In his series, Looking Up When Life’s Got You Down, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that we do not have to become disillusioned with life because God has a tremendous plan in mind for our lives. He can turn even the most difficult circumstances into places of blessing. Using the life of the Apostle Paul as a framework for the series, Dr. Youssef reminds us that the God of all comfort will meet every need we have.

In The Testimony that Shook Up the King, Dr. Michael Youssef declares with urgency that God has a clear, sovereign vision for every believer’s life—one that cannot be thwarted by obstacles, inadequacies, or opposition. Preaching from Acts 26, Dr. Youssef shows how the Apostle Paul, even after years of imprisonment and suffering, stood boldly before King Agrippa to proclaim the risen Christ. This was the fulfillment of God’s vision declared in Acts 9:15—that Paul would testify before kings. The same God who gave Paul a purpose before the foundation of the world has a vision for you. But you must repent of self-centered living, reject fear and doubt, and trust God’s plan—even when the path is hard.
