Instead of fighting the storm, fighting God, raise the white flag.  Surrender.  Repent.  Return.

f you’re a rebel, turn to Christ.  If you’re a follower trying to make sense of where you are, trust in Christ.  If you’re not dead, God’s not done.

You’re not canceled.  THE RESURRECTION CANCELS WHAT IS TRYING TO CANCEL ME.  Jesus has canceled sin, death, and hopeless so that you and I can live.

BIG POINT: When God’s people live in love and grace, God gets the glory!

Freedom is only found through submission to Christ.
