This sermon came at just the right time. I just lost my job, my vehicle engine blew (beyond repair) and I had to have my precious dog put to sleep. God is good and He will help us during our many trials.
I really enjoy listening to Rick Warren - not to replace my own personal QUIET Times, but at least once a week, listening to one of his messages to feed me on a deeper, and richer level in the Word, than what I get at my own Church. For me, it never comes across that Rick is ‘putting himself out there’ through his personality and ‘promoting himself’ - but he is a channel for God’s Word and Spirit and that is ALWAYS what I receive- I come away with more of God’s heart, and nothing of Rick Warren. But thank you Rick for being less of you, that we might receive more of Christ. 👌
Wow, that was a kick ass sermon! ...If Pastor Rick was a DJ, that sermon was like a set which had the whole congregation jiving, as he dropped ‘dem bomb tunez. ...Go Pastor Rick, u smokin’!
God is so awesome!!!! This sermon has filled me with tremendous Joy and I'm very excited about applying these principles in my life. If you find yourself struggling with daily prayer and/or daily reading of the word, this sermon is for you. I pray this sermon blesses your spiritual life in every possible way! Be encouraged, we can do all things through Christ.
Always blessed with Saddleback teachings. I wish they'd plant a UK church. Funny I was actually on my way to Costco when Pastor Rick said 'do you ask for God's guidance when you are going to Costco'
I listen to Rick and I listen to him at the right time. I am going threw a separation and I needed God to help me get threw this. And this man helped me get closer to God and for that I am greatful....
Pastor Warren may GOD bless you abundantly. Before I came across your videos, I was helplessly and hopelessly in pain due to emotional distress. I had financial issues and I was drowning deeper every day since January of 2020, I thought I was going to loose my mind. My hands were so heavy I couldn't pick up my Bible to read. Thank you for your Sermons. You pointed me back to my life even though the problem is still here. I am a believer but I was just feeling helpless. This is my testimony. I am in Africa
Man the Past few weeks I've been going through some tough time and I got to the point where I began to questioning God but then a randon video of Pastor Rick shows up about "GOD can bless a broken heart" it really change me the Pain and the Hurt I had just gone when he was sharing Gods love for the Broken heart and I was truely blessed with the scriptures he used... May God bless you Rick Warren and the ministry...
Guys God just revealed to me something about how to grow closer to God ... and I need to desperately share these . The 3 things you need are : humbleness, gratitude and patience This will really bless your life 🙏🏻❤️Jesus loves you so much I prayed and prayed for this and God told me through my girlfriend and through the bible .
I don’t know why it’s hard to seek God although Pastor Rick has again and again assured us that we just need to seek God, trusting him and his plan. I am determined now to seek God, to pray for what I really want for God to heal my loved one. Amen 🙏🏻
wonderful resource. I will join this however I am one week late but love the Lord, He drew me to Himself August 12 1992 I am currently living in Italy where I was called. It was very difficult for the first two years here but I am on the other side of the dark time only because I humbled myself and cried out...am not where I want to be but praise GOD I am not where I was. Bless your ministry Saddleback Church
I don’t believe in god as much as my friends wish but I’m here because my friends grandma is in a really bad condition and I will pray like my life depends on it. Please help us❤️❤️❤️
Today I felt like I was falling apart and thought God also left me, and theirs no reason to fight anymore all is lost , to make matters worst the doctor took a biopsy sample and I would get an answer this Thursday, I am a cancer survivor and have a daughter, and I am scared of the results, we whent already trough so much my daughter and I, we live in Germany and have no family here, everything was destroyed by an abusive, racist, unfaithful husband that left us in a financial ruin, and traumatize by he's violence and bitterness, I lost faith today, I even thought of becoming an atheist like my ex husband, because I cannot take anymore bad news, and tests from God if is him who send them, or my bad luck... I was sad and broken and crying but after listening to the pastor Rick Warren words I gain strength again, and believe again that God hasent left me, and I asked for forgiveness for wanting to become an atheist and loosing my faith in this desperation and misery that has no end. Please player for me and my daughter brothers and sisters. May the Lord bless the pastor Warren and this church and you all .
