I Thought It Was Through

Elevation Church·Elevation Church·50:07

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Steven Furtick confronts the common human experience of feeling 'it was through' – the belief that a difficult situation is insurmountable and without hope. Drawing primarily from Psalm 77 and the Israelites' Red Sea experience in Exodus 14, Furtick argues that despair often stems from focusing on what we thought would happen or what we think is happening, rather than remembering God's past faithfulness and present power. He identifies the '3 P's of Negative Thinking' and provides practical steps to 'disrupt your despair' by intentionally recalling God's interventions and turning the page on self-defeating narratives. This message is highly relevant for anyone struggling with anxiety, fear, or persistent negative thoughts, offering a profound theological framework and actionable strategies to shift perspective, cultivate trust, and find renewed hope in God's continuous work, even when circumstances seem dire.
