Don't Be Real, Be Righteous

Elevation Church·Elevation Church·17:52

This sermon by Steven Furtick powerfully argues that genuine spiritual growth is a deliberate choice, not a passive occurrence. Drawing from Ephesians 4:14-15 and 17, Furtick challenges the notion of using "authenticity" as an excuse for remaining in immature or unrighteous patterns, instead calling believers to actively pursue maturity in Christ. He emphasizes that true strength and progress come from within, urging listeners to confront internal limitations and choose righteousness over merely being "real." The message provides practical insight for those feeling stuck or frustrated, guiding them to understand that becoming the person God created them to be requires intentional decisions and a commitment to growth. It's a call to move beyond spiritual infancy, embracing the transformative power of Christ to develop Christian habits and a confident, courageous faith in daily life.
