In his series, Looking Up When Life’s Got You Down, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that we do not have to become disillusioned with life because God has a tremendous plan in mind for our lives. He can turn even the most difficult circumstances into places of blessing. Using the life of the Apostle Paul as a framework for the series, Dr. Youssef reminds us that the God of all comfort will meet every need we have.

In All Roads Lead to Rome, Dr. Michael Youssef closes the series with a powerful reminder: it is not enough to start well—you must finish well. Preaching from Acts 28, he shows how the Apostle Paul, though bound by chains, was never bound in spirit. Paul faced fierce opposition, constant obstacles, and years of imprisonment, yet he remained obedient to Christ and finished strong. Dr. Youssef calls believers to reject compromise and live with unwavering obedience, knowing that the Gospel cannot be silenced. Whether in freedom or in prison, obedience brings blessing and advances God’s Kingdom. The call is clear: no matter the cost, finish well—for the glory of Christ and the salvation of souls.
