This week, Pastor Jess Ninaber opened up our Resurrection series with the truth that before we can see and experience resurrection, there must first be death. When we choose to die to ourselves, we are declaring who the true King is in our lives. This life that we live is not about us and our desires, it is about our Father in heaven, His will, and surrendering our will to Him. The practice of daily surrender and dying to self brings us closer to the Spotless Lamb, and we become more alive than ever before.
