Surrender to Jesus

The Bible offers real, verifiable evidence for its reliability — in its manuscripts, its history, its prophecies, its archaeology, and the changed lives it produces. The reason people reject it is not lack of evidence but a refusal to be accountable to God, so the call is to stop trusting our own trends and instincts and put our trust in Jesus, whom the whole Bible points to.

There's real hope for anyone who feels torn between who they want to be and who they keep failing to be. Romans 7 shows that this inner battle is normal for every believer, and it isn't meant to be won by willpower—it's won by leaning on Jesus, who alone can rescue us and finish the work He started in us.

Worry is like fog — a small concern that, left unchecked, fills our whole mind and paralyzes us. Psalm 23 offers a simple hope: God is our Shepherd who provides, protects, guides, and corrects, and He can be trusted to take care of us, even through death itself.

Jesus offers real freedom — the "ball" we're all crawling toward — but many who claim to believe in Him want what He has while rejecting who He is. Pastor Bill shows from John 8 that true freedom only comes when we admit we're powerless, admit our own way of living isn't working, and surrender fully to Jesus as the great "I AM," because the only alternative to surrendering to Him is eventually attacking Him.

Marriage struggles that never seem to resolve usually aren't about the marriage itself — they're about the brokenness each person carries in. There's hope: recognizing the cause, facing the consequences of ignoring it, and receiving the cure God offers through Jesus can heal both hearts and relationships.
