Elevation with Steven Furtick

For the second part of our series Raised to Life, we put together a special worship experience, including a sermon from our Worship Pastor, Wade Joye. And once again, we culminated the day by giving those who hadn’t, the chance to stand with Jesus and be baptized. That day. Right there on the spot. No hesitations, no excuses.

What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? Once we’ve accepted Him as our Savior, how does that look in our everyday life? For far too many of us, our relationship with Jesus is built upon convenience, comforts, and fair-weather fandom. When we have time or when there’s added benefit. But if that is what our relationship is built on, do we even have a relationship with Him at all? In the first part of our series Raised To Life, Pastor Steven explains the big difference between being for Christ and being with Christ, and the drastic impact that those words, and their corresponding actions, have on our relationship with Him.

Giving has always been a sermon topic that makes people clinch their fists, shift in their seats, and begin checking their watches. But maybe that's because we approach our giving from the wrong perspective. Far too many of us see giving as an obligation to God, or as a way to manipulate Him into blessing us. If that's the way we were taught about giving, then yes - there's not much there to get excited about. But in the final part of our series (This Is Your) Permission Slip, Pastor Steven teaches us a third way to approach our giving – one that breaks us free from our own selfish desires and draws us closer to a God who will not be out given.

Being a student who is passionately following Christ is harder today than it has ever been. The tangles of social media. The access and anonymity of smart phones. The fleeting pleasures found in peer pressure. Couple that with the perception that Christianity is just another set of rules to follow, and it is no wonder that 75% of students leave the church after high school. But what if we shifted that perspective? What if we taught the next generation the truth that Christianity is less about "Do's" and "Dont's" and more about freedom found in Christ? In part four of our series (This is Your) Permission Slip, Pastor Steven sat down with our students to answer their questions about what it looks like to be a Christian in today's culture, and show us what the freedom found in Christ can look like in our everyday lives.
