God Knew You Before Shame

Elevation Church·Elevation Church·20:45

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Steven Furtick challenges listeners to abandon the frustrating pursuit of identity apart from God, revealing that true self-understanding begins with His divine knowledge. Drawing primarily from Jeremiah 1:5, which declares God knew us before birth, and Ephesians 4:20-24, he unpacks the profound truth that our created identity precedes any corruption of sin, shame, or disappointment. This message helps viewers understand the distinction between their 'corrupted' self-perception and their 'created' self, as known by God. Furtick guides the audience to embrace God's perspective, emphasizing that recognizing 'The Lord Of Your Limitations' and understanding 'Deceitful Desires' are crucial steps toward finding clarity and freedom. This sermon offers practical insight for growing Christians seeking to align their self-perception with God's eternal truth, leading to a life unburdened by insecurity and defined by divine purpose.
