Joel Osteen | Lakewood Church Service | Don't Shrink Back

Описание: God knows what we need before we ask. He prepares our way, and He wants more for us than we want for ourselves. When we seek Him first, blessings rain down.

In this Sunday service from August 17, 2025, join us for worship and a hope-filled message from Joel. Look to God and rest assured—He won’t disappoint you.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” –Matthew 6:33, NKJV
