I was reading in the Bible and one translation says that Jesus said that if you publicly will acknowledge me before people, I will acknowledge you before my Father in heaven. So that is a big part of these meetings like Night of Hope, giving people an opportunity to publicly say, "Jesus, I believe you are the messiah, you're Christ, you're my Lord."
Joel OsteenPeople can call you many different things, but you are not what people call you. You are what you answer to.
Joel OsteenI think faith is incredible important because you will become overwhelmed with what's happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.
Joel OsteenIf itโs not meeting a need, turn it into a seed. Remember, we will reap what we sow. When you do good for other people, thatโs when God is going to make sure that His abundant blessings overtake you.
