Every day i feel like his sermons could not possibly teach me more than they did the previous day while being Applicable and every day i am pleasantly surprised. Pastor Furtick has helped me grow so much in my relationship with God, I am so grateful!
I dont know how to share this message in a way it will reach you preacher, it I wanted to share this with you, I was an alcoholic for the better part of 10 years I was an alcoholic. I started watching your videos in early recovery. You inspired me so much. I want yo thank you for that. 1/17/20 I will have 1 year sober, by the grace of God. Since getting sober God has called me into the ministry. Your words are an inspiration. Thank you mr. Furtick
I have been binge watching the sermons of Elevation Church, I have even watched the Revival and I have learned so much and I have grown so much. Thank you!
I made a sacrifice today, I heard gods call while at my local library. I took a drive to cry, started breathing hard, and talking to god and made my sacrifice. Got home from my drive and was headed insides when I was drawn to this video and it changed the way I viewed my sacrifice. Thankyou. 6 years later and this message still resonates.
Reminds me of all the many four leafed clovers I find every year. If I keep them, they fade. If I give them away, they bring luck to the receiver. I always pass them on to pay them forward. 🍀
This Year has been crazy! This sermon had me in tears, because sometimes in the midst of all the mess you need to hear the Lords Message. This Pastor has taught me A LOT ! Im very thankful God bless him, his ministry and his family.
👏👏👏👏👏 the Holy Spirit speaks through pastor Steven. So he will always have words for the children of God. Hallelujah!!!!!! Thank You Jesus Christ. Giving is God's command! God Almighty bless you greatly Pastor Steven.
I was listening to this on podcast at work, and wasn't really paying attention. Until I heard "Why do they lift their hands? Does someone have a gun Regina?" Lol! I rarely hear my name anywhere, so it definitely caught my attention. And when I went back to listen to it again, what he said after that resonated deeply with me. So i thank God for getting my attention with Pastor Furtick's silly seemingly random use of the name 😊
@stevenfurtick first off I truly feel God speak when I listen to your sermons! I am divorced and drive 3-5 hrs twice a week to see my daughter and I listen to your sermons while I am driving. I am registering to start classes to pursue a calling in ministry. I know I'm not a renowned pastor or a scholar by any means but help any where in my book is help and is important, specially with a calling as high as you have. I noticed in this sermon you state that it's not recorded in Mark but it is in the other three Gospels, Mark, Matthew and, John. Just something I picked up on as I was diligently listening. Thank you for your work and I pray this not be seen as an bad thing but that it would be seen as one brother in Christ looking out for another. Thank you for your faith and continued work in the Lord. Blessings to you and your family. May God continue to use you in advancing the Kingdom of Heaven on earth!
Thank you, Pastor Steven. This is the best message about sacrifice I have ever heard. I am so thankful that I found your videos. I have been praying to God about how to talk about Him more without feeling awkward, and then I found Pastor Steven. Pastor Steven, you are so on fire for God and you don't even consider "dialing down" your excitement because it may make someone uncomfortable. You jump forward with both feet. I believe God is teaching me not to turn my testimony into fluff, but to be confident and assertive and spread the fire in my soul into my words. Thank you ❤️
Oh wow I’m in the same situation. I don’t want to feel awkward about taking Scott God or because I’m not some extremely knowledgeable person on all things God, if feel unworthy to speak in Him even though I’ve had so much experience with God and I’m learning Him more and more.
Beautiful devotion for today, I'm walking in the out of darkness 5k for suicide awareness. 33 years ago I found him hanging outside. Today I am finally able to say goodbye to the pain. Thank you Pastor Steven for your help in your sermons. The song by Cece Winnens will be playing in my play list.....I'm blessed
I wish he would come to San Antonio. I would love to hear him in person. Just watching him on here has been helping me. I never thought I'd be here in my life. Now I see myself wanting to get closer to God.
I am going through a hard time right but it's going to be ok. But I think it time to make another scarifice. I know he is working right now and close by I can feel it. I know even though this hard time I have received Blessing and I can feel a bigger blessing comimg I just need to hold my head up and pray and to give thanks. I just don't know when it will happen but that the beauty of it. Tfs for sharing this. God bless.
