  • In this message, we’re digging into a subject that hits close to home for many people. In fact, it’s one of the biggest reasons people leave the church-hypocrisy. We’re talking about what to do when Christians let you down and how you can heal from past hurts.
    ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
    It’s easy to think of doubt as a sign of weak faith. But it’s not. God isn’t afraid of our doubts, so we don’t have to be either. In our new series, Doubting God, we’re creating a space for the questions we’ve been afraid to ask. Together, let's discover how doubt can actually build our faith.
    WE’RE OPEN

But, I've learned He is always willing to help us and His love compels us to do right, and it does. Jesus is my whole world and the only way to live as I've gotten to learn the hard way. Glad you came back to Jesus, He won't let us down.

This is why I pray continuously for God to change our hearts. This is why it's important to forgive and pray for others so that they may be changed.

None of us are perfect n only God can change us!! I choose to forgive them coz Christ has forgiven me million times. Plz pray for me y'all. I need God to be the centre of my life always. Have had a very challenging life since last year. God bless you all.

    I am not a guy that speaks out when i hurt or when in need help. For the last year and half i didn't want to go to church. I felt people judge me. I kept my family from the church because i was scared to by judge by people. This week me and a friend had a chat about church and me being scared. He said i should pray and ask God to take away this feelings. So Today i called the family together to watch life church. Reason is every morning before i go to work i watch you tube life church. I felt today that we all should watch together " the first time i ever did something like this" and all i can say is thank you. This was like Jesus was given me a answer in this service and the God was speaking directly to me. I have never done something like this with my family. We dont stay in the usa. We watched at 19:00. This was not planned it just happened.Thank you for giving me as a father and husband hope that i can still take my family to church and that we are there for jesus not the people. This message was like massive release. I cant explain it.

    I absolutely hate when Christians say “I love you with the love of the Lord”. Enough said. The church is supposed to be a hospital for hurting people, where healing should take place, but some of the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life have been in the church by Christians. Thankfully, My Lord gave me the strength to forgive and not let it get down in my heart turning into bitterness and resentment.

    Growing up, I left church because I was tired of those I went to church with. Seeing their nasty sides, their hypocrisy, their excuses. It’s taken me a lot of time to get to where I am where I finally am mature enough to realize, I shoved God away, punishing God for the mistakes of human people. We all make mistakes, yet I punished the only person who could forgive me for mine. I have been watching your channel for a month or so now, and you have taught me more about being the Christian I hope to be. You are honest, raw, and upfront. Something I’ve never seen in church before. I may not go to a psychical building on Sundays, but your channel and preaching has brought me closer to God than I have ever been. Thank you immensely for your teachings and honesty.

    "No matter how mature you are, you're still vulnerable, and the moment you think you're not, you're even more vulnerable. Be careful when you think you are not vulnerable to temptation because pride always comes before a fall". Yes it is very true, and even the Bible confirms: "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall."
    1 Corinthians:10:12. May God help us so we do not let those that are watching us down, and may we always be role models to the new convert or to other Christ followers. Amen!

    My immediate neighbour from the same church threw our rubbish bin into the compound of my house, about three days after my dad had passed on. Later in that same year, my church leader said that since i was not in fellowship with my brothers and sisters in the same community where i live, i should not receive Holy Communion. You see...i have an OCD problem and people don't come to my house. And I made sure my church leader know this. He still said what he said. This really jolted me. People of faith saying and doing hypocritical things. And I was just baptused not too long ago. However, the Holy Spirit taught me to not focus on the people in the church, no matter how high a position they hold. Just fix your eyes on Jesus. And that works!

