A short YouTube segment (Holly Furtick, March 6, 2024) in which Holly and Steven Furtick play a game: song titles are presented as improvised sermon prompts. Steven and other speakers riff on biblical scenes (Exodus, David vs. Goliath, nativity), offering motivational, faith-focused takeaways—e.g., move in faith, don't back down, and see your inheritance in a new light—interspersed with lighthearted banter and a closing CTA to subscribe.

So I'm gonna play a little clip of a song, and you're going to pretend like that song title is your sermon title for this series, do the new you. And I want you to tell people how you would preach that title. Okay? Got it?
All right, roll the first song.
First song.
You got to get yourself together. You got stuck in the moment, and now you can't.
I see the Israelites standing on the shore of the Red Sea. I see Moses telling the Israelites, why are you crying? God is about to deliver us. Stand still. You'll see the salvation of the Lord. I hear God saying back to Moses in Exodus 14, why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Since the song is called Stuck in a Moment, I hear God saying to Moses and to you, you're not stuck.
Because that stick in your hand, if you stretch it over the Red Sea, you're so afraid of and get your eyes off of the water and begin to walk in faith.
I promise you, I not give him a heads up about this. Okay? All right, you ready for the next one?
The last time a game like this was played on this stage, Bishop T.D. jakes was doing the answering. This is really, really wrong of you to do this to me.
No, it's not. No, it's not.
All right, here we go.
You ready for the next one?
Okay. I think so.
In a world that keeps on pushing me around. But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down.
There was a king who made a treaty with an enemy king in the Old Testament. After he made the treaty, the enemy said, well, I actually want your children, too. He said, all right. Then he said, actually, I want all your livestock, too. At some point, the king had to say, that's it. I'm drawing a line. The deal is off. I know I said you could have my children, and I know I said you could have our treasury, and I know I said you could have the lamb. But I met with God and I realized that if I give you an inch, you'll take a mile. If I give you a corner of my life, you'll want to take the whole room. If I give you my thoughts, you'll want to take my behaviors. And if I give you my behaviors, you're going to want to take my patterns. If you take my patterns, you can have my life. So I see somebody like that Old Testament king going back to the enemy and saying, the deal is off. I changed my mind.
I remember what King David said to a giant, the Philistine that stood nine feet tall. And all of the other Israelites said, he's too big to fight, but David said, he's too big to miss. Who is this uncircumcised Philistine? Send him a message. Tell him I won't. Somebody shout, I won't back down. High five. Three people say, don't back down now. You come too far to back down now. Yeah, yeah. I hear Tom Petty say, don't do it. Don't be petty.
Don't come around here no more.
Can we do another one.
Holly? We got to get to the book.
One more, one more, one more, one more. All right, one more, one more, one more.
New light. So, Vibey. I feel like we need a Vibey Bible character for new light. Lo, the angel of the Lord shone upon them. The glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were terrified. Angel said unto them, fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which be to all people from the youth mourning day and city of David's savior, which is Christ the Lord. The new light appeared in the valley of the shadow. Sometimes we want God to remove us from valley situations where the shadow has made us unable to see the provision he has given us. We look around and all we see is shadow. All we see is darkness. All we see is uncertainty. All we see is fear. But God sometimes doesn't take you out of the place. Sometimes he gives you his presence in the place in a new way. Maybe God has you right where he wants you. Maybe the greenest grass is in the valley. Maybe the growth opportunities happen in the low places, in the uncertain places, in the strange places. Maybe sometimes when we're asking God to give us a new life, instead he wants to shine a new light on the life he has already given us.
Do you want to bring the podium out?
In the beginning, God said, let there be light. And light was, when the light shines, you begin to see what was there all along. I'm praying that today God would shine his light on your life to show you everything he has given you and that you may have a fuller understanding of every good thing that we have in Christ Jesus. And you would see your inheritance in Jesus in a new light. Sometimes you think there's something wrong with you. There's nothing wrong with you. There's just something wrong with your view of you today as we discuss this mindset, Christ is in me. I am enough. I hope you see yourself who you are in the light of who he is.