It's a blessed message.There's lots of insights on improving our life praying. I really appreciate Saddleback Media Ministry for setting the automatic subtitles. It's better than the automatic ones. For non native English speakers like me it's a blessing. Feel embrace by me.
Gracias! your words have helped me to understand the power of God. Sometimes people like me think that know God but it doesn't happen until you struggle that you start searching for help, and there you came to my life. I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of the people who haven't have the opportunity to meet you, to know you personally but through your testimony and sermons have give us hope and reasons to move on.
Thank you for your kind words, Irisol! We're so glad to hear of that you're encouraged and given hope through our pastor, our church, and the messages. Have you had the opportunity to check out our online community at saddleback.com/online? We watch services live together on the weekends and have online small groups during the week.
I'm looking for healing between my kids mom and myself. My daughter is only 7 and prays every night that me and her mother gets back together. Im scared that if she doesn't see things get happen, that she will loose faith in God. I'm seeking God more and more everyday, praying that he helps me. I feel that they need me and their mother together. I know yal dont know us, but Please pray for us.
I will vote for Jesus Christ! I'm waiting for Him! I disagree that we have to vote but I will pray on this. Pray for me please as well and I will see what comes to me. Some of the best peeps I know are Jehovah Witnesses and they do not vote generally.
not long ago (1 week) mu husband was arrested for visa problem.we are living in an asian country as refugee applicant,what was denied and we couldnt go to our country.i was so depressed and discouraged but through rick warren mesages,i turned my eyes again to God,focus my attention to him ,asked forgiveness and poured my heart to him again. he is a mercifull God.God answers my prayer.after5 days,my husband was released and now we can reapply for the visa again.i really need tour prayers.i know and believe that "in every situations,God is working out a plan.
We love hearing your story and journey of prayer and faith in God during this tough time. Praying for your future and that your trust in his will strengthens you and your husband as you seek his plan.
Yes! We'd love to have you involved in committing to pray daily for the next 34 days. Please email pastorrick@saddleback.com and Pastor Rick and his team would love to help you with your commitment.
I'm in a long distance breakup so patience is nothing to me. I am better, happy with my life but it is empty. 1 year no contact since break. 1 year of working hard. I've been patient but I am scared. please help me, help him want to reestablish to renew and rebuild our love. . I haven't stop praying. I have found the one. I believe we will reunite, through his power of miracles of restoration. Please pray with me
When we seek God's guidance and permission, how do we decipher God"s answer? How are we sure that it is God's answer rather than our own imagined answer?
God doesn't always make the first move, Ask (our first move) and it shall be given (God's 2nd move/or response to our stepping out in faith), Seek and you shall find (Same scenerio.) Knock and the door hall be opened. We play a part in our salvation and sanctification and sometimes skirting that truth makes us appear to be puppet-like.
Dear Pastor Rick and all the people of Saddleback Church, your sermons have been such blessings in my life. I would really want to join the guidance for 34 days of speaking to God but I live in Indonesia. Is there any way I could join? Thank you very much
While I get a lot from Rick Warren's teachings I wonder why some of the scripture quotes don't have the translation, right now i'm looking at Hosea 5:15-6:1 and the last part doesn't match up with my NIV at all.
Usually, pastors give more than 1 service a day. Sometimes 2 or 3. Could be that they have filmed 2 different services during that day and edited it into 1 video.
Not all of the problems that come into our lives is because we don’t seek, no, it’s because we do seek God and live in a world with much heartache and suffering. That’s life if you are a Christian. I walk with God daily and ask for wisdom. I abide in Hm. Troubles are not necessarily because we are not asking.
I was Taken Up to THE KINGdom during prayer while obeying the 1 Corinthians 11:5 garments commandments when our SHEPHERD MESSIAH JESUS/ YESHUA is HIS true name in HIS Jewish Hebrew language appeared on my right side to Take me Up to THE FATHER CREATOR YAH, GOD of Israel. I was blessed & shown much & given many messages to tell others. JESUS YESHUA instructed me to go into churches and ask church teachers and preachers this question: “Do you teach The HOLY Days or the holidays?” Then HE told me that the teachers and preachers will not be Taken Up and Left Behind fulfilling the scripture: Shepherds will weep from their porch to the church. HE told me preachers are in Hell for not teaching the holidays instead of The HOLY Days. THE whole WORD is THE FATHER YAH’s religion as HE established 615 + commandments. In The WORD, HE commands us to not celebrate holidays & HE commands us to celebrate The HOLY Days. Jeremiah 10 we are commanded to not have a Christmas Tree which links to Isaiah chapter 14 when CREATOR YAH & Satan established Christmas as Satan’s holiday. Easter/Ishtar formed her own evil religion & she married her son Nimrod & they had a son named Tammuz & their god was Molech. Anyone celebrating holidays will not be accepted into THE KINGdom because whether they read THE whole HOLY WORD or not they celebrated other gods.
