Pastor Bobby teaches that when we experience disappointments, we grieve them and move forward with today’s message: “How to Deal with Disappointing News.”

Please show “The Blessing” again. That was beautiful. Beautiful music is so hard to find anymore. Also thank you for this message. I am going through a rough time and needed to know about moving forward instead on on. Thank you.
The program today 8/9 was just what I needed. I lost my son, Jeffrey in 2016 to bone cancer at age 55 and my daughter, Sharon 1 week before Mother’s Day, 5/5 of 2019 to a massive heart attack at age 61. I am not moving on, however, I am moving forward. I lived in Charlotte, NC for 12 years but have now returned home to Pennsylvania where I still have a son, Patrick and other family members. I have moved forward and hope to continue doing just that every day. The way the choir was presented was awesome. They never disappoint. Bobby, I have been watching Hour of Power since the beginning and hope to continue until the Lord calls me home. Keep doing what you do, love the sermons. You have such a beautiful family. You and I are truly blessed.
Bobby thanks so much dor the timely and pithy message on Moving forward. the illustration of the wall being a tree, the story of James Stockdale and his leadership though terrible times in prison and yes, the role of the optimist who might not be a realist and know how to eat the days one at a time…, I might be called a down player person but I think ahead as to what if, and sometimes that bugs people.
And i really enjoyed the choir members, in their choir T-shirts and their own backgrounds. The virtual choir videos have been a blessing in other ways than in a larger setting and their robes.
