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!!!
Great testimony Evan. Our God is an awesome God who can and will always do what's best for us. He's a good father. 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!!!
That's right. His word says He will repay for the years the locust have eaten. Thank you brothers and sisters for your encouragement. Praying for you. Pray for us.

A miscarriage, 2 car accidents, and my Grandma passing away after she got better from the virus since 2020 has started.. This is exactly how I have felt. Use this for your glory God
I actually went through much much more after this. But God is using every broken piece for His glory and the wilderness made me see Him for who he truly is 💕
We were created for God’s pleasure, and our suffering gives God great pleasure. Whether you want to admit it, or not, Jehovah is evil. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

This may have been in the contextual pain of covid, but this was amazing to hear with just being diagnosed with cancer in 2024. Lord please heal me and be with me and make me and my wife and two daughters stronger through this ! ❤️🙏
I needed to hear this. Yes even at 26 years old. All this time I thought that God doesn’t love me because i have such a broken heart. But this video clarified everything for me. Thank you so much!! I love you Jesus🩷
Father I pray in Jesus name that her son would have encounters with you, that you would draw him close and turn his life around. That this entire situation will work out for their good and your glory. I pray favor over him, favor with men and with God (Luke 2:52). Bless his mom with peace and that you would work it out in his favor. In Jesus name I pray, Amen Myriam - LC Social Media Team
@@life.church I just saw your reply this morning and it brought tears to my eyes all I can say is thank you so very much for your prayers . It really warmed my heart. God bless and thank you again. 😌
He is very good. He is open-minded. Most Christians are not, they impose their beliefs. They don’t like you if you don’t have the same beliefs as theirs and that’s why it creates division. God said to respect everyone and have an open heart and mind. And he embody the type of Christian I would follow and be comfortable listening to. Thank you :)
After a very long season of trial after trial, pain, hurt, depression and more discouragement than I could ever imagine it be possible for one person to bear, I'm so thankful that God allowed me to go through such an intense period of purification. His presence was and still is very present, His comfort never failed, His love never ceased to embrace me and give me strength. God is good all the time❤
I hope that will be me one day. I too am caught with more pain than I knew was even possible for one person to experience. But it is a blessing, as stripped of my ability to do things for myself, I have no choice but to turn to God. Its brought me closer than ever before.
I got through my wreckage now trying to get through the pain. Waiting on the purpose. I ask for prayer for strength to get get through til my purpose comes. Amen i thank you pastor Craig and life.church.
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!
This is exactly what happened. I fought and battled but all was in vein. But the moment I accepted my pain and seeked God's purpose. I have never been happier. Lord Jesus I trust in you and I choose to Believe.
Just yesterday I cried and I said out loud “there HAS to be a reason for this pain… there just has to”… And today this video was the first one to pop up on my feed and you Pastor Craig, reminded me again today … there IS a purpose. 💔 ❤️🩹 And I’m going to continue to hold on to that… and I’ll wait until the purpose happens.
So fed of the seasons of immense pain and suffering. I screamed out at God yesterday, like when God?. Sometimes I battle with feeling God has forgotten my address. 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.
I wish I knew why we go through such hard times, but Jesus never said it would be easy. But what we do get from all of it is growth. Think about what you are learning through all of this pain. But staying in prayer is crucial, and He will get you through each day. -Kat
DEPENDS WHAT PAIN. BUT GOT THE POINT . I LEARNED THRU PAIN TO REACH OUT TO GOD AND GOT MY BREAK THRU AND YES IT HURT BUT GOD WANT BETTER FOR HIS CHILDREN . 🙏😊

Oh yes! I know pain all too well. Though one of the weakest in my law enforcement academy - God taught me persistence and that He would he with me. 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 !
As I get older, I question God less. The purpose of my trials normally becomes clear after a time. Pain is a good thing. It allows little kids from getting severely burned for example.
You have such a big heart, truly a shepherds heart indeed. Even though we can`t see it right now, He`s working, I believe it with all my heart. This pain will bring purpose! God bless you Pastor! Im trusting God! He is my only Hope! Eyes to see your purpose in 2020!
I used to HATE PAIN. However, THESE DAYS I LOOK PAIN IN THE FACE & SAY TO MYSELF YOU GOT THIS... PAIN IS NEVER PERMANENT!!!. GOD'S ALIVE FAMILY. TRUST & BELIEVE HIM NO MATTER WHAT.

