In this new series that I will post on Sundays, I will share a sermon or sermon series that I took a lot from. Ones that are filled with nuggets that empower you to make changes in your life, understand the Bible better, or increase your faith when going through a difficult time. My hope is Christians and non-Christians will find encouragement from this series. While they are sermons, I believe even if you don’t believe in God or Jesus, these sermons I will share are worth listening to and seeing how you can apply the principles to your life. We all believe in growth, love, and becoming better at our creativity, and these sermons are delivered in ways that are enjoyable and understandable.
In this series, Savage Jesus from Elevation Church, Pastor Steven Furtick and a few guest preachers review the various miracles from Jesus and show that he wasn’t all about just being nice and sweet but was about changing mindsets, hearts, walks, and structures. He wasn’t here to please the culture but to impact it.
Take some time to get comfortable, grab your notebook and pen (maybe a few), and prepare to listen and take notes of how you can apply these teachings to your life!
As of right now, I am not going to share my individual thoughts on the sermons because all of us hear what we need to take away. However, feel free to comment below if you would like to “share notes” by typing a key point or three that you got from the sermon and I will definitely share my thoughts and share with you what I took away. I don’t want to slant your angle for listening but instead share with you sermons that may be able to help you.
Okay – enough from me…let’s get to the good stuff! Because the series is so long, I have separated them into two posts. Part 2 is here.
Week One – Before and After – Pastor Stephen Furtick
Week Two – Dysfunctional Comfort – Pastor Stephen Furtick
Week Three – Throw It Off – Pastor Micahn Carter
Week Four – Danger in the Distance – Pastor Stephen Furtick
This is my favorite one from the series.
Alert: HUGE box of tissues needed.
Week Five – There’s Another Door – Pastor Stephen Furtick
Week Six – It Can’t End Like This – Pastor Stephen Furtick
Fun note: Pastor Steven planned to do this as a six-week series but it was sooooo good and there was so much meat that it ended up going THIRTEEN WEEKS! Bookmark this page, reblog it on your blog, save it, whatever you have to do so you remember to watch the ENTIRE series. There isn’t a bad sermon in the series and you may meet some pastors you haven’t heard of previously!
Remember this IS NOT THE END! Sermons 7 – 13 are posted here. If you finish watching before then because you love them so much you binge watch them like a series on Netflix, visit the YouTube playlist for the series, which is located at the very top of this post in the first sentence (when I list the name of the series).
(NOTE: Post publishing, we learned of some indiscretions of at least one of the speakers. I get that this is disturbing and I DON’T condone it. However, I won’t remove any of the videos because the messages are still good despite possible faults from the individuals. I hate when we hear of pastors taking mighty falls and it pains me deeply when they are so public and don’t fully accept their part in the sin. I also acknowledge my own shortcomings so I judge the WORD not the person from whose mouth it is delivered. For us to do so would mean we’d also have to forgo much of our Bible since those men did the same and worse to people. Let’s remember that as we move forward if we feel some type of way while seeing certain names or faces. ALL OF US have fallen short and we are all doing the best we can. My heart’s cry is that truly all of us are repentant for ALL sin we have committed and will continue to look to Him for advice on what and who to listen to on this Earth.)