I am from San Bernardino Calif . . . . . Please Help Me !!!!! I have been a Christian since I was 19 years old and I HAVE NEVER HEARD TEACHING LIKE THIS !!!! Is there any Sister Churches out this way . . . I have a Church yet not sure that is the Church God wants me in ... I sit at work Listening to these teachings and WOW .... Ive learned so much It just makes me feel like I NEED MORE. . . THANK YOU Pastor Steven Furtick
One thing I’m sure don’t matter how old these messages are they are always new to and very fitting for that moment and every time I listen over and over again I thank GOD for his grace and mercy to still see me as his very special daughter to keep on teaching me when I don’t deserve his grace and mercy Bless pastor Steven furtick. But GOD
I Michael ask for forgiveness and thanks for today and I thank you for my family and friends in Jesus name amen lord give me strength wisdom and knowledge 🙏 I Michael need your presence and patience too get through this morning ☀️ lord all praise and glory to you in Jesus name I Michael pray amen
Hearing this sermon for the first time and it moved me, it's so applicable....as a new believer Pastor Steven Furtick does it for me....your sermons are improving my relationship with God so much
I have to give props to him for his devotion to preaching and speaking since i have only just realised he has a lisp. I know for some that can prevent them from doing public speaking and feeling confortable doing it. Great!
Thank you very much pastor for sharing the word of the Lord with us. I'm from all the way in south Africa and i find your messages very encouraging so thank you and and my our good Lord continue to bless you,your family and your congregation!!!
I look so forward to be able to give on 1 October. I would love to give now I just don’t have anything to give but myself to God until I get paid. But I’m joyfully going to get my sacrifice to the Lord
🙏 that my family the Lazaros will come out 👉 example experience exceed expectation like Elevation church 🙌 Happy Strengthened glorious Saturday and Salamat. ptr Steven 😍
God is so good 🥺 I was in so much conflict about my tithe and offering and I stumbled across this video, a messaged preached 4 years ago! Wow!! 🙌 👀 Thank you Pastor Steven Furtick for this blessed message. My heart has been touched. 💕😇🙏 I am truly in Awe of God. I am in tears. Love from Cape Town, South Africa. 🌍
Thank so much!!! I watch your sermons almost daily or at less every other day. You really have changed my life as a wife a mother and as a daughter to God!!!! Thank you!!
God is so good. I am so so grateful for this journey thus far. You and Holly and your family in elevation have been so warming and welcoming and I just love you guys so much in the name of Jesus. For the guidance and the encouragement and allowing God to work through you to others. Thank you Pastor Steven ❤️
This came right when I was struggling if i should give a certain some of money to my church. I was just not certain if God was calling me to do it or maybe it's just a passing thought in my mind. This message confirmed what I should do.
Pastor Stephen. Love messages ..Really speak to me and my heart. Helps to stay seeking to improve my foundation in my relationship with Jesus Christ.. Really love what Elevation does as a whole and wonderful music.. I may not be able to contribute monetarily at the moment.. Ive seeds in ground as we speak..Really appreciate the encouragement.. like lil statements that stick with me...let the dirt do its work... love it. God bless
Amen! Looking for a church to tithe to because I can't seem to find one that's anointed enough. One I agree with. I am beginning to consider you as my home church. Watching all the sermons daily and listening to the music all throughout my day at work. I'll pray about it.
This message resonated with what I was experiencing...I had already made a decision to give, then I started nursing misgivings about whether or not to fulfil it, I was contemplating whether I had made the wrong move. So I searched for a message on Sacrifice and stumbled on yours...Thank you Pst Steven, what a mind blowing revelation on Mary and the opportunity she seized to give back to Jesus. So now, I choose Faith over making any sense of my sacrifice and trusting that God will be pleased with me. Happy new year Elevation church! All the way from Nigeria
As a single mom of 3...I got to thinking, couldn't you give in more ways than financially? Time, energy, love, wisdom, compassion! There is so much that could be given. In my experience, money given to me wasn't always what I needed. What I needed was someone to be there. I'm not saying I dont give money to my church. I do when I can. I'm simply getting at when we give, we are to do it with the concept of not expecting anything in return. For those of us who work hard to barely make it, we end up giving money and later on in the week when we dont have enough gas in a car to make it until the next pay check, we regret giving that extra 40 that actually wasn't extra...we just left something out of our budget we didn't think was there. I dont regret that the money went towards Christ. I regret putting myself in a tight spot that effects my kids too because I felt an obligation to give money...a very evil thing indeed...to Christ. If we can't put money in the collection plate, we feel like we didn't give to God. But when I can be a shoulder for someone to cry on...I never regret giving them that. I never regret getting an opportunity to share the word of God to a person in need of his guide. I never regret doing his will to bring a person closer to Christ. I feel like I've done right by God when I spread his word. Even in the times I spread his word to a person who turns around and manipulates and lies about me. I gave my favorite bible to s woman who in return tore my entire relationship apart with my husband. I do not regret giving her that bible. I s as w the potential for her to be better through his word. One day she might open that bible and read something that opens her eyes to the hurt she has inflicted on someone and she might get down on her knees and pray to God for the forgiveness of the way she chose to live up until that point. And that moment might be the moment she changes her ways to serve God. So is money the only way to give? Just curious. Not putting your sermon down I love every sermon I've heard by you. "When anxiety attacks " was a huge one for me being to this day I no longer suffer from anxiety like I had up until that day. That sermon was the one that broke me and made me follow God in a way I never understood up until that day.
