Pastor Steven Furtick shares this sermon titled: “Hope Is Not Gone” where he teaches that it’s possible to hold onto hope in the face of unmet expectations. He said you should just not give up when it gets difficult. This is an excerpt from “Round Trip Resurrection.”
The senior pastor of Elevation Church said people bank on things like we had hoped that He was the one who was going to redeem Israel. We had hoped, but now we’re headed home. Had hoped that it was going to be different this time. We had hoped that He was going to break our chains. Had hoped that God was going to heal our disease. We had hope that God was going to take the addiction away. Hoped that if we prayed, we would get the peace that corresponded with the prayer, but it’s over now. We had hoped.
We look forward to it, but we’re headed home now because He hung on the cross and we hung our hope on the cross
and now we don’t know anything else to do, but to head home. And we’re headed home because we don’t have any hope left. As they are headed home with no hope, hope shows up. But, they can’t see it. They’re headed home with no hope.
Steven Furtick said he doesn’t blame them for going home because what else are you going to do? What else are you going to do but go home if the one who was supposed to be the king, hung on a cross and wore a crown of thorns? I mean life can hit you that hard.
