"How Can I Walk by Faith? Part 1" | Pastor Rick & Kay Warren With Andy & Stacie Wood

The Bible says that we can live life confidently because we walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). But what does walking by faith look like in our lives today? This week, Pastor Rick and Kay, along with Pastor Andy and Stacie Wood, discuss what it means to live by faith.

Under our apostle Paul’s ministry,today we are only saved by BELIEVING The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1 st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins,was buried,and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ Shed Blood is what saves you when you believe this plan of salvation with your heart.

[@mikeglo168]

Hi Rick, I hope you see this before your well deserved retirement. Congratulations and thank you for your dedication and commitment to Saddleback! You frequently say we are taking only our character to heaven and this world is practice for that day. If heaven is as imagined (utopia, no sadness, no darkness, perfect), why do we need to bring skills to deal with disappointment; to love unlovable people; to be patient; to care for the poor; etc.? If you did a sermon on this topic, I missed it and promise to watch it if you provide the link or title. Thanks in advance for your thoughtful answer.

[@shirleydebruyn]

What an interesting question. Hope to see a response soon

[@jessie7208]

We have freewill in heaven too. We just won’t have temptation anymore. You focus on the wrong thing. It’s not about the poor or the unloving, it’s about the love and the care. That’s what’s important. Here on earth, we respond to disappointment with love to shine the glory of God. We do it to be the light in the midst of darkness, to glorify our father, so that people may come to him. We do it to be like our saviour, who still loved us when we were unlovable. In Heaven, there may not be unlovable and poor people etc, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be easy to love and care for people. For example, love is patient. Do you think you will be patient in heaven? There’s so much more to character, for example, having discipline, trusting God, obeying Him, doing his will etc because Heaven is all about God. We will be worshiping him, and serving him FOREVER. We need character to do these things. If you don’t have discipline, serve God now, obey him now etc, what makes you think you’ll be able to do so in heaven? This is my take on it, I’m not a teacher, this is just my thoughts.

[@kingstontown4722]

Great video, keep it up bro. 👍👍👍 💖💖💖

[@Gibeah]

walking in faith: A person who builds a computer builds it by faith in the unseen scientific principles. "What are you doing putting strange pieces of metal and plastic in this outlandish arrangement?" But the builder knows what he is doing, and he is vindicated in his faith when the power turns on and the programmes run. WE WALK BY FAITH IN THE SAME WAY. Just as the builder trusts in the unseen scientific principles, so we trust in the unseen nature of God. We learn his ways and learn to trust his character. If we are facing a mountain and God's character, his faithfulness to do as he said he will, says we must be able to walk straight through, then faith says the mountain will move. And it will.

Pastor Rick - You really need some honest word about your diet. Because people need your your pastoral character, your heart. So you also need your body, heart - because the Lord use your heart :-)

