Surrender

Even when we *want* to believe, it can be hard to trust the promises of God. In Genesis, Abraham holds on to faith by ceding his doubts to God’s sovereign, loving control. On Sunday, we will talk about some practical ways to do the same—to cultivate deeper trust and more vibrant faith for days when we are faced with distractions and doubts.

Sometimes we think of formulas as restrictive, but Jesus’s formula for prayer is actually freeing; it frees us from our tendency to perform. Instead, we can embrace an authentic encounter with God through the daily rhythms of grace.

A life of surrender is not easy and is often costly, but its reward bears fruit for a lifetime.
