see this as too hard... Help us Lord Jesus to love you as much as you love us. That we would give you the best of us as you've already given us the best of You!
This sermon is a game changer. I just listened to it 3 times back to back and shared it with my beloved, lost family and pray with all my heart they listen to it and the Holy Spirit transform their hearts through brother Francis' words.
It's definitely a life changing sermon. But it's still a self centred one. "Put Earth off now for better stuff later!!!" With an attitude like that, your motivations are wrong. God wants a relationship with us... that's all. The correct motivation comes from knowing who God is, knowing what he's already done for us, given us, to realising He loves me, and responding to that, in every way possible.
Praise You Lord for this message, please open our hearts, minds, ears, and eyes to know your truth. I’ve prayed this prayer and turned these things into your hands-I pray for all of your children that You would help us all to see anything that isn’t hot, passionately given to You-please reveal to everyone who thinks they’re saved but aren’t, so that they can get right with You. In Jesus Name Amen 🙏✝️ Thank You for Your mercy ❤️
I m preaching the Gospel for 28 years and I m recently studying whether I ve been preaching all the truth or not about this passage. I have to be honest, I m not sure whether throwing away wealth is the way or not loving anything but God, mening really testing yourself all the time. Actually, being a pastor of a small church, I did not ever get a penny from anyone, and I ve been struggling all my life to raise my 4 children working hard, and making business. I don't feel any regret, but still I m a little skeptical for which is the best of all. I m certain that without money, the world would be much better. But what is the exact proposal of Francis. Become homeless to feel the absolute need of God in every thing? I ve known people who loved, really loved wealth, being poor. I left behind my studies in university, my big plans when I was young to follow Christ and become a worker for his glory. I m ready to do whatever is needed, but not what is not needed or ordered by Jesus. And I think that Francis is a bit deceived with the whole matter. Nevertheless, I m not sure of that, and I m ready to accept advice.
Sadly most people in the world will hear this message but (1) they'll just laugh it off, (2) they'll agree but they are not ready to receive it, or (3) they'll get on fire for the Lord for a while then soon go back to the world.
I'm ashamed to admit I'm lukewarm but trying to be hot. I have a young family, mortgage etc. Do I have to sell everything and give to the poor? Quit my job? How will I support my family? I want to do more and not care about money and I know the good lord will always provide just as he feeds the birds in the sky.
Truth: 8 hrs before hearing this God told me perfect peace,joy,life comes from desiring God furiously, passionately. We must super duper desire God's love and trust Him to meet our needs. not just casually, kind of want, or merely agree its a truth statement. Its OUR FAULT if we dont have perfect peace, joy,life. our fault for not exercising strong,active, real faith that pursues God's love more than anything. Our responsibility to put our faith into action loving God. if we don't then we are worshiping false idols to meet our needs such as anything else for comfort
Auston Cly no matter how much you have sinned... ask God to forgive you... he will... then do your best not to return to those sins... none of us will ever lead a sinless life... but his grace is sufficient... saying a prayer for you now 🙏♥️
Powerful message. Totally hit me to the core. I have huge respect for Pastor Francis Chan for always keeping it REAL. He speaks as most pastors these days wouldn’t dare to. But this is real talk... this is what everyone needs to hear... God Bless you Pastor Francis‼️♥️🙏♥️
Your transparency and the TRUTH of the WORD you are bringing just here on UA-cam is saving souls and bringing many to repentance. And the story of Zacchaeus is one of my most favorite examples Christ gives of the New Testament
