I’m Going Under (Chet Pete)

In this powerful message titled 'I'm Going Under,' Pastor Steven Furtick delivers a compelling call to surrender to the authority of Jesus Christ, using the story of the Roman centurion in Luke 7 as a central illustration. He emphasizes that Jesus has absolute authority over every area of life—spiritual, emotional, physical, and relational—and that true faith is demonstrated not just in belief but in obedience. Drawing from personal stories, including his wife nearly drowning during a snorkeling trip and his sons learning to drive under his direction, Furtick illustrates how God’s authority is not oppressive but protective and life-giving. He challenges listeners to move beyond mere profession of faith to active submission, urging them to 'go under' the control, cover, and construction of God’s will. The message culminates in a heartfelt invitation to make a decision to follow Jesus, with a prayer of salvation and a celebration of new believers. Furtick closes with a worshipful reflection on the authority of Christ’s name, symbolized by the album cover of Elevation Worship’s 'So Be It,' where the king’s seal signifies divine decree and unstoppable power.
