In this opening message of Spirituality That Heals, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the modern distortion of love and restores its true, biblical meaning. Teaching from Galatians 5:22–23, he shows that love—the first fruit of the Spirit—is not mere emotion or tolerance but self-giving action modeled by Christ Himself. True biblical love is most visible not in comfort but in conflict, sacrifice, and forgiveness. Dr. Youssef challenges believers to repent of counterfeit love, to be filled daily with the Holy Spirit, and to let Christ love others through them—even when hurt, rejected, or criticized—so that the Church becomes a living witness to God’s redeeming power.

In this compelling message, Dr. Michael A. Youssef unpacks Matthew 16:13–20, where Peter boldly declares Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Dr. Youssef explains that the Church is not built on institutions but on the unshakable Truth that Jesus alone is the way to salvation. Preaching from Caesarea Philippi—a place once devoted to false gods—he contrasts counterfeit religions with the eternal authority of Christ. He warns against modern confusion that denies Jesus’ exclusivity and calls believers to proclaim the Truth with courage.

Because Christ has conquered sin and death, the gates of Hell can never prevail against His Church.

In All Roads Lead to Rome, Dr. Michael Youssef closes the series with a powerful reminder: it is not enough to start well—you must finish well. Preaching from Acts 28, he shows how the Apostle Paul, though bound by chains, was never bound in spirit. Paul faced fierce opposition, constant obstacles, and years of imprisonment, yet he remained obedient to Christ and finished strong. Dr. Youssef calls believers to reject compromise and live with unwavering obedience, knowing that the Gospel cannot be silenced. Whether in freedom or in prison, obedience brings blessing and advances God’s Kingdom. The call is clear: no matter the cost, finish well—for the glory of Christ and the salvation of souls.

In Yesterday’s Lesson for Today, Dr. Michael Youssef urges believers to reject the shallow comforts of modern Christianity and return to the unchanging truth of God’s Word. Preaching from Acts 20, he shows how the Apostle Paul lived with unwavering obedience, bold witness, and tear-filled urgency. Paul’s life was a living sermon—his walk matched his talk. Dr. Youssef warns that wolves are not only outside the church but sitting within, seeking to devour the undiscerning. We must be vigilant—over our homes, pulpits, and hearts. The Gospel never changes, no matter how loud the world shouts. Now is the time to repent, intercede, and stand firm—for ourselves and for the next generation.

In Freedom, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly declares that true liberty is found only in surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Preaching from Acts 19, he exposes the lie of worldly freedom—a life unrestrained by God’s Word—as slavery to sin and Satan. True believers are called to live boldly, discerning truth from error, and refusing to be intimidated by evil. But this freedom demands full repentance—not halfway living or Sunday-only religion. Dr. Youssef warns that partial obedience is rebellion in disguise. Just as the Ephesians burned their occult treasures, we too must destroy every idol and submit fully to Christ. The freedom Christ offers is not permission to sin—but power to overcome.
