Pastor Massey teaches us today on the importance of giving up. In Romans 12:1 it says that we should present ourselves as a living sacrifice. This seems like an oxymoron or a contradiction. How can we be living and dead at the same time? It doesn't say 'present your bodies to a sacrifice.' It says to present ourselves to a living death.

So much of our efforts lead to stress and anxiety. Yet if we give up on our own efforts and trust in God's provision and calling that is when true fruit and peace and joy and success. Is it because we are not confident that He will come through with what He has promised?

Pastor Massey shares some of his own story and life experience as someone who always plowed forward for God mostly in his own effort. He learned that giving up his own agenda and replaeing that with God's agenda leads to peace not stress, not anxiety. There is good in giving up.

Let's hear from him in the way that only he can do it.
