Speaker: Bobby McDonald Title: Submitting to God's will Date: 07-19-2015 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central message is the importance of submitting to God's will in all circumstances. The speaker shares personal anecdotes, such as accepting traffic delays and yielding a parking spot, to illustrate that peace comes from accepting what God allows, even when it contradicts personal desires. He emphasizes that true submission, like Mary's response, means prioritizing God's will over personal rights or comfort.
