Setbacks are a stepping stone to get you where God wants you to be. In this message, Pastor Rick continues to look at the life of Joseph and how he handled setbacks. You’ll see that God has a plan for your life and, if you don’t give up when you have setbacks, he will get you in position to fulfill your purpose.

God wants to know if you will depend on his presence like Joseph did, whether you’re in the pit or the prison or the palace. Pastor Rick teaches in this message how to handle one setback after another by having the kind of faith Joseph had, no matter the circumstances.

Nothing you do is private. You have an audience in heaven! That should encourage you, because it means you have a cheering section that doesn’t want you to give up. Pastor Rick explains in this message how that “crowd of witnesses” helps us “run with endurance the race God has set before us” (Hebrews 12:1 NLT).

Have you noticed how discouragement sets in at the midpoint of almost anything you do? It’s true in parenting, marriage, school, and in your career. But God has called you to finish the race he has prepared for you—and to finish it well. Pastor Rick continues to teach in this message from the life of Nehemiah about how to keep going when you feel like giving up.

If you’re discouraged because something is taking longer or is more complicated than expected, then you may start to doubt yourself and get discouraged. As Pastor Rick looks at Nehemiah’s efforts to rebuild Jerusalem after the Israelites’ returned from captivity, he’ll explain what Nehemiah did at the halfway point of the project to keep people from becoming discouraged.

At the time Jeremiah wrote Lamentations, he was emotionally exhausted and for an entire book of the Bible released his frustrations to God. He wrote, “Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this” (Lamentations 3:21 NLT). Pastor Rick explains in this message what gave Jeremiah hope during this difficult time that can also help you in your setback.

When Elijah faced emotional exhaustion, God led him to do three things that helped him recover—and they’re the same things that can help you recover, too, when you’re at the end of your rope. Join Pastor Rick as he continues to teach lessons from Elijah’s experience with setbacks.

After a highlight in his ministry, Elijah, one of the most important prophets in Israel’s history, began a downward spiral of emotional exhaustion. In this message, Pastor Rick shows you how to keep your eyes open for 10 indications of emotional exhaustion from Elijah’s experience.
