Pastor Steven Furtick

Coming home to Moncks Corner from time to time helps keep me grounded.  Inevitably I run into people who knew me when.  Whether it’s a lady who changed my diaper in daycare or a deacon who heard me preach my first, rambling, hyperactive sermon, the people who practically raised you can kind of help you keep your ego in check if you ever get too big for your britches.
(That’s how we say it in Moncks Corner.)

Not only that, but it’s vital to remember the people who helped shape you into the person you are as God elevates you to the place He’s taking you to.  Every chance I get, I try to honor those who invested in me and believed in me when I was just getting my driver’s license and teaching youth Sunday School for the first time.

Don’t ever forget where you come from.  It will limit where God can take you.  Be grateful for the places and the people God used to prepare you.  His purposes are perfect in your life.
