The return of Christ is not a date to be calculated—but a command to be obeyed. In this urgent and theologically rich message, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the Biblical Truth behind Jesus’ words, “Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13). Drawing from history and Scripture, he exposes the deception of date-setting and calls believers to holy diligence, not idle speculation. Jesus demands action—faithful labor, sacrificial giving, and bold Gospel proclamation. There will be only two types of Christians in eternity: those who served the Kingdom and those who squandered their opportunities. Will you be found faithful when Christ returns? The time is now. Occupy till He comes.

In this final message of the series, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts one of the most misused verses in Scripture—“Judge not, lest you be judged.” Preaching from Matthew 7:1–12, he powerfully clarifies that Christ does not call us to ignore sin or false teaching, but to reject self-righteous, motive-based judgment. Only God knows the heart; our role is to judge actions with humility, after first repenting of our own sin. Dr. Youssef warns against the sin of self-righteousness, which blinds us to our need for grace and cripples our witness. Instead, he calls believers to righteous discernment, persistent prayer, and dependence on God’s mercy. This is true spiritual maturity—seeing clearly, judging carefully, and seeking God’s will above all.

In this critical message, Dr. Michael Youssef lays out the eternal consequences of our daily choices. Preaching from Matthew 6:19–34, he reveals four key decisions every believer must make: where to invest, what to value, whom to serve, and what ambition to pursue. Jesus makes it plain—your heart follows your treasure, your vision shapes your life, your master owns your soul, and your ambition directs your future. Dr. Youssef calls us to reject worldly self-indulgence and instead choose Christ, the only Master who saves, sustains, and secures us. When we place our trust in Him and invest in His Kingdom, fear and anxiety are replaced by peace. This is the way to true happiness—rooted in obedience to the Word and full allegiance to Jesus Christ.

In this sobering message, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the modern crisis of self-centeredness and its devastating effect on marriage. Preaching from Matthew 5:31–32, he confronts the lies of our culture and calls believers back to God's original design for marriage—a covenant between one man and one woman, bound by commitment and marked by grace. Divorce, once rare, is now normalized—even in the Church—because of hearts hardened by pride and selfishness. But Jesus demands more. He calls His followers to reject narcissism, embrace repentance, and pursue sacrificial love through the power of the Holy Spirit. Only when Christ is lifted high can a marriage reflect His glory and endure the storms of life.

In this uncompromising message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts today’s moral collapse with Jesus’ teaching from Matthew 5:27–30: “You shall not commit adultery.” Exposing the idolatry of sexual sin—even within the Church—he declares that God’s design for sex is a holy gift reserved for marriage between one man and one woman. Lust begins in the heart and must be mortified, not managed. With bold clarity, Dr. Youssef warns that unchecked temptation leads to destruction, but repentance brings restoration. Only the power of the Holy Spirit can enable believers to pursue purity, deny self, and live under Christ’s righteousness. God’s grace is sufficient to cleanse every sinner who turns to Him in faith and repentance.

In this convicting message, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the destructive power of unrighteous anger and calls believers to repentance and restoration through Christ. Preaching from Matthew 5:21–26, he reveals that anger begins in the heart long before it erupts into outward sin—and unless it is confessed and surrendered to Jesus, it poisons the soul, desecrates worship, and devastates relationships. True righteousness is not external performance but inward transformation by the Holy Spirit. Dr. Youssef contrasts sinful rage with righteous anger that defends God’s Truth and justice while remaining free of hatred. Urging believers to forgive quickly and uproot bitterness, he reminds us that unresolved anger grieves the Spirit and hinders our prayers—but repentance restores peace and power in Christ.

In this bold message, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims that Jesus did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and only in Him can we be made righteous. Preaching from Matthew 5:17–20, Dr. Youssef affirms that God the Father authored the Law, God the Son authenticated it through His perfect obedience, and God the Holy Spirit empowers believers not to reject it but to uphold its moral demands. The Law reveals our sin, but only Christ provides the righteousness God requires—righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees. Dr. Youssef warns against false teaching that seeks to unhitch from the Old Testament and urges all to cling to Christ alone, whose robe of righteousness is our only hope for Heaven.

In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims Jesus’ command that His followers must be the light of the world—a visible, guiding, and warning light shining in a darkened age. Drawing from Matthew 5:14–16, Dr. Youssef calls believers to live openly for Christ, illuminating truth through holy living and bold witness. True light does not hide in comfort or fear but exposes sin, reveals the way of salvation, and points others to the glory of the Father. Yet many reject that light, preferring darkness to repentance. With urgency and compassion, Dr. Youssef warns that only those who reflect the radiance of Christ—the Light of the World—will lead others out of darkness and into eternal life.