This message has been a continuous source of strength in pulling me out of any complacency every single time that temptation rears it’s ugly head! Help that passion to remain and the fire to be stoked and fanned into flames for your Will and Glory! This message combined with the book Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman FOREVER has changed my life! Thank you Jesus! 🙏🏻
We love Him because He first loved us. The One who sold everything to buy that pearl was God. He so loved us that purchased us with the precious blood of His only Son, Jesus. Money does not make you luke warm, but the "love" of money. Many poor people love money. What scares me, is when ministers are all about the poor. Judas was acting like he was all about the poor. Jesus was all about the poor in spirit, those who were broken hearted and knew they were needy for God. We must remember we are saved by grace, not by our good works. Read it in Romans and Galations.
I wrote each question he asked on 3 separate notes, and pinned them near my bathroom mirror-to remind me. I love you Poppa and thank you for men like Frances and other true believers
Wow wow wow. This was on point! Thank you for posting...much appreciated. I pray for fire in God for my family and this country but mostly my family because society is lost already!! It Is Written! Accept it
I’m a late watcher of this old r video but man did it pierce. How many pastors do you know talk about hell on their pulpit very very low amount godless this man and his family
Awesome I agree totally, problem is everybody i have ever tried to tell this have stopped talking to me. People do not want to hear this. They want to rather have a god that will give them money or a job or a car than a God that asks them to put Him first. i have literraly started asking people if they spell God like this:ATM?
I stumbled across this on my phone, I'm so glad. I've read many of your books but never heard you speak. I want to always be on fire for the Lord. But people around me don't think it takes all that, I disagree. I believe we should always be on fire for God. During times like these, it is interesting that people are very laid back about seeking God. I'm glad I stumbled across this video. It gives me peace knowing it's OK to be on fire for God every day. I will search out more of your videos.
No, you still don't know the true meaning of this passage. This passage is simply saying that you cannot buy your way into salvation. (It's faith alone, no work is required. Grace alone). Rich people cannot think that they can go to heaven by using their good deeds or work or money or wealth. Anything more than faith alone degrades the power of salvation.
We are all lukewarm if we have not done this?: Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
So true. One comment that struck me is around 13:44, how money gives us a false sense of security. I don't want to start any argument, but the same could be said with our "worship" of guns. The Word says, "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.' (Psalm 20:7) Many Americans would add "...and in Smith & Wesson." Guns provide a false sense of security in exactly the same way money does. Their both "the world," the way the world does things. Are we not called to be different?
2 Corinthians 13 :5; 6 We need too examine ourselves and test the spirits to see if we need too change our lives and our actions will tell how we live not talking but being doer than a hearer of the word james 1:23
I appreciate preachers such as Francis Chan who aren't afraid to preach what the world needs to hear. The key word is NEED. Many preachers preach what people WANT to hear. Someone who commented below mentioned Osteen and his followers. I agree! They really need to come out of their sports arena and hear THE WORD OF GOD. Not the word of Joel & Victoria Osteen. It feels good to hear the good things that could happen in our lives but no one wants to hear the painful things that also are a part of life. It's reality. I do have to point out this though, no offense Francis Chan, I'm a fan but you quoted the verse wrong. Luke 18:27...What's impossible with man, is possible with God. You said "impossible with God". But I know what you meant to say. Thanks for your candor.
Almost 11 years ago. This sermon made me repent, God turned my life around. I was a drug addict, lying, stealing, no hope, no vision. One friend sent me this link.

