We’re saved by grace, not of works lest anyone should boast. Look at me!! I finally made the choice to allow Jesus into MY life. What a great guy I am.

[@moobiegrows2002]

I've been such an angry person for the past 10 years of my life! That's how long I've chosen to keep God away from me but then I stumble upon your channel. I just want to say thank you for bringing God back into my life. I know I'll be able to get things back on track and be the man I know I can be for God and my family!

[@stevenfurtick]

Yesterday was my 21st birthday. I wasn't feeling okay. I've lost my mind, i ran away and try to save my life.I've been identified myself for the mistake that I did. It leads me to working so hard to find the way out with my own strength. But IT WOULD HAVE NEVER SAVE ME cause for sure I will be dead. And i think God speak to me through this sermon. I am not it. I know for sure that I am saved by Grace not my behavior. I want to wish and pray to Him for my unbelief, Help me for this unbelief thought. Help me to seek You more. I surrender and I will let You do the work.

Steven thank you for being a vessel for the trinity; Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. Exactly what you say and how you say it in your sermons is ALWAYS on time for me. You are an example of "when 2 or more are gathered in my name I am among them." We have never met. But when I watch you preach; you, I, and all disciples gather together as a family of Christ. Once again, thank you brother of Christ. I need divine encouragement on a daily basis. Please continue to let the trinity guide you. 😊

[@elizabethjessup6089]

I beat myself up this morning. I have extreme anxiety and it hit me right when I was about to see patients. I am going through a divorce and my rent is 2 months behind. The fear is unrelenting, but yesterday I put my concerns and life in God's hands. It's so hard to work through this stuff and change into who God knows I can be. I got through it and I felt strong a few hours later. Sometimes I really have no idea who I am, but God does. He whispers to me all the time and holds my hand. He knows me. He knows me. I felt Jesus carry me this morning and I felt loved and comfort. I feel so new to life and leaving my past behind and I'm not that person anymore. But I KNOW I can trust God. So it's all in his hands. Thank you for your sermons bc I see the spirit in you. You get so excited. Lol. I love it! Haha. Thanks!

[@MirandaInCanada]

The real ness you show is exactly what I needed in a pastor. ‘No holier than thou’ complex, just a man. A man who loves God. Jesus is your homeboy and you want the world to have the same bff. For what it’s worth - you’ve helped me in my walk far more than any preacher in my life. (And that’s a biiigg pool of teachers) Thank you. 💜

11:20... "You're not my judge, your not my jury, you dont get to tell me how far Ive come on my journey! You are NOT MY MANUFACTURER." This part has stood out to me since the 1st time I heard it. Whether it's what you want to hear, or not...not matter the credentials/degree, experience, years acquainted, biggest fan or biggest "fan"- I AM not anyone's NOUN to NAME. I AM ONLY ANSWERING TO "THE ONE" when called or judged. Thanks for the humble reminder Steve!

The devil wants us arguing against them so we never deal with it wow, powerful revelation Thank YOU LORD

[@WRP03608]

I love Ephesians and Job. Every day I wake up and ask God to reveal to me what I could do for someone else. We can never pay him back for what he does for us- no amount of works will ever cover it all- yet every day I strive to be as useful as possible in every way. Always asking and praying. We can do what we want, when we want. God is good! Isn't it great that he knows our hearts and sees exactly why we do what we do. His grace is amazing. "This is where theology becomes therapy." Always a pleasure listening.

I now know who I am. I gave myself to him fully and my gifts that were his anyway. I asked him to remove all and everything that was holding back. WOW God wants to use me I will be still, study and wait upon the lord. Without Grace I'd be dead. I can only imagine what he's gonna do. I really didn't understand it it scared me so I been running and hiding. I need God and learning 🙏 A mentor Trust me I didn't want this. Under constant attacks. God puts you through a training program for what comes next.

[@dennissemoreno9083]

I have been watching these sermons with my teen boys. We use them as morning devotions and reflect on His Word to become better through out the day. May God continue to use your life for Him.

[@cathie223]

Amen! Our identity must reside in Jesus Christ by anchoring our Faith and Trust confidently in God. By Faith, even if it as small as a mustard seed, when we exalt God it is possible through Him to move mountains. When we turn our eyes 👀 from the mountains to Christ we will experience barriers broken that no man may boast. Our Testimonies! Thank you Jesus for putting up with us and your daily patience along with your daily reminders that each day we must prioritize our choices that Glorify You in our words, actions and deeds. A morning refresher course work that it is daily mustard seed growth that leads us to recall how far we’ve come by the Grace of God in our Journey.☝️

LOL. This video kept appearing on my timeline, but I kept scrolling by. . This morning I was taking a bath and talking to God. All of a sudden He said, ''You are not what you do." I said, " But Lord, how do you separate the self from the deeds, a woman from her actions? Surely my actions and behaviour is a reflection of who I am, of what I believe and Who I believe in?" Then I saw a mental picture of this video's thumbnail and knew I had to listen to it. Lol.
