“Surrender” is a word that often has a negative connotation. But when it comes to our Christian faith, surrender is absolutely necessary. As Christians, we surrender our ways for God's ways.

In this series, we’ll be looking at stories of significant figures in the Bible. We'll learn about people who chose to surrender to God and the rewards they reaped by doing so.
