In Steven Furtick’s energetic sermon, “What To Do When God Opens A Door,” the atmosphere buzzes with anticipation. This isn’t your average lecture; it’s a call to action, a vibrant tapestry woven with stories, scriptures, and practical advice for seizing opportunities presented by divine favor.
Furtick kicks things off by acknowledging the thrill of an open door. He paints a picture of new possibilities, exciting challenges, and the fear that often accompanies them. He resonates with listeners by admitting, “Sometimes we get scared when God opens a door.” This vulnerability creates a safe space for us to acknowledge our own anxieties and hesitations.
But the message quickly shifts from fear to empowerment. Furtick emphasizes that God doesn’t open doors to leave us trembling on the threshold. He encourages us to “walk through,” reminding us that God’s favor doesn’t equate to smooth sailing, but rather to the confidence to navigate challenges with faith and determination.
The heart of the sermon lies in practical steps for embracing open doors. Furtick urges us to “get ready,” highlighting the importance of preparation and personal growth. He emphasizes the need to invest in ourselves, citing examples from scripture of individuals who were equipped for their calling through honing their skills and understanding their strengths.
However, “What To Do When God Opens A Door” isn’t just about individual action. Furtick emphasizes the role of community in navigating new opportunities. He encourages us to surround ourselves with positive and supportive individuals who believe in us and celebrate our victories. This message of “walking through doors together” strengthens the feeling of collective courage and shared purpose.
