Choosing Which Doors You'll Walk Through with Rick Warren

saddleback.com/... - Doors have great spiritual significance in the Bible. In fact, there are about 400 references to doors in Scripture, ranging from a gateway to opportunity to a door to salvation. In this message, Pastor Rick tells us what we need to know about the doors in our life. You’ll learn why every door is a decision, and how our destiny will be shaped by which doors we pass by and which ones we walk through. Find out how to distinguish between doors of opportunities and doors of distractions. Don’t miss this message leading up to our personal growth campaign, Doors to Your Destiny, starting at Easter.
Continue the conversation online with our online community throughout the week during live services and weekly small groups at saddleback.com/...

I keep coming back to your old sermons Pastor Rick

[@butchikama9860]

From 26 years of legalistic spiritual life, God used Pastor Rick Warren to introduce me to the loving God and answer the old age question what on earth am i here for. God bless Saddleback Church for spreading the truth-- that we are here for a purpose -- to be loved by God and to love Him in return. This truth changed my life forever.

[@bulasatish3318]

Dear Pastor Rick, Even though I am older, closer to the end of this life, than l am the beginning, l consistently learn more every time I hear you teach. Thank you, God certainly knew what I needed in this part of my life. May God continue to bless you and your work my friend , CL

CL Foster: Pray for us parents who are raising kids for God's Glory. Peace to you.

[@clfoster3734]

Eve Munoz Dear Lord, l come to you with this prayer, not just for Eve and her family, but for all young men and women raising children today. They face many challenges that did not exist when our parents were raising my generation, Lord. They were only beginning when we in turn raised ours. We live in troubled times, Lord. Increased peer pressure due to misuse of the Internet, mass media and social media. Ever increasing violence and drugs, on our streets and in our schools. Many distractions. Please help these young parents demonstrate in both words and deeds to their children, these things do not determine who you are. Only through discipleship to Christ will they ever truly understand God's purpose for their life here. I ask that you keep my generation mindful of these things, Lord. Even though our families are raised, we are related to these young men and women through our Church family. We are Grandparents and great Grandparents of not only our own but all that enter your Family through Christ. Bind us all together through a common prayer for your Church unity, Lord. A greater voice and example for the younger generations to hear and follow. Let us not ignore or minimize them according to our own experience, Lord, but pay attention and make ourselves willingly available when asked, as you would do. Let us never forget your work is never done, until you carry us home to you. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.

[@evelynmunoz5246]

CL Foster: So beautiful prayer Sir. How deeply. There's hope. There is hope. God is working through out you. Amen.

[@clfoster3734]

Eve Munoz, thank you for giving my day purpose in our Lord's work. I will continue to pray for your family. May He guide and bless your endeavors with them. Your servant in Christ, CL

This was a wonderful message this morning. February 2024, Wednesday. I think of different time when I first read the book of Matthew and thought about the door way of God. In his house only one doorway to redeem humans to himself, yet we as a people have choices. His ways meaning God are everlasting How to develop discernment is ongoing. Thank you Mr. Rick Warren.

Dear Pastor Rick warren !! with covid i have discovered many of your lessons on KZbin & have grown alot spiritually !!! thank u to you & your wife & staff for all the church services on line !!!

[@ivanchong4234]

Dear Pastor John and Pastor Rick, Greeting in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I'm writing to you from Singapore. I thank God for the inspiring sermon you have place on KZbin. My name is Ivan Chong and I'm a cabby but doing evangelism in the taxi to reach out to the Lord. Is a calling from God and I've been constantly sharing what I'll learn from your sermon. I really wish 1 day there will be a Saddleback Church in Singapore. Our country needs a flesh touch from God. We have receive all the promises from God, more then the the Lord's disciples when He was walking on earth. But sad to said that Singapore is advance and we citizen are working day and night and many has turn cold and forgotten about the First Love. Please pray for our country and pray for me as I continue to carry out the work to share the Words and there is limited that I can do. Singapore is a country with mix culture. We are not a part of China and Singapore is a little island just beside Malaysia. Thank Pastor for taking time to real my mail and may God continue to bless the work of your hand. God Bless you. Yours Sincerely, Ivan Chong

Please pray for me, I got saved when I was 24, and started following the Lord, then some doors opened and I didn't know how to do what was right, and i fell away. Then, i fell into addiction again and started down a path that ruined me, I need help with everything now, and cant seem to do anything. My future is very unclear and I have fears that things will never be right again.

[@tempbrenn8112]

I've been watching these sermons since God *repeatedly* removed me from a hug or slug relationship. I keep thinking the reason was because I wasn't good enough or God was punishing me for other people I may have emotionally hurt. I think I always knew God was trying to protect me though. I just didn't want to admit that things couldn't turn around some day. I finally have given consideration that maybe it hurts God to see me go through this instead of thinking I'm being punished. I can't count the months that I denied that thought. I needed this sermon. Thank you.

Pastor said all well and TRUTH.. Thank You Pastor Rick.. But there are more out there used by Evil Spirit to manipulate others and I was a late bloomer to love the words and my walking in wilderness was Finished, GOD let me see what I need to Know and He showed me Whos behind of all Things done Great or failed, traps, pits and mistakes.. GOD shows me the Story of JOB. Queen Esther, Daniel, David, Jonah and Joseph etc.. Those things I cant understand and keep blinding by evil ones to keep us away from GOD. Thank YOU AVAH Yeshua and He saved and Healed Me...much more Than everything He did while He was with his disciples . He is the GOD Almighty.. The Unseen GOD from the Start, The GOD who is Immanuel and the GOD Who will come back Soon. Great Believing what He done and what plans He is working for each individual.. God let me understand with His Wisdom that their life encountered was his divine orchestrated destiny.. God let me Come in his Kingdom and He Welcomes Me. And The living word is the TRUTH..and He dwells (His Holy Spirit )in those people annointed and minister His People to proclaim and let us Hear the Truth.

What do you do after you mess things up then? I was always giving, open doors for others, but then some people just take advantages of me. I was supposed to go somewhere for someone, then that person decided to leave me. Is this what I get for serving and considering others? If this is then what’s the point of serving and loving??

Good morning pastor Rick I am 30° from Thailand I've been listening to your your salmon for several days are in 2 weeks and more than that more than 2 weeks I want to sorry I'm not good writing so I went to Santa Barbara question this is okay if I manage to manage the 10th by myself instead of giving to the church because I don't belong to any church here the church I belong to very far away from me and I don't really close to them because I left my hotel over 35 years ago so for instance when I say I give in the 10 to those who are working for God. And those who are in great need. Please please let me know thank you very much and God bless you and all the members of the church.
