LIVING WITH JOY - Francis Chan

Francis Chan Crazy Love

[@sharondodge]

There is a huge difference in being happy and rejoicing. Once you realize that, life is so wonderful. I am not happy that my niece lost her baby, but I rejoice that God makes the best decision for us. It's not about circumstance. It's about bringing glory to God in all situations.

[@Becca_Lynn]

Sharon Dodge Amen.

[@bernardocarlo4608]

Amen brother

[@nicollejones9671]

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

[@soaronwings7789]

Thinking the same thing! So relevant.

[@augustinesalt1291]

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 !

[@TheLovehate09]

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 🙏🏾❤️

[@kfcfunera1]

I watched this whole video with a smile on my face. These principles bring such peace.

[@lukasasanovic7317]

This came at the exactly perfect time for me! Thank you Jesus Christ for all you have done! Thank you for saving me! All glory to God🙏🏻

[@InYahushua]

This is totally refreshing after watching a video that could have gotten my attitude into grief, fear, & pain. "Think on what is lovely" and "REJOICE" gets my focus back on Jesus/Yeshua. THANKS!!!

[@connorkentway586]

Francis Chan one of the best pastor in the world ^^

[@nneoma1027]

by the grace of God.

[@yieldedvessel916]

This is a good message, worth listening to more than once.

[@andrevorster4007]

Wow i am grateful for the glory of GOD. i am guilty in stressing and now i will rejoice because i know i can truly really on Him

[@PeaceFan1]

KEEP PREACHING Francis!! JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!!!!

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

I want the world to know God is my Dad

[@MNSCRPT]

what an incredible message praise Jesus!

[@michaeldamon439]

What an amazing message. Thank you Francis, and thank you Jesus. I trust you! Amen!

[@acelourdesenriquez1254]

newbornace We are bless that our LORD is sending people like Francis, to light our path on our journey in this world with JOY and laughter, making the load much lighter. My family and I are so blessed on how HE use Francis and his family in bringing HIS message in our home. All Praise and Glory to the "MOST HIGH"

[@christianlovelace8323]

We must remember that even though Francis is a great preacher, he shouldn't be the center of attention in our lives; we are to love everyone; but love God above all else.

[@westoftherockies]

he's a false teacher

[@JfaJosephR9]

alizarin alexander how so

[@westoftherockies]

really? well is a person saved by "giving their best to God"? yes or no

[@westoftherockies]

ROFL, you're not sav ed by loving God, anyone can claim that, muslims, jews, mormons etc, a person is not saved by loving God...do you ever even read the bible? it doesn't seem you read much of it and francis chan isn't a gospel preacher, he's a false gospel preacher, when he says things like "i'm afraid some of you are going to hell because you haven't given God your best" thats a BS statement, a false unbiblical statement, this is why the bible says someone goes to hell >>> Joh 3:18 but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. it doens't say he who hasn't given his best to God, there is no such thing as salvation by mans works, the works that save is christ works, like it teaches in james, if you're not trusting in christ work your faith is dead, the bible is very clear NOT OF WORKS WE HAVE DONE >>> Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done 2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, NOT ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS a believer has CEASED from their own works >>> Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath CEASED FROM HIS OWN WORKS see this is the problem when you listen to false teachers like francis chan, you end up mixing mans works with christ works and only one saves.

[@hollymohler9028]

alizarin talk down much? Francis was merely referring to not seeing fruits..if you see none then no salvation.. you must follow that false teacher I believe his name is Steven Anderson who says believe believe believe believe only believe.. well do the demons not believe and they tremble? That believe only gospel that you speak of is for people who need their ears tickled and all's I have to do is believe and live anyway I want to..furthermore why doesJesus command us to love the Lord with all your heart.mind and soul..is that ONLY believing?.. I look forward to your condescending response

[@PrincessitaLatina123]

Wooww!! Just listening the whole video with a big smile on my face makes me realize so many things and relax about all the problems that I have!! God, our Father, is Amanzing!! Thank you Jesus for loving mee :)

[@timothymccrary1462]

A promise and a command : Your teaching brought this scripture to me. Forgive me l am impulsive.:::::: Did l not command you. Be strong be courageous. Do not be discouraged do not be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.. Thank you Sir

[@JanetCourtneyJCInteriors]

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....❤️

[@Jesuscares7680]

I wait each day for his return..😇

[@JANET-lm8lc]

Wow!!!!!! This hit me! Praise you God for the message!

