There's More To The Story | Beyond | Pastor Steven Furtick

There's often more to the story than what meets the eye. But what about your story? See how God is still writing your story no matter what scene you find yourself in.

[@johnnykhenry364]

My scene couldn’t be uglier. The biggest struggle of my entire life. I’m 42. This isn’t going to be my story, by the grace of God. He has restored me to Him, and I know He will finish the work with my family.

[@monachauncey7772]

Join one sermon at the elevation church is on my bucket list❤

[@Ladyteeslove1]

When pastor gives you a word that gives you back that passion and tenacity to keep on with your story🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👌🏽😬 Omg he preached this right here today!

[@gabe4377]

What an amazing teaching! God is always for us. Gods power is released in our lives when we release Gods word (read and study your bible), sing Gods praise (don't just let it play in the background sing it with your heart), and spend time in meaningful prayer (not just for meals or going to bed and waking up). Not to be left out is giving, it is Gods true nature to give. If we are created in His image than giving should come naturally. Don't let the enemy tell you that giving isn't important. A sacrifice isn't a sacrifice unless it hurts to give it.

[@kayak_homie]

Four years ago I was at one of the worst points in my life, and the Lord gave me this sermon in the form of a random Instagram clip (I'd never heard of Elevation or followed anything similar). This sermon gave me hope and helped get me through that time, and my life is awesome now and I am beyond blessed. The Lord is great and I hope this sermon ushers other into different chapters of their lives and gives them peace and hope!

[@sergiohernan175]

I watch every single preach from Argentine. may God bless y'all

[@DRBella93]

Great Sermon Indeed!! ... he's getting a lot more theatrical in his preachin. But none the less great words so encouraging about going through tough times. definitely great sermon

[@sullyortiz6105]

May the Good Lord continue to bless you, Pastor, you are hands down the best preacher around. I love how enthusiastic you are about the stories in the Bible. I love how you make it so easy to understand what scripture is saying but more importantly, the way you paint a picture for us of the scene scripture is describing to us. The way you tell the story the way you pictured it happening in your mind and also throwing insignificant details in that dont take away from the scripture but instead help us to see a little movie clip in our own minds. You take it to the next level, you’re not simply reading a story in scripture, you are playing a movie for us to jump into and experience with our own senses, this is what I love about your preaching! This and the fact that you don’t stick to the same typical stories in the Bible, you use stories we have never even heard of, details we never payed attention to like the “Malta” story from Matthew. I truly thank God for leading me to you, Pastor, your sermons have brought me much hope. I am a struggling heroin addict. I am 28 years old, married, no children, I am scared that I am barren, my husband is also a heroin addict, we have literally been stuck in the same routine for 5 years at least, our lives revolve around getting heroin and getting high, I am so so tired. I want to go to rehab but I do not have private health insurance that would pay for inpatient rehab so I feel stuck. I know there are free rehabs where I can go cold turkey but I am scared of those because I dont think I can physically take the withdrawals and I will more than likely end up leaving rehab and going right back to using. I dont have any one who can help me with getting health insurance and so I dont know what to do. Im unemployed, pretty much homeless, hungry all the time, trying to hold on to the little bit of faith i have and possibly grow in faith, but most of the time I just find myself asking God why He doesn’t take me home, or why he didn’t take me home the night I overdosed in 2014. I just lost my only support system back in September, my mom passed away after a 7 year battle with cancer. Ever since she passed away, my dad and brother have been doing everything possible to abandon me and disown me, belittling me every chance they get and telling me I am trash and yelling at me all day every day. I dont know how much more I can take but I have faith that God has begun to move in my life and I will rise. Thank you for all that you do, Pastor, I love you! :)

[@amandagreen1267]

I have been listening to this while I work and it touched my heart to tears to the point of having co workers coming over to check on me. They were like are you crying or laughing I said both and that I was listening to this sermon. You should have seen the look on their faces. I have posted this to fb and sent to a few co workers bc it is that good. Yesterday was a little hard for me as a parent so when it started off with an 11 yr old I knew it was for me. My mama died when I was 13 and my dad when I was 18. I grew up in church with my dad being a preacher and my mama being the most Godliest person you could ever hope to meet. They sung Will the circle be unbroken together in church. So much of this reminded me of my childhood as if my parents were trying to send me a message. This has really turned my day around and has given me so much hope for the future. Thank you

[@lovemariehobbs7222]

You do not know my story. He delivered me from Many addictions. He kept me from suicide. You do not know my story He brought me out of depression. You do not no my story God brought me out a hospital bed that should of claimed my life. You do not no my story. Nobody but Jesus. My story is not over it is just started. Thank you Jesus!!!

