I watched this 10years, then again 3 years later, then again another 3 years later, and again just now. This sermon will never get old for me !

EXACTLY! But how come nobody ever talks about why he has the keys? He explained it here...... Matthew 8:11-13 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be CAST OUT into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Casting is a fishing term. He already told them he would make them fishers of men..... Matthew 4:18-19 “As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And he said to them, 'Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men'” That's why the centurion and him were speaking about the chain of command and Jesus had men under him and he would tell this one to go and he would go and this went to come and he would come. It is a kingdom with a chain of command and Jesus has building an army that's going to storm the gates of hell....... BECAUSE....... 1 john 2:2 He is the atoning sacrifice not only for our sins but the sins of the whole world.

Even Beyonce will be just a regular person on that day in that crowd of all humanity standing before the throne of Jesus, the God-Man

Jesus, The only God-man!

God loves me!!! As much as I love my son the Lord loves me infinitely more!! He loves us infinitely more than we can comprehend and that is GOOD NEWS!!!! Praise Him !!!

I'm anxious about not feeding and clothing the poor enough. God open that door!

Amen it actually IS about circumstance. Jesus said "You WILL have tribulation. " and Paul's response was "I shall REJOICE in the midst of suffering." Your suffering just means that you a true follower of Jesus Christ and your name is in the book of life! Rejoice!

You are fearless...and I not deceived...one bit...but we have to start somewhere, Brother and I did some adjustments today with mercy and grace but they know...it's over...so let's help the weak get stronger in HIM...OK?

what an incredible message praise Jesus!

In the natural over here and the LORD reminding me @ a "religious" situation @ a supposed Christian company I worked for...the anesthesizing of oneself with "music"...when we need to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD...music is a Spirit and can be "used" either way. So, for now I am being still before HIM and not "performing"...

Not when you know the TRUTH and NOTHING BUT...BUT GOD! When you hear HIM say..."You have paid the PRICE ..WOW! RELIEF....RELIEF!

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord

2022 Go JESUS! PLEASE COME LORD!

Can't get enough of Francis teaching and I can laugh will be 89 this year nothing like teaching and service on taking communion touched. yvonne in Sacramento Ca. Sharing the service with others.keep on keeping on.

Thanks I loved this pearl!

Still listening in 2021

I hear this sermon and then listen to his (Francis) current beliefs and hear a much more accurate and true reflection of God’s word. He has grown so much. He now teaches only a few will be in the kingdom, “if the righteous barely make it in”, etc. Sacrificing your life is core and not just for a few. Much different view of the same subject.

Love this bro! Francis is as real as it gets! Free indeed! John 8:32-36

Teach that Teacher!

Powerful sermon! I surrender all of my will to let His will prevail over my life. He is all that I need and He deserves all my attention and worship now and forever AMEN🙏

Watching this in 2021. His sermons are timeless and always relevant, simply because he speaks the Truth, the Word of God

Today is the day the lord made, we shall rejoice and be glad in it. I always repeat this when trouble starts. Sometimes forget though...

God Thank You for Grace, Mercy, love and forgiveness. Thank You for Jesus!

Yes, a great sermon. An eye opening sermon.

Love this message! Phil 4:6-8 my favorite in all the Bible!

Yes! I’m still watching this in 2020.... I’ll continue to watch it

Stop stressing about the ship sinking, God is the captain of our ship and he will tell us what is best for us, whether you like it or not. Rejoice is not happiness but glorifying the things God is doing for us and around us.

Well I've already been dead once, and I didn't see anything, but I was Atheist before, now I'm Christian, because my Aunt Jean said that she saw something, and I would like to see something....

What do you dwell on all day?

I want the world to know God is my Dad

People should not understand why I am so much at peace

The peace of God

When you pray and you still worry about it after it means you dont trust God

Dont worry about anything, the only think you need to do is pray/talk to be about it and that's it

Why dont we get angry? Because the Lord is at hand

Paul was on chains and what he told the he said Rejoice. But it is a command.

When was the last time you rejoiced that your name was in the Book of Life

This world is not my own. Do people see me as a rejoicer?