God is great, nothing is impossible but sometimes we gotta be shaken!
To anyone feeling convicted by this sermon, myself included, that is a wonderful thing. That is the holy spirit working in you. But you must not just take it as just a conviction and you go about your day normally, act on that conviction!
THANK YOU❤️ I love that you commented this thank you
I begged GOD to help me love HIM more. He did! I can't get enough of HIM!! I truly LOVE the WORD and the author! GOD can give us the desires of our hearts, if they are heavenly desires. GOD BLESS US ALL!
Hey how are u going now ?
this message changed my life in 2007. Still hits me the same
amen!
Amen.
This messge changed me too, i am so greatful that there still are true teachers of he gospel. That will teach the whole bible and not just parts. Its all abt the eternity.

I love it when I'm convicted. 1.) I know I'm changing. 2.) I feel so loved that a good dad would correct me. If I'm nothing to him he wouldn't bother correcting me. #hookedonconviction

People that are lukewarm don't fear God. He can take your life at any moment don't you understand that. He is almighty and he has control rather you know it or not.
The Bible says God says he will spit us out. You cannot be Luke warm. You either are for me or against me. Can't be in between.
JESUS LAVISHES us with INCOMPARABLE RICHES that go WAY Beyond Money!!!!! HE gives HIMSELF, there is NO GREATER GIFT Given to Mankind!!! THANK YOU, JESUS!!!
This is that sermon they the church doesn't want to hear. Or me. But it will change lives.
Anyone here in 2019? Love this sermon!
Eric Lukomskiy this sermon hit me to the core. Real talk .. real truth... I have so much respect for Francis Chan... he speaks straight and doesn’t sugar coat what most preachers do... Francis said this in another vid-
IM NOT HERE TO JUDGE YOU... IM HERE TO PREPARE YOU FOR JUDGEMENT ♥️ Jesus is my all my everything... this sermon makes a person have to really self evaluate ... God Bless this Pastor ♥️🙏♥️
Eric Lukomskiy yes love it
💝
Eric Lukomskiy 2020 🙋🏾♂️
I'm here in 2020! Spectacular sermon.
Francis Chan is really being honest about himself! You don't get to hear that kind of testimony
I was saved by hearing these verses many years ago. Its true, my soul felt that I was lukewarm and then I received Jesus as my savior.
Every person on the PLANET should hear this. Thank You Lord for letting me hear. Praise God!
Everyone needs to hear this message
He puts things in perspective to make you think about your walk with Christ. He's awesome!
I love Francis Chan's preaching! Such a blessing. Too bad there's not more like him.
It is painful to deal with this subject ! but so worth it to get rid of anything that keeps you from Jesus
God has shown me things that I hold between myself and Him and I rebelled and well it has cost me and caused my heart to harden, I needed this message to bring me to repentance.
Lord allow my ears to hear Your voice especially. Sensitive to Your voice that Your voice may be the loudest voice in my life. Allow me to be with you as I walk my life Lord Jesus. I can’t be without You. I won’t be without You Jesus. Keep me by you Lord Jesus and keep me open to Your discipline in this walk of mine that I may just know You always. I love you Jesus
One of the few who preaches the truth in these last days. Part of the remnant of God. Thanks Brother Francis.
25:10 you could have heard a pin drop...the seriousness and reality of eternity and our place within it....the great chasm....sobering !!! TRUE COURAGE TO PREACH THIS MESSAGE !!! VERY UNCOMMON AMONG PASTORS TRYING TO KEEP THE FLOCK "HAPPY " KUDOS and GOD BLESS !!!
Francis Chan ,I am over bless, when I listened to your teaching it reach deed inside if I was not a believer I will give my life to the Lord right away God bless your heart pastor Chan
Hilda Lowmans that’s awesome if you did give your life to Christ!!! Amen and stay faithful 🙏♥️
i’m definitely gonna come back and watch this .. every day if i have to . What a word and what a wake up call .
I really needed this. I've been questioning myself lately whether I am lukewarm, I'm so glad this popped up in my recommendations, God is definitely speaking to me, I know how to move forward from here, I want to be on FIRE for Christ
"If you are lukewarm, I shall spit you out."
Wow Francis. Just wow.
This first time I heard this I had to take a long hard look and my life. And I did not like what I saw. God is everything or he is nothing.
Yay!!! I so hope that you are now "on fire" - and looking up!!!
Diego Cabello so true!!!
Finally felt weight lifted and the feeling of emptiness passing a bit from this sermon
I needed this! Makes me re-evaluate my relationship with God. Thank you Jesus! Lord, help me to be on fire for You!
Great Sermon! Definitely need to reexamine my life.
Pastor Francis is one of my favorite that I enjoy hearing, great sermons. Thank you.
Such a true message. I have been feeling it for a while. I work for min wage and save up money for some reason, thinking maybe I’ll have something to fall back on or that I may need it for rent.

