Surrender
Yielding every part of yourself to God — the pathway to true freedom.
Surrender is not defeat — it is the greatest act of faith. It is the daily decision to lay down our will, our plans, and our desires at the feet of Jesus and trust that His way is better. This study explores what it means to die to self, yield to the Holy Spirit, and walk in total submission to God.

3I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
