Pastor’s Thoughts:

Surrendering can be hard but it is the key to true freedom to become the instrument of God you were created to be.

Surrendering at its core is yielding our power to another. 

This can feel scary at first. 

But as we learn to yield our desire for control, we will gain access to God’s strength.

Scriptures about Surrendering:

Philippians 3:7-9.  “I count all things but loss”. I surrender this world, that I may when Christ.

Luke 9:23-24. Deny yourself (your will), take up our cross (trials and persecutions). Surrender.

Galatians 2:20. I no longer live but Christ lives in me. Surrender

We are not our own: Freedom is found in genuine surrender to Christ

Galatians 5:13. 

We are free from laws to earn our way into heaven. Jesus is our redeemer period.

Do not use your freedom for unrighteousness rather use it to love and serve others. This is the heart of Christ.

1 Corinthians 6:12-20.

Our bodies belong to Christ

Your body is a temple surrendered to God.

You are not your own, you are bought with a price (the cross)

In all things Glorify God in surrender to his will for your life
