Stephen Furtick did not really call himself God Almighty, did he? Oh, yes, he did.

I'm not in covenant with a person. I'm not in covenant with a political party. I'm in covenant with God Almighty.

I am God Almighty. Now, to be fair, this was a gaffe, but instead of calming down and apologizing, he just kept right on going.

Get that off you. That's not your name. That's not your station. That's not your end.

00:33

It's in me. It's in me. It is God. And Furtick's in you.

Facepalm. He knew what he just said. The sermon was entitled, It's Always Been In You, which was really a motivational speech about how success has always been in you.

00:49

He may not have meant to call himself God, but he did say his sermon came from God. I want to preach for a moment.

Timothy 2, 15 to 16, do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth, but avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness when we understand the text.
