This Is Then: God Uses Stupid

Elevation Church·Elevation Church·1:02:39

In this challenging sermon from the "This Is Then" series, Pastor Steven Furtick explores the profound truth that God often uses what appears "stupid" or illogical to the world to bring about His divine will, as highlighted in Genesis 28 with Jacob's encounter and referenced in Matthew 21. The message calls believers to move beyond the need for complete understanding and instead embrace radical trust in God's promises, even when circumstances seem confusing or difficult. Furtick emphasizes that true faith doesn't require a perfect human strategy, but rather a deep reliance on God's presence, protection, and provision. He encourages cultivating a spirit of gratitude *before* circumstances improve, asserting that this posture of praise is a powerful act of faith. This sermon is particularly relevant for growing Christians who are navigating uncertainty and seeking to deepen their trust in God's unconventional methods.