This hits close to home. We all need to hear this kind of message!
This sermon is a game changer. I just listened to it 3 times back to back and shared it with my beloved, lost family and pray with all my heart they listen to it and the Holy Spirit transform their hearts through brother Francis' words.
Amazing! God bless this pastor for not holding back like most others!!
You are sent from God!!! Great job!!!
This is probably the most convicting and powerful sermon I've ever heard! Praying it reaches the hearts of all the lukewarm.
It's definitely a life changing sermon. But it's still a self centred one. "Put Earth off now for better stuff later!!!" With an attitude like that, your motivations are wrong.
God wants a relationship with us... that's all. The correct motivation comes from knowing who God is, knowing what he's already done for us, given us, to realising He loves me, and responding to that, in every way possible.
yessssss.......this word is really like a two edged stone......soo much conviction..... thank you
Praise You Lord for this message, please open our hearts, minds, ears, and eyes to know your truth.

Someone needs to sent this video over to Joel Osteen and his followers.
Schrute Farms, Amen!
This video has opened my eyes and changed my life thankyou

Perhaps in the kingdom of Heaven, we are the treasure. Jesus gave everything up to redeem me.
Thanks for sharing. Empowering. His sense of humour is great, so is the Message. We cant serve more than one master. Help us Lord. 😊. Blessings y'all
Amen! Excellent sermon which made me examine myself. African and Chinese brother is telling the truth!
Very powerful and much needed. Sometimes you have to go for the throat and wake people up at whatever cost. After all, you are trying to wake them up.
I feel so different, turned into the right direction!
We love Him because He first loved us. The One who sold everything to buy that pearl was God. He so loved us that purchased us with the precious blood of His only Son, Jesus. Money does not make you luke warm, but the "love" of money. Many poor people love money. What scares me, is when ministers are all about the poor. Judas was acting like he was all about the poor.

Wow!!!! Truth!🙏
Thank you so much
PREACH!!!!!!! He is speaking so much truth! I need to get on my face, bow down to God & ask him to reveal so much to me. Thank you for this truth!!!
This sermon is relevant and convicting too.
It is speaking to me ! And, I feel shameful for it. Lord I want you more.
Awesome! keeping it real! good word pastor!! thank you jesus!!we need to be on 🔥 for God!!!!
This is why it is written that if your unbelieving spouse wants to leave you, LET them. Don't reject your salvation to make someone else happy!
Francis you are awesome ! 💖King Jesus!
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, endure til the end, and be saved
I wrote each question he asked on 3 separate notes, and pinned them near my bathroom mirror-to remind me.
I love you Poppa and thank you for men like Frances and other true believers
This cuts deep. What a powerful message of truth. We need more of this type of conviction in our lives.
Wow wow wow. This was on point! Thank you for posting...much appreciated. I pray for fire in God for my family and this country but mostly my family because society is lost already!! It Is Written! Accept it
Amazing sermon!! The passage is in revelations 3 instead of 13. Very good read!!! God bless you all!
You have to want to do His will you have to do it with joy and love him with all your heart
Thank you Lord...
I’m a late watcher of this old r video but man did it pierce. How many pastors do you know talk about hell on their pulpit very very low amount godless this man and his family
GOOD SERMON!!..
Awesome I agree totally, problem is everybody i have ever tried to tell this have stopped talking to me. People do not want to hear this. They want to rather have a god that will give them money or a job or a car than a God that asks them to put Him first. i have literraly started asking people if they spell God like this:ATM?
Love the simplicity... And strong indeed.
Wow! I love his analogy. We are seriously nothing without the Lord. We are just dust who clings onto junk here on this tiny planet.
Excellent! Thanks for posting
Amen .God keep my faith strong unto the end .
How can you not be face down on that alter as he is preaching this?
I'm on a disability pension in Australia and I'm still in the top 6-8% wealthiest people of the world.
Amen and Amen
I stumbled across this on my phone, I'm so glad. I've read many of your books but never heard you speak. I want to always be on fire for the Lord.
