1. The Benefits of surrender
Romans 12:1-2
Luke 12:15-32

2. Surrender: Considering Ourselves:
A Living Sacrifice
A Slave of God
An Obedient Child
An Ambassador for God
A Trusting Sheep
On Mission for God

3. Surrender to God Frees us from the drive for possessions Luke 12:15-21
We realize we have a greater mission
We realize we have a more enduring goal

4. Surrender to God Frees us from the drive for possessions Luke 12:15-21
Frees us from the fight for survival He provides for those who pursue His kingdom
God knows how to provide
God controls what we cannot
God knows what we need in every aspect of life: worrying is for pagans

5. Surrender to God Frees us from the search for significance
Our identity is to be in Him and His Kingdom
Don’t live by what others think, live by what God says
Don’t let others set your goals, use the standards of God’s Word