your church is awesome best church ever! well, passion city church is excellent too but they dont have evelation worship albums like wake up to the wonder- song #2 1 minute 30 seconds in beautiful, the entire album.
Hi pastor I'm say a bout sound I like always and sometimes I'm say I'm winner just one day because I know I bileve to my God but myb people's think me I'm tak bad 🙏🙏👍thank you
Definitely you know what you did wrong or right thing in your day to day life. That’s how you know it’s punishment or Will of God sacrifice in your life .
I don't think God ever passes over a punishment you deserved. We are all to ascend like jesus, and what you consider a punishment you deserve maybe that you are part of things you don't understand, and you are still as responsible as you ascend, like jesus. God may look at the situation and know that the situation is manipulated that you weren't to know. In this may you know, and in jesus name, amen.
Every day i feel like his sermons could not possibly teach me more than they did the previous day while being Applicable and every day i am pleasantly surprised. Pastor Furtick has helped me grow so much in my relationship with God, I am so grateful!
Meeeee toooo! I'm addicted, he changed my life! God bless you Steven, family & Elevation Ministries!
Agreed!💚
Love to you Pastor Steven
I dont know how to share this message in a way it will reach you preacher, it I wanted to share this with you, I was an alcoholic for the better part of 10 years I was an alcoholic. I started watching your videos in early recovery. You inspired me so much. I want yo thank you for that. 1/17/20 I will have 1 year sober, by the grace of God. Since getting sober God has called me into the ministry. Your words are an inspiration. Thank you mr. Furtick
You are truly anointed Pastor Steven
I have been binge watching the sermons of Elevation Church, I have even watched the Revival and I have learned so much and I have grown so much. Thank you!
I made a sacrifice today, I heard gods call while at my local library.
I took a drive to cry, started breathing hard, and talking to god and made my sacrifice.
Got home from my drive and was headed insides when I was drawn to this video and it changed the way I viewed my sacrifice. Thankyou. 6 years later and this message still resonates.
EVERY time I need it, these messages are on point!
good morning pastor let's go to work in the word of Jesus Christ all praise and glory too thee mighty father amen
Reminds me of all the many four leafed clovers I find every year. If I keep them, they fade. If I give them away, they bring luck to the receiver. I always pass them on to pay them forward. 🍀
This Year has been crazy! This sermon had me in tears, because sometimes in the midst of all the mess you need to hear the Lords Message. This Pastor has taught me A LOT ! Im very thankful God bless him, his ministry and his family.

How would you know when God has passed over a punishment that you deserved?
Definitely you know what you did wrong or right thing in your day to day life. That’s how you know it’s punishment or Will of God sacrifice in your life .
Eyerusalem Tilahun you make up your own reasoning lol
We need your sermons on PDF format pastor if possible 🙏🙏
Does a sacrifice includes sacrifice of our families too? Should my sacrifice effect my family and other people too?
WOWWWWWW

Where's does he preach I'd love to visit
Joline Charmant elevation church in North Carolina
I don't think God ever passes over a punishment you deserved. We are all to ascend like jesus, and what you consider a punishment you deserve maybe that you are part of things you don't understand, and you are still as responsible as you ascend, like jesus. God may look at the situation and know that the situation is manipulated that you weren't to know. In this may you know, and in jesus name, amen.
Does anyone know where the churches located ?
I love my people jesue walk and is gone and if he is her in who arthory