[@myra7730]

You are a blessing. I have that peace for myself, but my heart breaks for the pain of others.

[@kellylinse886]

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

[@tammyjohnson2154]

I am sharing this with everyone I know. We can't lose this message, especially now when there are so many troubles distracting us from our peace.

[@MrJuliusfrancis]

Rejoice in the Lord always... and again I say rejoice!...

[@churchtroll]

Joy...and laughter! He is always so joyfully funny! God is good! Rejoice because of Him!

[@childoGod77]

I watched the video with Clayton speaking, he's was very courageous God bless him. I hope to have the same courage and faith!

[@boredclaudia]

LOVED. IT. spent hours talking about this sermon with my mom :) it is such a refreshing sermon...

[@ProclaimIt]

Holy Spirit, we plead with you to enable us to live this way!

[@jesssesgirlkerri1468]

Thanks I loved this pearl!

[@bernardocarlo4608]

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.

[@TiffanyJadeW]

Just what I needed to hear.

[@ronahrollan8343]

my classmate actually complained (we were dealing with this project that seems very complicated, it's running a software and we don't even know the basics haahaha) when i said naaa, we can do this, God's gonna help us. and she was like ohhhh! stop giving God your problems, He already got so much problems to deal with! and i was like whaaaaaaaat? but i just actually told her that that's so impossible bc i depend everything to Him. and she just went silent. i believe she's goin to know the ALMIGHTY GOD.

[@comelacuy]

9:40 "What is it that You Have???" This Joy!!! Do others say I want that? I want that Joy that you have.... I want to know what it is that you have that will never let you lose your Joy...Preach brother

[@JustinKortuem]

"The Glory of God is man fully alive" Saint Irenaeus

[@indigopursue1542]

Thankyou Francis Chan🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@freewaylee]

Watched 13 minutes and felt like 30 minutes. I say this out if gratefulness as Pastor Chan has more substance in 10 minutes than most can provide in an hour. Praises to Pastor Chan.

[@barbaramariemua]

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...

[@TabithaDavis]

He's hilarious! Great message!

[@jre0714]

100th Like! Yay! Thank the Lord for allowing us to be who we are and to trust in Him always!

[@beijingkoala4]

I so needed this!

[@annaleonardo1651]

Praise be to God!!!!

[@michaella5110]

Thank you for the wonderful message.

[@keroloussamaan3581]

i love this! i was like soo happy when i finished watching this :)))

[@marilynbinay8880]

AMEN.

[@hisloveiseternal1]

i was so happy to watch this video. it really opened my eyes. thank you ^^

[@josephmiller1224]

Yes, a great sermon. An eye opening sermon.

[@chibaby0306]

Thank you Lord!!!!!!!

[@frankfernandes595]

God bless YOU

[@tonypino5415]

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

[@arbretree5463]

Amen!! This is so true!

[@linamelodie5518]

The doubt i give God after a prayer is the selfishness that makes me think i could do it better if i hadnt given it to God. I need to trust him nd put it in his hands soley

[@jasminewright3198]

Lina Melodie I can relate to this. King of the world by Natalie Grant is a great song to listen to. God is bigger than our problems and sometimes we forget that. We think we have it all figured out but His plans are greater than ours. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

[@OniiChanPls]

I feel like half this sermon is on joy and the other is on peace haha

[@Devazwill]

YES!

[@jcchoong]

Amen

[@joan0203]

Amen!!! :)

[@Tim_ArtistName_Tallent]

Someone needs to Make a Francis Chan mash up video of his jokes and funny moments 😂😂 . Anyway, super powerful message once again thanks brother Chan

[@cindytaylor5884]

I do believe through faith and scripture that we glorify God when we are joyful and peaceful. This is my struggle because we don’t know how God will answer our prayers and if God says “no” or does not answer prayers in a way that brings great sorrow and grief especially when it comes to our loved ones eternal souls it is hard to be joyful when God of all love doesn’t love those he has given you to love?????

[@codizzle8cheah]

UN REAL !!!!! Praise God!

[@beadwired]

#PreachIT 🙏💕

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

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

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

The peace of God

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

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

[@roseealves5110]

About time

[@tonypino5415]

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!

[@djgats9479]

amen

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

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

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

People should not understand why I am so much at peace

[@JD_Phoenix]

I wish i could think this way but im too concerned with daily events and politics, military, and the economy. And living life in Gods name. And enjoy and protect his gift of life. I dont love life more then God but its like a gift from your parents on Christmas that was worth alot and very special wouldnt you use it alot and keep it safe etc etc. I want to be a Marine and marry a great woman. Maybe go into Politics and help my people and give my children and children's children hope and freedom in their lives.