So much truth in this message! So many times we look back and see the purpose in past pain but it can be so hard to see when you’re in it. We must stay connected to our God and faithful to Him to get through the trial, whatever it is, He will use it for something good for us and for His purpose and Glory. Amen Pastor Craig!
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. - 1 Peter 5:10 God Bless you and shine his face down upon you always. ❤️ Lisa

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🙏
I’m giving my life to Jesus! Heavenly Father forgive all of my sins, Jesus has saved me. Thank you God there is a purpose to know you and live out your plan for my life. Prepare me for your plan I give you all of me and am ready for change and live in your way.

Through what Jesus did, He has made us all new and cleansed us all from all impurity and unrighteousness, through the blood that He shed on that cross 🤍 Jesus died on the cross for us, and rose again, He died so we can live, And He took the punishment we deserved, so that we can get what He deserves.

I need God's forgiveness. Please Lord. Forgive my sins and make me new. Show me your spirit and allow me to live a righteous life through your love is within me! I love you! AMEN!
@The Righteousness of God In Christ Jesus that was beautifully said! I need to reassure myself of that from time to time because self doubt/forgiving myself for wrongs I’ve done can wear on my mind and heart. God is so good. Today, and ALWAYS!🙏🏼❤️
There's a purpose in my pain🙌🙌 I lost twins pregnancy baby boys last year and that pain is unbearable ad it was mY first but I believe there's a purpose in my pain🙏😭 And now am pregnant again and it has been an easy pregnancy with no pain like before 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Thank you Jesus...
Praise God for Who He is!! Thank you so much, @Learning wit, for sharing with us. Sorry for your loss. Congratulations on your pregnancy! It’s so hard to not understand; what a blessing that your faith has sustained you through such a difficult time. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” Proverbs 3:5 NIV “Whoever finds God, finds life!” Keli ~ LC Social Media Team
God has a purpose for every pain, I know that now. I blamed God for my failed marriage not knowing that he was protecting the kids and I and preparing us for what we truly deserved.
Amen!!! Pain sometimes does have a purpose. It can strengthen us, protect us, and so much more. Sometimes it's hard to see it in the thick of things, but later on we can look back in the rear view and realize how perfect God's plans really are. God bless you! - Heather, Team LC
Amen!! Learn through the pain and get closer to God. My wife and I went through covid thinking we weren't going to be together and now we're stronger than ever with Christ!!
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!
Your story is so inspiring Stian Ø Heimtun!🙌 We’re praying for your recovery. That God may help you recover fully. Your story is truly an example that peace is in the presence of God and not in the absence of hardships. Thank you for sharing this, may you Blessed on your journey with Christ.❤️

I never watched messages from LifeChurch, but tell ya, in the past few days Pastor Craig Groeschel has been comforting to listen to. He touches on actual hurt and trauma that people are going through. He shows he has a heart for people that are struggling with mental health and doesn't hesitate to show true emotion. Sometimes people need to see and feel that the preacher actually cares, and I get that from him even through a screen. May he always be a vessel for God to reach people.
Pastor Craig I want to pray for you...Heavenly Father I lift up pastor Craig to you..I know these are trying, weird and strange times and I can tell this amazing man has a heart for people and all his church members..i pray Holy Spirit that you wrap him in your love and comfort and that a peace comes over him..i pray this in Jesus name!!! You just keep being you pastor Craig and much love to you !!
I surrender God everything . health family finances burdens etc. Walk with me and warm my heart up Lord I want to walk in your light I know you pulled me out of that pit therefore I won't go back their. In Jesus Name Amen.

