You Can Change The End

In this powerful sermon titled 'You Can Change the End,' Pastor Steven Furtick draws from the Exodus narrative of the Israelites at the Red Sea to deliver a transformative message about response in the face of impossible circumstances. He contrasts three reactions: the people’s despair and blame ('it's over'), Moses’ call to 'stand still,' and God’s decisive command to 'move on.' Furtick emphasizes that while we cannot change the past or the circumstances, we can change the end by making a forward step in faith. Using vivid personal stories—from a miscommunication about a song to a parking lot altercation—he illustrates how small decisions at hinge moments shape our future. He challenges listeners to reject escape from responsibility and instead embrace God’s call to move forward, citing biblical examples like David, Samson, Peter, and the repentant thief to show that no situation is beyond redemption. The message culminates in a call to action: respond in real time with faith, repentance, and courage, because the next 'then' in your story is within your control.