Glenda D Lambert 2 d · Hello friends how is everyone doing? I want to share something with you all. Many of you do not know that I was raised JW. I was brought up in a very strict home. I don't ever remember growing up any of my family say that they love me. Everytime I did something bad instead of discipling me themselves they would always get 2 elders of the religion to come to the house and talk to me. When I was 9 yrs old I was walking home from school. I took a shortcut through a trail. I got sexually assaulted, snally. I ran home and tried to explain it to my mom. First she put me in the tub. The whole tub filled up with blood and dirt. She then reported it to the school who told the law. I made a stmt. My mother didn't take me to the dr until 1 week after and not until the police told her to. I had a bad infection way deep inside my butt. I was never taken to counseling to deal with it And was told by my parents that it was my fault because I had no business walking home that way. At that time I developed severe OCD. I had self esteem issues. When I was 11, I was molested by an elder in the religion. I privately approached another elder at the Kingdom Hall and told him. JW's believe in something they are taught to believe in. They call it the 3 witness rule. The elder told me that since there were no witnesses my complaint would be ignored and I was told I was a liar. I never spoke about that incident until just recently. I'm telling everybody about this corrupt cult that allow pedophiles in their congregation and how they treat minor sexual abuse that is covered up and the pedophiles not only protected but also tell the victim that it's in the Bible that you're supposed to forgive up to 77x. A2 yrs went by. I made a new friend my age who moved into our congregation. I went to her house regularly. One day it was just her, me and her brother in the house. Her brother was definitely old enough to know better, she held me down on the bed while her brother molested and raped me. They told me if I told anyone he would kill me and my family. So I kept it a secret while I got sexually abused by this man for 3 years. I didn't report it to the elders because I knew I wouldn't have been believed anyways. The one person I did tell were my 2 cousin's. Eventually my mother got told but when she confronted me about it igot scared so I told her that I had lied. I was forced to phone my cousins and apologize to them for lying. A year later another girl in the congregation confessed to me that she had been raped and molested for years by the same man. We both went forward to the elders. After that 6 more girls came forward so they had no choice but to take action. All of us were called in to what they call a judicial meeting. There were 7 of us. There were 3 elders and our abuser there. One by one we had to tell every gory detail about what happened to us. The fact of the matter is that this man denied everything So, all of us victims were forced to go to another judicial meeting. AGAIN we all had to recount our abuser.one at a time. Again every gory detail. It was like we were getting victimised all over again. They eventually did kick him out but the scars of abuse are still there. To this day. Wanna know something? A year later he was reinstated into the religion. This religion protects pedophiles. By law they are supposed to report such abuse to the law. That was never done. In fact, I was ordered not to report it to the law because it would " bring reproach upon Jehovah's name" When I was 17, I decided to go to counseling about all of my abuse. My mother got really mad at me. She told me to forget about it and move on. At this time I was extremely suicidal and I took an od of muscle relaxents. I was rushed to the hospital and kept in for a week. I was still extremely depressed and suicidal. I've tried many tim s over the years to od. I spent my entire 20's in a psych ward. I developed an eating disorder. I became an alcoholic. I did drugs. I was kicked out of the religion when I was 18 because I had a boyfriend who wasn't a JW. The religion teaches it's members that if a family member gets kicked out, that person be shunned and considered dead.unless they return to Jehovah. Unless it's an emergency. I learned that the only time my parents would talk to me is if I was in hospital. So I continually continued on my od course because that's the only way I can get attention. I became very promiscuous. I ended up pregnant at 21. I didn't know who the father was. After she was born, she went into part time foster care because of my serious mental illness. My family wanted to raise her. Now, there is nothing I'd like better is for her with family but I didn't want her raised in that religion and also because I knew that there were pedophiles that were protected and I was afraid that she too would probably become a victim as well I decided against it. Instead I allowed the people that she was in foster care with I did a private adoption with them. I missed and still miss her terribly. I have loved her all my life and still do. She is 30 now. After that I moved from Campbell River to Prince George. I lived in a homeless shelter there for a year. . My friends were all prostitutes but they were real. At this time I started attending a Pentecostal Church. I turned my life over to Jesus and I started telling people about my beliefs. Also I volunteered at a christian run place who put on meals for the homeless every Friday night. There was a christian band that came in every Friday and sing songs for the homeless people. I remember them always requesting One Day at a Time. Homeless people would approach me and ask for prayer. From there I moved to Kimberly but had a bad relapse of my mental illness. I ended up in Trail psych ward. I decided to move to Trail. While in Trail, I met man at the he bar who I found out that he to is a JW that got kicked out too I was on birth control but ended up pregnant anyways. While I was pregnant we were living in separate places. One day I walked over to his place because I left my book there. The door wasn't locked so I just walked in. What I walked into was him and some woman he picked up in the bar in bed together. Naked. They didn't notice I was there and I heard him saying the same thing to her as he said to me when we were making love I loudly said well isn't this nice? I left town ona bus the next day I moved far away. Also he had passed on genital warts to me Do you have any idea how much those hurt? Especially when you're pregnant and it's the middle of summer and you have to get them burnt off a few days at a time The fact is I stay d away from Trail for my entire pregnancy I figured that no matter how I felt about him he still deserved a relationship with his daughter. So I reconnected with him and he talked me into trying again. He said he would come and pick us up. I only requested that he have a a big pot and a can opener as I had to sterilize all bottles, etc. He picked us up. We got to his place. I only asked him to provide 2 things. There was no pot. There was no can opener. The very first night that we stayed there he went out partying with some chick and he wasn't there all night. Nice. Never fucking changed at all. My daughter and I left him immediately and went to a transition house. We moved into our own apartment and her grandmother would come over and visit. Around this time my doctor put me on these new heavy duty meds and I was unable to care for my daughter.
