You have an appointment with an angel, and you have an angel telling you right now, "You're going to make it. In fact, you're going to be better". It's all right. I've got an angel! Now who are you going to listen to? Your angel or your enemy? My [...]

There comes a time where you have to appreciate where God fed you during the famine but be willing to leave and go back to the place where you really belong. You know how I said this was like a lifeline? You've convinced yourself you can never have [...]

I want to read this to you for everybody who has been watching the wind in your life, worrying about uncertain situations you cannot control. I'm not talking about those of you who are trying to make a plan to pay off your debt. That's good. That's [...]

This may not be the prettiest part of my life, but by faith I believe it's going to be the most productive. The most productive parts of your life will not be the prettiest. The greatest miracles in your life will come in the middle of the biggest [...]

Welcome to all of our locations. We trust that God's presence will be powerful wherever you are. I really mean that. That's kind of what my sermon is about today as well. Listen to this in Genesis 34:30. "Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, 'You [...]

I kind of want to continue on something I said on Easter. I'll explain that in a second. Let me read the Scripture. "A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers [...]

I want to tell you a story today from the Bible, from 2 Kings, chapter 8. You might not have heard this one before. It's really good. The Scripture records this: "Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, 'Go away with your [...]

Very specifically, before I came, God said, "You're going to speak to somebody today who thinks it's over, and the limitation they have placed is not on a genre of music. The limitation they have placed is on themselves". In the story of Lazarus, [...]

Here's the thing I found out. I found out it really doesn't matter who causes it. If it's from God or if it's not from God... I don't really know the difference sometimes. What I know is that whatever happens in our lives, it has to pass through his [...]

I see a lot of Christians listening to cute sermons, and we're telling you to do things that sound really big, to forgive people and to be free of addiction, but I hear the response from the people. When the pulpit is echoing forth these lofty [...]

We want God to change stuff without changing us, and that's not how he does it. Are you surprisable? I was praying, "God, what do I tell them"? He said, "Tell them 'Stay surprisable.'" Keep some room in what you plan for your life, your kid's life, [...]

"What's wrong with me"? Have you said that a lot lately? "What's wrong with me that nobody wants to be with me? Why doesn't anybody stay in my life? Why doesn't anybody want to be around me? Why don't the things that happen for other people so [...]

Steven Furtick : I thought what I wanted to ask you before we sit down. Bishop TD Jakes : All right. Steven Furtick : I've been thinking about this for a month. Bishop TD Jakes : No, I haven't lost any weight yet. About one pound. Steven Furtick : [...]

A lot of us stop at the tomb, where our hope dies, where our disappointment in what we thought was going to happen gets so deep in our heart that we no longer want to try, believe, pray. We may go through the motions, but our heart isn't really in [...]

God is not scared to walk right up in the details of your situation. A bird falls out of the sky, and he counts it and puts it on the ledger, and you think he doesn't know about your loneliness, your tears, your heartbreak? Do you think he's [...]

I've come to tell you your best days are not behind you. God is not like that. He didn't let you run out because he left you; he let it run out so he could give you something better than what you brought to the party to begin with. "You flipped the [...]

You know ghosted? You know the term? I'm not going to ask if you've ever been ghosted or been the ghoster. Ghostees, ghosters. When I was on the dating scene back in seventh grade, you at least had the common courtesy to have your friend break up [...]

I was telling somebody the other day… They said, "Easter must be the easiest time for you to preach". I said, "Oh, on the contrary". It's really the hardest because everybody thinks they know the story better than they really do. This part of the [...]

Welcome. We're glad you're here. What a privilege it is to gather together and praise God. I'm going to drive some of you crazy. I'm not giving you my sermon title until the end of the sermon today. So, if you have some anxiety medication in your [...]

God sent me out here to say to somebody: you have to get through this dark part of your life, this season, this stage of adulthood. Maybe just because I have two teenagers, I was thinking about teens who commit suicide. It started to haunt me. They [...]

I've noticed I spend a lot of my time fighting stuff that God is actually sending into my life. I spend a lot of my time fighting against people I'm not really mad at. It's really not them. Tell the person next to you, "It's not you; it's me". I'm a [...]

I don't know what it has been like for you in the last year as we've all been renegotiating our lives…not negotiating with God, but just trying to figure out where our lives are pointed. There may be a lot of you who are going through something [...]

Whatever has wounded you, whatever you hide, whatever happened… When Jesus shows Thomas his scars… I'm glad he kept his scars. I'm glad he kept that part. I'm glad he didn't stay dead, but I'm also glad he came out scarred, because that gives me [...]

You never want to miss a Sunday at Elevation, because you never know what God is going to do. He's just amazing. I think you picked a good Sunday to join us too, or if you're watching this on a Tuesday or listening to this on the treadmill… A lot of [...]

There are two tendencies we all have. Let me go in teacher mode for a moment. We either have a tendency to dramatize (I don't think you should look at your husband or wife right now; I think you should look straight ahead. I'm just giving you a [...]
