SURRENDER Matthew 8.18–22 Dr. Gordon Dabbs Recognizing Jesus as Lord isn’t optional; it’s essential for having a genuine relationship with Him. Why? Because any version of Jesus that leaves out His Lordship is a made-to-order, incomplete version of Him—a Jesus of our own design, not the real One. And that’s what a lot of people miss in the Gospels. They want Jesus as life coach, not Lord. But the...

Mark 2.16-17 (NLT) When the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, "Why does he eat with such scum?" When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not th...

There are no solo disciples in the Kingdom. God places people in your life—and places you in theirs—because the Gospel doesn’t just move through sermons or scripture; it moves through relationships.