Casey, you can do it 👌. You're not alone 😘. I'm in emotional pain 😭, and it hurts deeply. I pray for you, myself, and others to rise above this. In Jesus name I pray Amen. Lots of love and hugs to you always💞.
I believe that when sin entered the world, it held the door open for pain, sorrow, death, illness, despair, and every other awful thing. They snuck in right behind sin. Just because God can work good out of pain doesn't mean that He orchestrated the pain. Just because He used something bad doesn’t mean that He caused it.
When I suffer, am in pain or alone, I create my best work. Today I created my best song yet. So this sermon pops up on a day where I experienced suffering and pain from being alone at home.

I trust in God through my pain I know he has a purpose praise God !
So fed of the seasons of immense pain and suffering. I screamed out at God yesterday, like when God?. Sometimes I battle with feeling God has forgotten my address.
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.
I wish I knew why we go through such hard times, but Jesus never said it would be easy. But what we do get from all of it is growth. Think about what you are learning through all of this pain. But staying in prayer is crucial, and He will get you through each day.

That was the beginning of my healing, the next day I could walk and eat a little bit i trust him

Oh yes! I know pain all too well. Though one of the weakest in my law enforcement academy - God taught me persistence and that He would he with me. 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 !
May God bless and protect you!
As I get older, I question God less. The purpose of my trials normally becomes clear after a time. Pain is a good thing. It allows little kids from getting severely burned for example.
You have such a big heart, truly a shepherds heart indeed. Even though we can`t see it right now, He`s working, I believe it with all my heart. This pain will bring purpose! God bless you Pastor! Im trusting God! He is my only Hope! Eyes to see your purpose in 2020!
I quit drinking, and I can tell you I am so much happier
❤️
I used to HATE PAIN. However, THESE DAYS I LOOK PAIN IN THE FACE & SAY TO MYSELF YOU GOT THIS... PAIN IS NEVER PERMANENT!!!. GOD'S ALIVE FAMILY. TRUST & BELIEVE HIM NO MATTER WHAT.
Keep at it ! So encouraged by the comments on this video.
I'm trusting God my heavenly Father.
Amen. Let the weak says I am strong and the poor says I am rich, because what God have done in their's life.
No, I'm accurate when I say I hate Pain. Especially when it is without purpose.
I’m trusting You. Prepare me for Your purpose. 😭❤️
Amen, Krishia!
I'm giving my life to Jesus. Jesus save me and make me new. Thank you, Jesus, AMEN !!!

Don't give up and don't give in. Keep leaning in on God and He will show you the truth.
Laura - Team LC
So much truth in this message! So many times we look back and see the purpose in past pain but it can be so hard to see when you’re in it. We must stay connected to our God and faithful to Him to get through the trial, whatever it is, He will use it for something good for us and for His purpose and Glory. Amen Pastor Craig!
Hello susan hope you’re okay
I trust God to take all the pain away Amen..
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

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🙏
Amen 🙌
I needed this message today. I woke up this morning feeling hopeless, and this sermon gave me faith that things will be okay.
I’m giving my life to Jesus! Heavenly Father forgive all of my sins, Jesus has saved me. Thank you God there is a purpose to know you and live out your plan for my life. Prepare me for your plan I give you all of me and am ready for change and live in your way.

Through what Jesus did, He has made us all new and cleansed us all from all impurity and unrighteousness, through the blood that He shed on that cross 🤍 Jesus died on the cross for us, and rose again, He died so we can live, And He took the punishment we deserved, so that we can get what He deserves. Amen
Hi, I added on Korean subtitle for this video using my the other youtube ID(Yohan) to show this to my Korean family and friends who is wishing to hear this. Hope to accept and show it on the video. Many thanks for the good message always which is inspiring me all the time.
Hey, Church, I'm still waiting an answer for the above request. Any answer is okay but i'm waiting for this. Thanks in advance.
I give my life to Jesus.
Luke 15:10 says that the angels in Heaven rejoice anytime a sinner repents and so do we! 🙌

Pain is a gift.
Sometimes you must hurt in order to know,
fall in order to grow,
lose in order to gain because life's greatest lessons are learned through pain.