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

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

[@Awnfire4God]

Y'all are so wrong for not letting us here the song I was ready to praise and worship lol

[@Drumms247]

17:22 powerful!

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

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

[@BYUN_DAVID]

💪

[@theotherme4120]

Jesus, The only God-man!

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

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

[@sunmolaoluwaseun7922]

What do you dwell on all day?

[@jwilcollective816]

I mostly dwell on things that bring peace. At least I try to. If you have time, please listen to my new song honoring the Lord. Tell me what you think kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKDSq6lueq6UZqM

[@theotherme4120]

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

[@Xilosphere]

Fairy tales never cease to amaze! Praise logic!

[@jo-retharossouw6459]

Does anyone know what song he is speaking about at the very end? I would love to hear it! A name? Artist? Link? please...

[@vincentkwong6349]

how can I keep from singing by Chris Tomlin

[@aussj4link]

Rational thinkers for one.

[@Mybeardisfrozen]

1 UNLIKE?? Who the fuck wouldn't like this guy???

[@lewisdenise241]

I agree with you. however as a Christian I cant believe you could have made your point and left the F bomb out

[@Shipwrecked85]

People are not ment to be happy all the time. Were not anything all the time.

[@khortz77]

NailDirt Jesus wept. God grieved.

[@Shipwrecked85]

hap·py Adjective Feeling or showing pleasure or contentment. rejoicing Verb Feel or show great joy or delight. Giveing gtG in all situations makes doing so seem like a moot point. Genocide? No.

[@roseealves5110]

Where is the vers?

[@SiIverxLight]

And what's funny about that is...where did we get the tap water? :]

[@JD_Phoenix]

Does anyone have any advice?

[@yojoeo9067]

If you are talking about joy, I recommend psalm 16:11

[@thethikboy]

The 'joy' is quickly canceled by Jesus demand that we do the same thing - That we accept all the brutalities of the world in complete forgiveness - the difference of course is that God can't really be hurt like us - so its nothing for him to forgive.

[@evelynreed9802]

Thinking too much like a finite man rooted in the seen of this deceived & perverted world system. Truth, love & peace can only be found in God who is outside time & falsehoods. God is a person who loves. He loves because that is who He is. He is willing to suffer (yes He feels great pain because He really loves & cares & wants the best for each person He created uniquely for His purpose to be a benefit to others & the world), for a time, in order to obtain that which He seeks; a people, who choose to love Him back, who choose to put Him first bc they trust & believe in His loving & truthful attributes. For these He will provide everything they need to be with Him now & forever in a new & perfect world. For this sure hope we can be grateful & live joyfully no matter what is happening (in the short term) around them. Step out of the dark into His light so you can see the truth & live expectantly in great joy! He loves you now even though you don't want to know or honor Him. Love will not use force to gain love. Love can only be given freely. Freedom to choose is essential. This world provides a clear choice 1) choose the world system which is against God & full of confusion, chaos, deceptions, anger & hateful control tactics for the greater good or 2) choose God's eternal system of love, truth, freedom, justice & order peace. God's system can be found by the heart yearning to find it- a righteous kingdom of true purpose & value beyond the utilitarian use & dictates of the worldly operational system now in place. God bless you.

[@prayerangel1]

Oh, if only preachers would preach this way in every church in the world! I've seen so many Christians profess Christ but live in misery..even had a preacher tell me he "suffered with depression"..really???? A preacher who battles depression???? What in the world is there to be depressed about when you have Jesus?? Jesus, people!!! Jesus Christ, the Savior of this world!!! You have Him, what else could you possibly ever need in your life but that???

[@Becca_Lynn]

Mountain Woman Depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain. That’s a different category than just choosing to be whiney or unjoyful. Please do not dismiss people’s mental illness, because it’s very real and outside of their control.

[@christopherdavidlunn8738]

Depression can be Rom the enemy and it can take time to recognise and react to that.

[@annaotto7256]

Mountain Woman as Christians we’re also called not to judge others. Sometimes people are afflicted with depression. BUT even in that we can still rejoice. Because joy is different from happiness. Happiness comes in moments but it is joy that sustains us. You can be sad and still have joy. Just like the father who lost his son. He most definitely sad but yet there is joy
