Pastor Rick, You have been in my life for 16+ years. I was given, the Purpose Driven Life, by a Nurse at a cancer hospital. I had lost a leg and was having chemotherapy treatments. She gave me your book. I have follow some of your teachings. But about 2 weeks ago, I went head first into God. I realized I was nothing. I needed God. By the grace of God, I found you and started listening to you on KZbin. I listen to you each day and attend your online Sunday Services. I have signed up for a class starting in January 2022. Thank you for being a voice of God. Have a Very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and many blessings to you and your family.

I will forever be grateful for the gospel teachings this kind soul has blessed me with. Everyday I am in agonizing pain over the loss of my family, but I remember the teachings of the scriptures, I pray, and I listen to God's word, and He delivers me from the pain. I am witness to a miracle nearly everyday. And every day, I heal a little more, and find a little more peace.

I've missed you Rick!!!! God bless you Thankyou for your ministry

[@sage4516]

So depressed… I needed to find this

[@jeny7177]

Happy is short- lived, subject to feelings, emotions, external factors! Go for Joy! Joy of the Lord is our strength-from the bible. God in us, it is enough…

[@leslismith303]

I personally like to think of Joy verses Happy. Happy seems temporary

[@josephinepng905]

Wow 😲 what a awesome sermon. He summed it up the understanding of book Philippians. Pastor Rick sermon messages are so simple, precise and easily understood. We are blessed to have this Godly Pastor to bring God’s words to His people. A BIG thank you Pastor.

[@tanyasahai]

Thank you so much for this message, Pastor Rick. I’m so thankful for you! Choices I should make to be Happy-using Phil 1 as our guide 1. Remember that God can bring good out of ANYTHING- Rom 8:28, Psalm 34:1 I can only do this is I choose to look at every situation from God’s viewpoint and not my own. 2. NEVER let others control my attitude 3. Trust GOD to ALWAYS work things out. This gives me hope, courage and happiness. 4. Stay focused on my purpose, not my problem

[@graceberry9529]

God truly can work in mysterious ways!!! Wanted to listen to a message by Pastor Rick, today, and the title of this one pulled me in, immediately, because of something I'm dealing with that's been bringing me down, for a long time. The message was Powerful and Spot-On, and when I read through some of the comments, before leaving mine ... there, to my astonishment, was a comment I made, two years back!! :O Amazing! What I'm dealing with, now, I was not, back then, so I know it was really meant for me to hear this, again!! I pray it has the same positive impact on you!

For me to live is to serve Joyfully, patiently with love for the Lord. I will get round to circling everything in my Bible that you outlined. Thank you. Your fearlessness sounds heavenly

[@michaelhoward4152]

What a wonderful and extremely important message to hear and practice! Thank you so much for Sharing it, Pastor Rick. I think it's vital to understand that no one should be expected to ignore problems they encounter or always act as though bad things and bad people don't exist. It is quite normal to experience pain, fear, and frustration. What makes the life-changing difference, as pointed out in this video, is to Not stay in that dejected state. Do your best to keep your focus on what's Good and what can be done to make things better. And above all else, don't let Anybody steal your happiness!! It's very clear to me that far too many seem to be on a mission to do so.

[@rickytavilla4259]
