Greater

Steven Furtick's Greater is built around a simple invitation: to pursue the fuller life Jesus pointed toward when he said his followers would accomplish even more than he had. Drawing on the story of the prophet Elisha, the material offers a way of reading ancient miracles as a model for faith in ordinary life today.

This edition is a four-part video series meant to accompany the book. Each fifteen-minute session takes up one core idea: making a clean break with a former way of living, starting with modest and practical steps, trusting that faith is never lost, and stepping out toward the expanded life God promises. The filming took place in a London studio and at sites in Israel connected with Elisha's miracles, and every session closes with a worship song.

Groups, Sunday school classes and retreats can use the series alongside a participant's guide included in the package.
