Looking Up, Not Out

Hello, friend! When life turns sour—when you’ve been betrayed, abandoned, or treated unfairly—the natural human response is to look out at those who hurt you. We look out with eyes full of anger, bitterness, and a desire for some kind of revenge. But in this video, we look at the life of Joseph, a man who had every reason to be bitter, yet we find no signs of it in his heart.

How did he do it? Joseph learned the secret of looking up instead of looking out. He never lost sight of the fact that God was still at work, even in the pit and even in the prison. If you are struggling with a sense of injustice today, I want to encourage you to watch this story. It’s time to stop focusing on the circumstances around you and start focusing on the God who is above you.

From Promise to Presence

Everlasting Light: A Journey from Promise to Presence

From December 1 to 25, let the advent devotional Everlasting Light move you into a spirit of waiting, reflection, and preparation for Christ’s arrival.

Written by our Spanish pastor Carlos Zazueta (and also available in Spanish), this book includes quotes from Pastor Chuck to recenter your heart each day.

I've been listening to the story of Jonah, particularly of his stubbornness and his disobedience. Pastor Chuck, I was acting like Jonah, and I am stubborn. When I decided to obey, God was there. I believe that God wanted me to experience the blessing of obedience. Thank you for your teachings. God bless you always. —C. G.
