"Coming to the End of Ourselves: Surrendering to God's Grace"

Introduction:
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today, we gather to explore a profound spiritual journey - the journey of coming to the end of ourselves and surrendering to God's grace. This transformational experience is beautifully portrayed in the Scriptures, as we'll see through the ten verses I will share with you.

I. Recognizing Our Need for God:

1. Romans 3:23 (NKJV) - "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

2. Romans 7:24-25 (NKJV) - "O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

II. Surrendering Our Will to God:

3. Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) - "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

4. Matthew 16:24 (NKJV) - "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.'"

III. Trusting God's Wisdom:

5. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

6. 1 Corinthians 1:25 (NKJV) - "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."

IV. Finding Strength in Weakness:

7. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NKJV) - "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

V. Letting Go of Burdens:

8. Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) - "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

9. Psalm 55:22 (NKJV) - "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved."
