In this message, originally preached by Pastor Steven Furtick in 2016 he asks a question, “What really matters?” It’s an important question, because what really matters to you determines the direction you go in life. And let’s face it, shifts happen all the time in our lives making it difficult to maintain focus and hope.
Pastor Steven uses Philippians 1 verses 18 through 27 to reveal one of the best ways to stay focused on what really matters — building an eager expectation in Christ. The kind of hope that Paul describes in the Bible is so powerful that Paul had to make up a word in greek to define it — apokaradokia!
We all want to feel like we’re making progress moving in the right direction. This desire is never stronger than in situations where we feel stuck. We can all get paralyzed by frustration and stress, or sometimes we can be really busy doing things that feel like they don’t matter.
But in this message we can learn how to prioritize what really matters and find hope (apokaradokia) in a tight spot. In Philippians 1, Paul is dealing with a shift he didn’t expect as he writes a letter from prison. But he confronts his shift with hope and rather than questioning his own purpose he encourages us in ours. That is the power of apokaradokia! That is the power of this kind of hope.
No matter what shifts have happened in your life today, we believe this message will give you hope to move forward.

I broke out in goosebumps and cried at the end of this video! I hope you get to read this one day! I am having liver problems leading to liver failure and I am 27 years old with a husband and three kids. I have always been a super mom to my family and am struggling keeping up with the basics now around the house. This was the most touching and motivating thing I have ever heard in my life and I feel like your preaching just helped me get past it and give all to God in a twinkle of an eye! God bless you and your family!
Nice suit pastor. You said you only read mean comments sometimes lol. But this a nice comment. 💚 @steven
Amen! Shift my Focus!
Let us know what we guard most.
Worship through the drums is my ministry, and I have been struggling with the ones around me not serving to their full potential. Each suggestion of mine is usually met with an answer of resistance, while their abilities doesn't cover the basics. I see this as a reminder to not get distracted, and to be patient for something new that's to come. I may be completely wrong; I'll find that out soon, but this spoke to me today, so thank you for sharing it!
And for India as well… !! 😊 I accepted what has happened I will shift my focus what will happen
It's my first time listening to you and I'm really touched, I'm going through a lot in life and I need someone to talk to and express how I feel. Pray for me Man of God
