CURRENT TEACHING SERIES
ALL: The Heart of Surrender
Mar 9 – Apr 13 | 10 AM
Lent is a 40-day season of prayer, reflection and fasting leading up to a celebration of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Jesus made the utlimate sacrifice for us and in return, invites us to live sacrificially. This requires us to give up our natural tendencies and the need to have things our way. Simply put, it requires surrender. Our human nature doesn’t like this. We resist it, fight it and hold on tightly to what feels right for us. On the cross, Jesus paid it all, releasing the power and stain of sin and death. All is at the heart of surrender.
