Give it to God - Part 1: Surrendering Our Will

In this sermon, The Journey of Complete Surrender, the focus is on embracing a life of full submission to God, rooted in Jesus’ call from Matthew 16:24 to deny oneself, take up the cross, and follow Him. The sermon explores the challenges of surrendering personal desires, plans, and ambitions while emphasizing the transformative rewards of obedience, trust, and reliance on God.

Through surrender, believers move from self-driven living to a Christ-centered life, marked by peace, joy, and spiritual fruitfulness. Trials and hardships are presented not as obstacles but as refining tools God uses to draw us closer to Him. The message encourages believers to abandon fear, frustration, and the need for control, allowing God to shape their identity, renew their minds, and empower them for His purpose.

- Surrender as an act of trust and faith.

- Gratitude and worship as antidotes to frustration and discontent.

- Trials as opportunities for spiritual growth and deeper intimacy with God.

- Transformation through daily reliance on Christ’s power, not self-effort.

- Key Scriptures: Matthew 16:24 Romans 12:2 Philippians 2:13 James 1:2-4