Amen! Pastor Craig. Thank you for this on time word!
I need God's forgiveness. Please Lord. Forgive my sins and make me new. Show me your spirit and allow me to live a righteous life through your love is within me! I love you! AMEN!
@The Righteousness of God In Christ Jesus that was beautifully said! I need to reassure myself of that from time to time because self doubt/forgiving myself for wrongs I’ve done can wear on my mind and heart. God is so good. Today, and ALWAYS!🙏🏼❤️
There's a purpose in my pain🙌🙌 I lost twins pregnancy baby boys last year and that pain is unbearable ad it was mY first but I believe there's a purpose in my pain🙏😭 And now am pregnant again and it has been an easy pregnancy with no pain like before 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Thank you Jesus...
Praise God for Who He is!!
Thank you so much, @Learning wit, for sharing with us. Sorry for your loss. Congratulations on your pregnancy! It’s so hard to not understand; what a blessing that your faith has sustained you through such a difficult time.

God has a purpose for every pain, I know that now. I blamed God for my failed marriage not knowing that he was protecting the kids and I and preparing us for what we truly deserved.
Amen!!! Pain sometimes does have a purpose. It can strengthen us, protect us, and so much more. Sometimes it's hard to see it in the thick of things, but later on we can look back in the rear view and realize how perfect God's plans really are. God bless you!
- Heather, Team LC
Amen!! Learn through the pain and get closer to God. My wife and I went through covid thinking we weren't going to be together and now we're stronger than ever with Christ!!
💛
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!
Your story is so inspiring Stian Ø Heimtun!🙌 We’re praying for your recovery. That God may help you recover fully. Your story is truly an example that peace is in the presence of God and not in the absence of hardships. Thank you for sharing this, may you Blessed on your journey with Christ.❤️
How did he start out with the SAME words I've literally been ranting all day about my life!!!!!!
No Thanks God talking through Him to you
The Lord works in mysterious ways, still I believe that could be the Holy Spirit.

I never watched messages from LifeChurch, but tell ya, in the past few days Pastor Craig Groeschel has been comforting to listen to. He touches on actual hurt and trauma that people are going through. He shows he has a heart for people that are struggling with mental health and doesn't hesitate to show true emotion. Sometimes people need to see and feel that the preacher actually cares, and I get that from him even through a screen. May he always be a vessel for God to reach people.
I believe, I trust God, I may not see it but I have faith and trust God will bring good out of my pain. May I grow closer to him spiritually
Amen 🙏
Thank You Jesus. You alone are my purpose. I love You so much Lord. Yes, I'm trusting You.

I'm always blessed by your message Craig! God speaks to me (and many, many, others)directly through you.
I need His forgivesness everyday!
I hope something big happens through my pain l been dealing with pain for 2 years and a half l am still trying to hang on
Hang on Casey, you are not alone. We are with you through the strength and blood in Jesus Christ
Casey, you can do it 👌. You're not alone 😘. I'm in emotional pain 😭, and it hurts deeply. I pray for you, myself, and others to rise above this. In Jesus name I pray Amen. Lots of love and hugs to you always💞.
I am TRUSTING HIM!!
Thanks for this awesome message, Pastor! 🙌🏼✝️💪🏼
You did it lol hahaha
I’m giving my life to Jesus 😢
What doesn't kill you, only can make you stronger! God's mercy and Grace gives me strength!!
I believe that when sin entered the world, it held the door open for pain, sorrow, death, illness, despair, and every other awful thing. They snuck in right behind sin.
Just because God can work good out of pain doesn't mean that He orchestrated the pain. Just because He used something bad doesn’t mean that He caused it.
Amen!!! God is Holy!!!
Yes, @antlers163! Thank you for sharing that!!

If that is true
What is it?
Almost 3 years ago my husband was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s disease. It’s hard, believe me, but I try to remember that God is breaking me to build me to a higher purpose. I know that God will be faithful to me even in my lowest moments.
