In his latest sermons, Joel Osteen has been encouraging his followers to trust in God’s plan and see beyond the logical. Some key messages:
- “God Knows The Big Picture” – Osteen reminds his audience that while life’s challenges may not make sense in the moment, God has a greater purpose
- “Today When God’s On Your Side” – Osteen preaches about the power of having faith in God, even when circumstances seem bleak
- “Resist the Urge” – In his July 11, 2024 daily devotional, Osteen encourages readers to resist the temptation to take matters into their own hands, and instead trust in God’s timing.
Osteen’s uplifting messages continue to resonate with his massive following at Lakewood Church in Houston. The megachurch made headlines in 2024 for opening its doors to provide shelter and relief during Hurricane Beryl, in contrast to criticism it faced for its response to Hurricane Harvey in 2017.Despite some past controversies, Joel Osteen remains one of the most influential and popular preachers today, using his platform to spread positivity and faith to millions worldwide through his sermons and best-selling books. His daughter Alexandra Osteen is also a rising star in the church.
