Your Past Doesn’t Get The Final Say | Steven Furtick

The labels we accept can shape our lives. You may have labeled yourself by your mistakes, your failures, your fears, or your past, but God doesn’t see you that way. If you’ve been struggling to believe there’s more ahead for you, this message will remind you that God’s promises — not your past — get the final say in your future.

You are more than a conqueror (Romans 8, verse 37)
You are the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5, verse 21)
You are chosen (Ephesians 1, verse 4)
You are forgiven (Ephesians 1, verse 7)
You are God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2, verse 10)
You are God’s child (John 1, verse 12)
You are loved (Romans 5, verse 8)

Worry Is Wasted Energy | Steven Furtick

Worry has a way of pulling us into imaginary futures that steal our present peace. If you’ve been battling anxiety, fear of the future, or constant “what if” thinking, discover how God invites you to stop living in imagined scenarios and start finding peace in His presence, one day at a time.

What if you’ve been asking the wrong question? Instead of living in:

What if I fail?
What if I’m not enough?
What if I make the wrong decision?
What if it doesn’t work out?
What if God doesn’t come through?
What if it’s too late?

Start focusing on what God has already given you for today.

God Won’t Rush Your Provision | Steven Furtick

Waiting on God can be frustrating, especially when you need answers, provision, or breakthrough right now. But what if God’s timing isn’t delaying your life — what if it’s teaching you to depend on Him one day at a time? If you’ve been wondering why your prayers seem unanswered, this message will remind you that God’s provision is always on time.

“This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’”

Fear. Anxiety. Shame. Get Out. | Steven Furtick

Fear, anxiety, and shame have a way of making us believe they’ll always have the final say. But what if freedom doesn’t begin with trying harder? What if it begins with letting God into the places you’ve been trying to handle on your own? If you’ve been feeling weighed down by fear, this message will remind you God’s presence is greater than anything trying to hold you captive.

“I know who I am
But I can’t stay where I’m at
We’ve come this far by faith
And I just can’t turn back
‘Cause He’s not done with me yet
He’s not done with me yet
There’s so much more to this story
You’re not done with me yet”

– Lyrics from “More Than Able” by Elevation Worship
