You Are Not It
Summary
Steven Furtick preaches on Mark 9, urging listeners to separate their identity from their struggles, failures, or talents by declaring "you are not it." He illustrates how the disciples failed due to pride and how the father’s honest doubt was accepted by Jesus. Furtick emphasizes that believers are God’s handiwork, saved by grace rather than performance, and invites viewers to surrender their unbelief and receive Christ as Lord.
