Who Are You Trying to Impress? | Pastor Steven Furtick

We all want to impress certain people in our lives. But to stop anxiety, we'll have to check our intentions.

The clip was pulled from a 2K2 teaching. 2K2 was the apprenticeship program at Elevation Church.

"Being the vessel, not the oil"... That was a good word!

I believe this is so true. I am a praise dancer. At my early stage of praise dancing I use to get so nervous and anxious stomach was hurting until I got up there and breathed. Now as I mature in my calling of praising dancing I find when I focused on God and not the people, when In already on worship before I get up there it’s way better. Thanks Pastor!

Its in these moments where the pastor gets intimate with the group. Its so powerful to see the pastor get to a 'congregant level' and converse with them in a more personal flow rather than in a large auditorium-like event. This video shows the real. Many pastors wouldn't dare try it. This was inspirational thank you.

WOW! thats true, i'm a micro-youtuber and I'm based in the Philippines, so like i make videos and post them on facebook and youtube and i know it's a platform that God gave to me to reach out but recently i think i got caught up with the pressure and anxiety to please people and their expectation... this is so true, and now i see my intentions are wrong, and i should see myself as the vessel. please pray for me to be restored, sometimes the little voices of discouragement and anxiety paralyzes me..God bless you all!

Because Hawaii loves Elevation Church!!! Maybe Elevation worship could come down to Hawaii one day with a sermon by pastor Steven. Praying.

Like John Maxwell says: It’s more about IMPACTING people than IMPRESSING them. I totally agree with that! Love you, Team Furtick! ❤️

I want to encourage Steven for his trans parency. I have never watched a full teach until his sermon on Anxiousness.

Pastor Steven, God has given you so much grace and courage. Thank you for being real.

[joerigpro]

When people say don't worry, there's never really a how to do it. You just helped us with the how

[jjjet]

It’s cool to hear you in this setting. No fancy lights, stage, no catchy lines, no round of applause, just you and the rawness of wisdom.
