  • Counting Stars in an Empty Sky (Part 10)
    2026/01/30

    In this final message, Dr. Michael Youssef leads us to the mountain of ultimate testing—where Abraham is commanded to offer his beloved son, Isaac. From Genesis 22, we see not only Abraham’s unshakable obedience, but a prophetic picture of God’s own sacrifice: His Son, Jesus Christ, the true Lamb. This is the Ph.D. level of faith—a faith that does not waver, even when God’s commands seem to contradict His promises. Abraham’s obedience was prompt, willing, settled, and rewarded. And like Isaac, we too must be willing to lay down all. This episode calls believers to surrender every idol, trust God fully, and never lose sight of the cross—where God saw to it, and the Lamb was provided.

  • Counting Stars in an Empty Sky (Part 9)
    2026/01/29

    In this stirring message, Dr. Michael Youssef declares the faithfulness of the God who keeps His promises—no matter how long the delay. From Genesis 21, the long-awaited birth of Isaac proves that God is never late, and that nothing is impossible for Him. But Isaac’s birth was more than a personal victory for Abraham and Sarah—it pointed forward to the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ and even to our own spiritual rebirth. Just as Isaac was born by God’s power alone, so too we must be born again by the Holy Spirit. This episode calls every listener to repentance, to faith in Christ alone, and to rejoice in the unshakable joy that comes from trusting the Word of the Living God.

  • Counting Stars in an Empty Sky (Part 8)
    2026/01/28

    In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals the astonishing truth that Abraham was called a “friend of God”—not because he was flawless, but because he trusted God completely. Based on Genesis 18, Dr. Youssef shows how faith opens the door to intimate friendship with the Lord, marked by worship, obedience, intercession, and the courage to act. God confided in Abraham and answered his bold prayers for his rebellious family, reminding us that the Lord hears when His people pray. As our nation spirals in sin, God seeks faithful believers who will not settle for passivity but will stand in the gap. Friendship with God demands repentance, loyalty, and a life centered on Christ—no compromise.

  • Counting Stars in an Empty Sky (Part 7)
    2026/01/27


    In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef addresses the silence of God—not as absence, but as purposeful preparation. After Abraham's disobedience, God waited thirteen years before speaking again—thirteen years of silence that revealed the depth of God's mercy, testing, and precision. Through Genesis 17, Dr. Youssef reminds us that El Shaddai, the God of power and might, never abandons His covenant promises. But He calls us to respond with immediate obedience, not passive comfort. God does not accept substitutes or shortcuts—He demands full trust. Believers must not settle for second-best or live for self. This is a call to reject compromise, repent of complacency, and live boldly for Christ, trusting His perfect timing and plan.

  • Counting Stars in an Empty Sky (Part 6)
    2026/01/26

    In this sobering message, Dr. Michael Youssef warns of the danger of impatience with God’s promises. Abraham and Sarah—once full of faith—abandon trust and attempt to fulfill God’s plan in their own way. The result is generational pain that still affects the world today. Drawing from Genesis 16, Dr. Youssef boldly confronts the consequences of ignoring God’s Word and following cultural norms instead of Biblical truth. Yet even in failure, God’s mercy shines. He meets Hagar, the abandoned servant, and reveals Himself as the God who sees and hears. This episode is a call to repentance, to remain in the place of obedience, and to trust the Living God—even when His answer seems delayed.

  • Counting Stars in an Empty Sky (Part 5)
    2026/01/23

    In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals how God’s covenant with Abraham renews vision and strengthens weary faith. Though Abraham waited ten long years, God’s promise did not change—because His Word is eternal, His love is unearned, and His covenant is unilateral. Dr. Youssef boldly proclaims the Gospel: Jesus Christ alone bore the full weight of our sin, making the New Covenant by His blood—not with equals, but sinners in need of grace. The believer’s security rests not in emotion or effort, but in God’s unshakeable faithfulness. In a time when many distort grace, this message calls us to repentance, reverence, and renewed trust in the God who keeps His Word—no matter what.

  • Counting Stars in an Empty Sky (Part 4)
    2026/01/22

    In this bold message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the hidden fear that follows spiritual victory. After rescuing Lot and refusing the riches of Sodom, Abraham stands strong—yet fear quietly sets in. God answers with an unshakable promise: “Do not fear…I am your shield and your great reward” (Genesis 15:1). Dr. Youssef declares that courage flows from trusting the Living God, not wealth, success, or strength. Jesus Christ Himself is our protection and our reward. Though God’s promises may seem delayed, His Word never fails. Believers are called to repent of fear, intercede in prayer, and trust God fully—even when the stars cannot yet be seen.

  • Counting Stars in an Empty Sky (Part 3)
    2026/01/21

    In this sobering message, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the danger of drifting from faith into self-reliance. Using Abraham’s descent into Egypt, he warns that trusting human logic, resources, and convenience always leads away from God. Scripture is clear: covering sin brings loss, but confessing sin brings restoration. Abraham’s fear produced deception, shame, and rebuke—yet God, in mercy, pulled him back to Bethel. Dr. Youssef declares that only repentance and renewed worship restore broken fellowship. The blood of Jesus Christ alone cleanses sin and secures God’s promises. Believers are called to return to the heart of worship, intercede for renewal, and trust God’s power even in famine. Counting stars—when none are visible—leads upward and onward in faith.
