Surrender: Whose Name Is On Your Pink Slip? (2 of 10)
Series: Mind Games
Pastor Chris Brown
Luke 5:1-11

Why surrendering isn't a bad plan:
Luke 5:1-11, Mark 8:31-37, John 21:15-22, 1 John 4:7-21

• Surrender starts when we realize who we are and who God is

• The act of surrender is defined by who we surrender to

• The hardest thing about surrendering is no longer being in charge

• The best thing about surrendering is no longer being in charge

Defining surrender:
Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 2:20

• Surrender is a daily mindset, not a one-time decision

• Surrender is surrender, not a treaty

Matthew 6:9-13, 25:14-30, 26:39-44

1. Have a mindset that it's God's Kingdom, not ours

2. Daily ask "How would God want me to manage his life?"

3. Realize one day he will ask me the same question
