The Hardest Part Is Behind You

Elevation Church·Elevation Church·1:02:55

This sermon by Pastor Steven Furtick powerfully asserts that "The Hardest Part Is Behind You," encouraging listeners not to judge their lives in isolated moments or allow unmet expectations to define their future. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13, which speaks to the temporary nature of partial knowledge and the enduring power of love, and the compelling narrative of Naaman in 2 Kings 5, Furtick challenges the audience to release their preconceived notions of how God should work. He emphasizes that God's gifts are not for status and urges believers to stop prioritizing what will inevitably pass away. The message provides practical application for those struggling with disappointment, highlighting the importance of humble obedience ("You Gotta Wash," "You Better Dip") even when God's methods seem unconventional. It calls for a letting go of personal expectations and a belief in God's ongoing work of restoration, reminding "Growing Christians" that inaction won't bring healing and that God is not finished with their story.
