Look Forward Not Far | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church
We all go through times when we’re looking ahead, and our future looks uncertain. We want clarity, but instead, God gives us the courage to move forward in faith. It’s in these moments we learn not to be driven by what’s easy but to be pulled forward by purpose.

I needed this sermon today 🙏🏽✨
Thanks for tuning in 🙌
I’m looking forward to my sister visiting!❤
Looking forward to a place to live.🙏
This morning I planned to attend my church in my neighborhood with my children. I woke up in time, got my coffee and started to pray my morning prayer like I usually do. Today I prayed for God to give me direction and clarity. I started a business and it hasn’t quite taken off yet, as a single Mom in questioning do I get a job or do I keep my faith in God. I asked him to give me a clear message that I would be able to hear and see as from him. After that prayer I did something I never do on a Sunday. I decided to make the kids breakfast and watch elevation church live with them in our living room. Your message felt heaven sent. For me to change my plans and for this to be the message, wow God is great! Thank you!
Thank you for worshiping with us today!
Looking forward to a place I can call home with my whole heart ❤
Amen!! 🙏🏽
I don’t think he knows how hard his messages be hitting. I’m 21 and I be feeling like I need to have my whole life planned out. The way this world be having people thinking they need to have everything together ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Being 21 is definitely not the time to have everything figured out. Its a great time to work, have a good time, and don’t do anything you might be embarrassed about later!😊
I’m 54 and they hit hard.
I am 65 and I have a kitchen magnet that says “ We plan God laughs”. I do not have everything planned nor figured out, that is why I am blessed to have Grace cover me. Trust God’s plan for you. Be gentle to yourself and surround yourself with those of good counsel. I used to hate accountability to others for my deepest secrets. Now I have none as I find hope, strength and joy in relationship.
No one has it all together. They might pretend to have it all together but trust me there is an area in their life that they’re struggling in. We all struggle. Just keep your focus on God. We’re all doing the best we can. God bless you!! ❤
This truly came at the exact moment I needed to hear it. That’s the awesome power of God!
I AM NOT GOING BACK! 🙏❤️🙏🙏🙏
