Giving up control can be difficult. When we are asked to surrender and follow someone else’s leadership or plan, it can be hard to trust that they are leading in the right direction. The same is true in our relationship with Christ. It is hard to fully submit and surrender our lives, give up our control, and allow Him to take the reins of our lives. But that is precisely what God asks of us. He knows that the fruit and gain we will receive when we let Him take control will be much greater than when we do it on our own. We are picking up in our series, Thy Kingdom Come: His Reign in Our Lives, today we will see how Jesus’ reign calls for our ultimate allegiance. We will look at the gospel of Mark and discover how God asks us how surrendered we are to His leadership; by challenging our religious assumptions and reorienting our family loyalty. Listen to the latest message of the series, Choose Ye This Day, to let the Lord examine and speak to your heart.