[@ashleyjohnson8955]

Praise God!!!! I make room for God and He always keeps His promises

[@charlottedavidson1326]

There's more to my story. Watching from Marysville Ohio. Thank you so much for your sermons I'm grateful to you.

[@buntjosekelepile586]

I am truly edified by your preaching Pastor,I feel revived man of God. Thank you.

[@marygamble8767]

Much needed revisit. Praise Him and I pray God continue to Bless.

[@amytrejosanchez2277]

God bless you, your family, and all of the Elevation Churches Pastor Furtick. I go to church here in North Charleston, SC and have learned many things that have helped me have a better life, let go of many things from my past, bw healed from illnesses that suposavly didn't have cures 👆, but because God blessed me with the ability to learn Spanish fluently that's how I truly learned about God in the right way and be able to see and feel His love, power, knowing Him like a Father. My Father! However it is hard for me to talk about Him or explain all He can do, has done, and will do in English so I started watching T.D Jakes and aldo your ministry on you tube and have learn so much more than I already knew. I just wanted to say thank you for serving God and thank God for giving you the gift that He did. Your way of preaching is exactly what it should be UNIQUE AND PROSPEROUS! Que Dios te bendiga grandemente!

[@denisebay5800]

There is More and Amen! God bless you Pastor

Credit to my Pastor...Pastor...did you notice when Elisha told the woman if he should talk to the king for her? She didn't know she would have to talk to the king to give her her things back! This was a prophesy she refused unknowingly! But God spoke it!

Story of Joseph is my favorite & has been since Jr high & I am now 50! I had to grow up very early & Thank God for creating me to be born a very mature young girl with a wise old soul. There is always more to the story and there are 2 sides to every story and then there is the truth. The truth is always the hardest pill to swallow.

[@Hopeful999]

"Her initiative met God's initiative." "When she made room for God, He did something in her that she couldn't do for herself." "Sometimes even the dreams God BIRTHED will die." "Is this the scene or the story?" "Whatever is barren in your life can still bring forth and whatever dies can come alive with one word from God." "When He breathes into it... Some things are going to be resurrected in your life. I believe in the lifecycle of the word of God. Nothing that He speaks returns void. It accomplishes what He sent it to do." "In chapter 8...8 the number of NEW beginnings." "Some of the worst scenes make the best stories. Some things God has to let you go through so that when He brings it back around, you'll have a story to tell." "The same God who sends rain will often allow you to go through a famine." "The miracle isn't that God prevented the famine...it's that He provided for her through it." "And her need collided with God's provision. And her past collided with her future...at just the right time." "In a FULL ⭕️CIRCLE moment the woman walks in and what she did in chapter 4 is waiting for her in chapter 8." "God's story met her story and her story met his story and it all came FULL⭕️ CIRCLE." "It was the scene she would have chosen to skip that brought her to this place." "She didn't have to convince him of her miracle because her miracle was standing with her." "She didn't understand it while she was going through it but it has come FULL ⭕️CIRCLE." "You've got a story to tell. What story will you tell?" "See that everything that she has lost is restored to her... Not only are you going to give it back, you're going to pay it with interest."

[@jessemorton6886]

Thank you. It is so good recapping the life story of God. Bravo!! I love to giving random offerings of money to strangers in surprise, especially on my really bad days. It keeps me joyful to see faith in our God over our fate of each other.. Seems like the broadest loop of life isn't all that loopy after all as a trace it.. like one big story that is caring for the root of life from the fruit we can pick today.

[@MortgageMamba86]

Pastor Steven Is an amazing preacher. A true leader that’s building up this generation of followers in Christ!

[@craigtsbaby]

I am a direct reflection of your story.... when I heard the sermon where you paused and inhaled deeply and asked " do you smell that fragrance " in reference to Mary gave her all by pouring her fragrance on the feet of Jesus her fragrance offering is still wafting through into your ministry and allowed me to inhale the sweetness of the grace,mercy and love of a father whom I'm not ashamed to reveal my scars, flaws and weaknesses and he still calls me friend.... im excited to include my offering towards continuing the story as part of my Praise and admiration of a mighty God...... Be blessed Elevation and pastor Steven ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🌱💪💪💪
