Absolute Surrender (Part 2) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

In Part 2 of this series on “Absolute Surrender” we continue to examine the Bible principles about dying to yourself. Being Spirit-controlled is an important guard against being a castaway or not approved or qualified for service to the Lord. Paul spoke about this in 1 Corinthians 9:27. * 1 Corinthians 9:27- But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. In 1896, Judson W. Van DeVenter penned the following words after surrendering to the Lord to be an evangelist. He wrestled with this decision for five years but finally chose to serve the Lord in this way. God has used these words to touch the hearts of millions of Christians. They have been sung in thousands of churches for over 125 years. When Billy Graham was a young evangelist, he stated this song influenced him greatly. What was this powerful song? Listen to the message and you will find out the answer. This message was preached on Sunday morning, November 26, 2023, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