I'd appreciate it deeply if somehow, these videos could be organized in sequence. I've listened to the third one, the fifth one, and this is the last, but I'd sure like to have them in order.
This sermon came at just the right time. I just lost my job, my vehicle engine blew (beyond repair) and I had to have my precious dog put to sleep. God is good and He will help us during our many trials.
Denise Ferguson Oh my goodness. sending you prayers and love
Denise Ferguson I'm so sorry for all your losses and trials! May God bless you in your time of need!

Me too job Lord have mercy
How are you doing now
Help us be serious Lord; about our Faith, about the way we live - always putting you first because You loved us first! Praise God.
I really enjoy listening to Rick Warren - not to replace my own personal QUIET Times, but at least once a week, listening to one of his messages to feed me on a deeper, and richer level in the Word, than what I get at my own Church.

But thank you Rick for being less of you, that we might receive more of Christ. 👌
God never gave up on me. For 57 years of my life, I can attest to His faithfulness.
This is so relative in our current time
Amen 🙏
That’s wonderful. May Yahweh continue to be with you always
Wow, that was a kick ass sermon! ...If Pastor Rick was a DJ, that sermon was like a set which had the whole congregation jiving, as he dropped ‘dem bomb tunez. ...Go Pastor Rick, u smokin’!

Not all of the problems that come into our lives is because we don’t seek, no, it’s because we do seek God and live in a world with much heartache and suffering. That’s life if you are a Christian. I walk with God daily and ask for wisdom. I abide in Hm. Troubles are not necessarily because we are not asking.
Rick I am in 12 step program and on my 4th step I would like to receive the audio and other things about fasting and prayer thanks
I found it all Pastor Rick Thank you
Glad you found it!
MrDeathcon3000 awesome
Thank you! I’ve been trying to connect with small group online and I can’t get it to work to find one. Help!
What prayer to God can he answer that will let me be apart of someone in particular life.
i am wanting to know abit more on this fasting.and prayer
I was Taken Up to THE KINGdom during prayer while obeying the 1 Corinthians 11:5 garments commandments when our SHEPHERD MESSIAH JESUS/ YESHUA is HIS true name in HIS Jewish Hebrew language appeared on my right side to Take me Up to THE FATHER CREATOR YAH, GOD of Israel. I was blessed & shown much & given many messages to tell others. JESUS YESHUA instructed me to go into churches and ask church teachers and preachers this question: “Do you teach The HOLY Days or the holidays?” Then HE told me that the teachers and preachers will not be Taken Up and Left Behind fulfilling the scripture: Shepherds will weep from their porch to the church. HE told me preachers are in Hell for not teaching the holidays instead of The HOLY Days. THE whole WORD is THE FATHER YAH’s religion as HE established 615 + commandments. In The WORD, HE commands us to not celebrate holidays & HE commands us to celebrate The HOLY Days. Jeremiah 10 we are commanded to not have a Christmas Tree which links to Isaiah chapter 14 when CREATOR YAH & Satan established Christmas as Satan’s holiday. Easter/Ishtar formed her own evil religion & she married her son Nimrod & they had a son named Tammuz & their god was Molech.
Anyone celebrating holidays will not be accepted into THE KINGdom because whether they read THE whole HOLY WORD or not they celebrated other gods.
Thank you very much for your powerful messages
Would like fasting recommendations.
I'd appreciate it deeply if somehow, these videos could be organized in sequence. I've listened to the third one, the fifth one, and this is the last, but I'd sure like to have them in order.
Hi I'm trying but why should I pray in the first place. I'm sure my time in C.R. was way way way way over my head. But I've learned a few things