    When I watched this video for the first time, I was in a really bad place. I was hurt from someone in our church. I didn't want to go there anymore because I was scared but at the same time I wanted to hear gods word. I hoped that it would help me through it like it has in the past. So I went looking an youtube and I found this video. While I watched it, I started to cry. I watched it so many times now and it is really helping me. In our church I miss that feeling that people from our church aren't perfect. They always taked about how bad it is what others do but never admit that they make mistakes too. That's why I love this videos. They are based on life experience and he admits that the people from church aren't better as others because they are still human. I so needed to hear that and finally I can sleep again at night. thank you

    Studies show most of us have a ‘father wound’ or ‘parent wound.’ I cannot say I have a ‘father wound’ but if my dad were still alive he could claim many ‘son wounds’. All of us have the tendency to issue ‘wounds’ to others in our words, actions, demeanor etc. As I press forward to the high calling of Christ Jesus I pray I learn from every step forward to repent from issuing ‘wounds’ of any type particularly those that could cause others to turn their hearts away from Jesus. The old WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) is more relevant to me now than ever before.

    I have been a believer my entire adult life. I have encountered more non-believers with vompassion and empathy than those I once considered my brethren in the faith.
    When I came to faith I thought I had found a family. I have learned that was all talk. Very few Christians are truly Christ Like as we are called to be.

Every church is full of imperfect people. I definitely do miss Craig's messages. I didn't realize how much I missed it until now. I'm glad for the abilities of technology to watch online.

Craig Groeschel & Life Church *4 This Powerful, Blessful, Deep Sermon on "When Christians Let Yu Down" Where I Have Learnt That Where I Have Learnt That The Reason Christians Let Us Down Is Because:- 1. Some Christians Say That They're Christians But Don't Practice What They Preach, 2. Some Christians are Not Mature, 3. Some Christians Say That They're Christians But Not Mature & 4. Some Christians Don't Practice What They Preach 4 In Whatsoever We Do, We Must Do It In The Name of The Lord & Not Men & In Whatsoever We Do Whether Eating or Drinking Must Do 4 The Glory of God Where We Must Not Conform 2 The Patterns of This World But Be Transformed By The Renewal of Our Minds That We May Know That Good, That Perfect & That Acceptable Will of God Written In Colossians 3:23, 1st Corinthians 10:31 & Romans 12:2 Where We Christians Must Preach Jesus Christ & Practice What Our Great LORD Jesus Christ Did* & God Bless Yu Pst.

    Your heart is right because even though you’ve messed up you have a repentant heart. I feel most people can understand that and find forgiveness in they’re hearts. The bigger problem is the lack of accountability in the leadership of these (most) churches. That the leaders don’t have a repentant heart. How are people supposed to go back and trust when nothing was done to correct it. I don’t believe people are leaving because a “Christian” let them down. It’s 80% because the leaders abused their power and nothing was done to address it and people keep going like nothing happened.

    Oh brother you were stepping all over my toes today numerous times and I wore my nice shoes. I'm that guy. I see the news, I judge the church based on the actions of the few. I always felt out of place and anxious in church. Today I was slapped in the face with the reality of... it's the people that let me down not God. I was at the McKinney campus, came with my mother and father in law for mother's day, typically I would have declined and just met them for lunch. Today was eye opening and very personal. Thank you.

However, just yesterday, her execution was suspended, saving her just two days before she was sentenced to die. She will have another trial soon, one likely pronouncing her innocent.

    If we walk as Jesus walked and live the way the Bible says to live the world will be a better place. Practice makes perfect that’s why God gave us day after day after day to keep practicing. Try your hardest to sin less the older one gets this way more and more people will want to do as you do and would want to have what one have but if we continue to sin thinking that Jesus is always going to forgive us, is almost scary because a non believer can not see Jesus but can see a human and if we represent Jesus wrong more and more people will keep thinking that is ok to sin, it’s ok to go to church one day of the week and curse the world over and over again. Please practice to be better spiritually guided people. We are Gods representative if you claim to be holy so holy I pray that you are representing Jesus on your daily walk to win more and more people for the glory of God. Amen.

They all have the holy spirit and jesus say forgive 77 times i have decided to love them all afar and pray for them. we are in spiritual warfare its very real but ive decided to be set apart what makes it worse they have holy spirit but let the flesh take over more it seems to be every person i meet my spirit just wants a friend who loves GOD and yes we all have problems its life but not to let problems take over our lifes for months down the line with nothing changing ive had and took enough forgive me yahusha and show me if i doing enything wrong.
