Summary

In this life-changing message, Pastor Eric Thomas shares a raw and honest word about what’s really holding us back: our unfinished business and our excuses for living below God’s standard. He exposes the street philosophies and manipulative mindsets we carry into our faith, relationships, finances, and everyday habits.

Through the powerful reminder from Genesis, Pastor Eric reveals that God doesn’t just start things — He finishes them perfectly — and calls us to do the same. If you’ve been stuck starting and stopping, or lowering your standard to feel comfortable, this sermon will convict you to embrace God’s perfect standard and let your trials work for you, not against you.

🎧 Listen now and be challenged to rise higher, live with excellence, and finish what you start, just like your Father in Heaven does.

tuning into this podcast. You know, so many people have said to me, E, we love the normal service,

0:11.8

but the podcast, we can wash dishes, wash clothes, work out to it, drive up and down the road,

0:18.8

our commute to work. And so, guys, thank you so much. Look, you know,

0:22.9

we have one goal here, and that is to meet your spiritual needs. And so we hope that this message

You can't come in here big and bad. You can't come in here, Bo. This ain't the world. This is God's

house. When you come in here, you humble yourself to the fullest and then God's going to do something

Now, the word that I'm about to give you today has freed me from some of that lack and has put me in a place of prosperity and my cup is

All right. So I want you all to see this. Let's go back to the word. I'm sorry. It says consider

1:26.6
