About this episode
Pastor Keith Cross discusses the importance of surrendering to God as the pathway to victory, based on James 4:1–12.
In this message, Faith Submits, Pastor Keith Cross walks through James 4:1–12 and shows us that many of the battles we face begin with a struggle for control. Whether it's the pull of our flesh, the pressure of the world, or the attacks of the enemy, God invites us to stop striving in our own strength and surrender to Him. James reminds us that God gives more grace to the humble. As we draw near to Him, He draws near to us. As we humble ourselves before Him, He lifts us up. The pathway to victory isn't found in self-sufficiency. It's found in submission to God. 📖 Scripture: James 4:1–12 Main Idea: Surrender isn't the path to defeat; it's the only pathway to victory.
