Why Bother With Surrender? | Why Bother Series

About this episode

Pastor Leonce discusses the concept of surrendering to true purpose as revealed in scripture.

Discover why true purpose isn't something you create — it's something you surrender to. Pastor Leonce unpacks Colossians 1:15-20 and Ephesians 2:10 to reveal that Jesus is the foundation of all existence, and that you are God's poiema — a poem intentionally crafted with meaning already written into you. If you're tired of carrying the weight of self-made purpose, this message will challenge you to open your hands and trade exhaustion for the freedom found in divine design. This is week 2 of “Why Bother?” — a seven-week series asking honest questions about faith. ___________________________ Thank you for listening to United Church's podcast!
