In this powerful sermon, Pastor Jarrod Walls challenges us to examine the areas of our lives where we claim to be submitted to God but are actually holding back control. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12:9 and James 1:5-8, Pastor Jarrod explores what it means to have true, complete dependence on Christ - not just in the convenient areas, but in every aspect of our lives including our marriages, parenting, finances, and even our sexuality.

This message will convict and encourage you to stop hiding behind facades and embrace the beautiful truth that God's power is made perfect in our weakness. When we truly submit every area to His authority, we develop what Pastor Jarrod calls "wise faith" - a faith that trusts God completely rather than trying to maintain control where it's uncomfortable.