I just heard that he read all the gospel books in one week and I am inspired ❤️

Honestly this one of the best messages I have ever heard because Francis is spot on and I completely get this. I was recently diagnosed with Leukemia and the Lord has given me so much joy and peace through the last few months that people I know marvel at how God is walking with me through this journey. I know Whose I am and I am so grateful that the Lord is at hand, He is the best Daddy and I know He’s got this. I can trust Him completely. How can I keep from singing His Name....❤️

💪

I’m so grateful God saw fit for me to get to know the Lord Jesus Christ! I still feel like I don’t deserve him and his love because I’ve been lost for so long.. praise God for all the struggle, trial and tribulations in my life... praise God for his mercy and love on me and many others... praise the Lord Jesus Christ I love him so much 🙏🏾❤️

Between you and God. No need the approval of people. You need encouragement go to your co-believers.

Listening to this during the 2020 pandemic and boy it is still so relevant! What an awesome reminder of having joy in ALL seasons!!!

WOW!! i loved this message, how great is God.

I have some good news for anyone needing hope in this time. Well, more like THE good news. With these trying times, you really have to remember that we will die. But, you don't have to live a permanent death. If you are born once, you will die twice, but if you are born twice, you will love forever (David Jeremiah). This is crucial, and if you would stop by for a little while I'd love to share this with you. I wanted to share the gospel (the word literally meaning "the good news") with you all, as well as six key points of the gospel (sourced from www.desiringgod.org/articles/a-six-point-summary-of-the-gospel) 😊 (By the way, this will be copied and pasted under many comments, but don't be mistaken. I care about every single person who comes across this, and God does even more so!! Please reply if you are interested so I can direct you to any materials you need!) Summary; We have sinned, however God sent his son to die on our behalf; His Spirit in the flesh. Jesus, being fully God in the flesh, humbled himself to the point of death on the cross, and died for our sins (blamelessly) He then arose three days later, where he ascended to the right hand of God the Father after a time. He will come back, and when he does there will be judgement upon mankind. The natural man will die and have eternal separation from God, FOREVER under His wrath and judgement against unrightoueness- but those who are born again will have eternal life. No one can be a good enough person, we must accept Jesus. He is the only one pure and sinless, and we can only be seen as sinless through him. We must turn from our sins, and die to our sinful nature, and let Christ live through us Matthew 3:2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near." Acts 3:19-26 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Matthew 11:28-30 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. There is no other God. No man, no philosophy, nor anything at all of the world can could atone for sin. There was only one perfect man who walked this earth, and he is the ONLY one who can atone for sins. And he was not of the world,(lust of flesh, lust of eyes, pride of life- [1 John 2:16] [John 17:16]) But he was of GOD. John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 3:3-5 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. (Expansion) 1) God created us for his glory. “Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory” (Isaiah 43:6-7). God made all of us in his own image so that we would image forth, or reflect, his character and moral beauty. 2) Therefore every human should live for God’s glory. “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). The way to live for the glory of God is to love him (Matthew 22:37), trust him (Romans 4:20), be thankful to him (Psalm 50:23), obey him (Matthew 5:16), and treasure him above all things (Philippians 3:8; Matthew 10:37). When we do these things we image forth God’s glory. (My own note: To testify to God's glory, it's important to live as a testament of his character- love, truth, mercy, justice, and other principals outlined in the fruits of the Holy Spirit and God's word in general (love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control Galatians 5:22-23.)) 3) Nevertheless, we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “Although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him . . . and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images” (Romans 1:21-23). None of us has loved or trusted or thanked or obeyed or treasured God as we ought. 4) Therefore we all deserve eternal punishment. “The wages of sin is (eternal) death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Those who did not obey the Lord Jesus “will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might” (2 Thessalonians 1:9). “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life” (Matthew 25:46). 5) Yet, in his great mercy, God sent his only Son Jesus Christ into the world to provide for sinners the way of eternal life. “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us” (Galatians 3:13). “Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God” (1 Peter 3:18). 6) Therefore eternal life is a free gift to all who will trust in Christ as Lord and Savior and supreme Treasure of their lives. “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). “By grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ” (Philippians 3:8) Here's more details below if you're interested! By the way, I love you guys, remember this life is only temporary (literally like a vapor) and there is potential to have a great eternity ahead. These struggles and pain of this present world won't last forever, it is ever passing away. The glory of God is SO much better and far surpassing any tribulation on earth, and you can experience such a freedom and goodness while you're still alive on earth! In this world of darkness we always have the availability to light. Be strong because things will pay out more than ever anticipated in the end ❤️ Accepting Jesus and following God is the key to such genuine fulfillment... It's not even adequately describable unless you've felt the genuine touch, and love, and healing from the holy spirit. I hope you'll give things consideration. Knowing this message, there is no hope for heaven unless you repent.
