2026-07-19 - Forward - Sincere Enough to Seek, But Not Surrendered Enough to Follow - Lorenzo Grajeda by Avenue Church

John 18:1-14Pastor Brian Moffatt

Are you committed to doing the work, or are you truly surrendered to the Father's heart? In this episode of the Revolve Recap Podcast, we unpack the critical distinction between being merely committed vs. fully surrendered to the Lord. We break down what "Up, In, and Out" means for Revolve Church, and discuss how to shift your heart's posture away from just "going through the motions."We also touch on the subtle difference between the Spirit's gentle conviction and the enemy's accusations, as well as what it means to be vulnerable and deeply engaged with one another in God's mission.CHAPTERS:00:00 - Intro01:21 - Announcements02:24 - Question of the Day10:56 - Sermon Recap14:20 - Up, In and Out?15:33 - Spiritual Disciplines30:28 - Committed to the Church41:11 - God's MissionCONNECT WITH REVOLVE CHURCH:Website: www.revolvechurchnj.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/revolvechurchnj#RevolveChurch #FaithPodcast #Christianity #SurrenderVsCommitment #SpiritualDisciplines #ChurchCommunity

Philippians 1 : 12 - 26

What does it actually mean to surrender your life to Jesus? A life changed by Christ should produce a growing hunger for God's Word, a desire to tell others about Jesus, and a willingness to serve. Salvation is not simply about escaping judgment and going to heaven. It is about belonging to Christ and saying, “Lord, here's my life. Whatever you want to do with it, use it for Your glory.” Ultimately, the question is simple: Are we living according to our agenda, or are we willing to surrender everything to the King?

How do we actually become surrendered people? Is sanctification entirely the work of the Holy Spirit, or does becoming more like Jesus require effort on our part? In Part Three of this series on living surrendered to God, Tracy explores the biblical relationship between grace, effort, obedience, and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. We cannot make ourselves like Jesus through willpower or religious performance—but neither does Scripture describe the Christian life as passive. Philippians 2:12–13 gives us the beautiful tension: we work because God is already at work within us. The Holy Spirit convicts, teaches, empowers, renews, and produces His fruit in us. Our part is to respond—to repent, obey, renew our minds, put off the old, put on the new, resist temptation, and practice saying yes to God. And that "yes" is part of spiritual warfare. Not every battle is loud or dramatic. Sometimes spiritual warfare is simply choosing forgiveness when the flesh wants resentment, humility when pride wants the last word, or trust when fear demands control. Using the biblical picture of a horse becoming increasingly responsive to its handler, Tracy asks a simple but challenging question: Are we becoming easier for God to lead? Sanctification isn't perfection overnight. It is the Holy Spirit forming Christ in us as we learn, one surrendered decision at a time, to recognize the Shepherd's voice and respond: "Yes, Lord." _____ This podcast is listener-supported.

What does it truly mean to give God our lives? Romans 12:1-2 challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith and into something far more radical and transformative. Paul opens this chapter with a single word that carries the weight of eleven chapters of gospel truth behind it: 'therefore.' Because of everything God has already done for us, because of his mercy, his grace, his faithfulness even when we have failed him, there is a response being called out of us. That response is not a transaction or a checklist. It is surrender. Paul paints a vivid picture by borrowing the language of Old Testament sacrifice, asking us to present ourselves as living sacrifices. The tension in that image is striking and deeply personal. A living sacrifice can crawl off the altar. And if we are honest with ourselves, we do exactly that. We surrender on Sunday and take control back by Monday. This message calls us to examine which parts of our lives we are still holding back, and to consider what it would look like to lay them down completely as an act of genuine worship.

Preached on opening Sunday morning of Missions Conference 2026. Hebrews 11:1-16

Welcome to Season 2 of Not by Sight: Faith in the Valley!If you're new here - welcome! Since it's been a few years since my last episode, I want to re-introduce myself. In 2020, I felt God calling me to start a podcast - a place where He was asking me to “proclaim what the Lord has done” (Psalm 118:17b), and where others could proclaim what He has done in their lives, too. That verse became my starting point because it was the scripture that carried me as my shield and refuge while I fought cancer for a second time in 2015. (You can hear my full story in Season 1, Episode 1.This theme of walking by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7) runs throughout the lives of people in the Bible, and it runs through our lives too. Most of us have at least one story where we've had to exercise faith in the middle of crisis, with no idea how things would turn out. It's in those places that faith becomes real - or where we walk away from it altogether.This podcast is about pressing into Jesus in the middle of uncertainty. You'll hear stories from people who chose to trust the Lord when life threw them a curveball, when hope was all they had left. It's choosing faith in the valley.On this episode, I sit down again with one of my spiritual heroes, Andrea Kaiser. She and her husband, Daniel, are missionaries in Jinja, Uganda, where their mission is to restore families through the power of the gospel. Andrea was orphaned at 14, after surviving the car crash that killed her parents and older sister. (If you haven't heard her story yet, go back to Season 1, Episode 13 - it's powerful.) God is using her surrendered, compassionate heart to reach others in the slums of Jinja and beyond.To support Andrea's organization visit:https://riversofjoyafrica.org

Somebody is already performing the banking function in your life. The question is: Who? Jim Oliver and Kyle Reese kick off a new series breaking down one of the most influential books in Jim's financial life: Becoming Your Own Banker by R. Nelson Nash. Jim admits that when he first read the book, he didn't get it. His traditional financial-planning mindset led him to dismiss it as another way to sell life insurance. It wasn't until he met Nelson and changed the way he thought about money that the bigger concept clicked. IBC isn't fundamentally about chasing a better return. It's about asking a much bigger question: Who owns and controls the process through which your money moves? Key Takeaways - Somebody is already your banker. Your money is constantly moving through purchases, financing, savings, debt, assets, and businesses. -Nelson wasn't searching for another insurance product. He was trying to regain control over capital and the financing taking place throughout his life. -IBC is about financing—not simply life insurance. The policy provides the structure, but the bigger question is who performs the banking function in your life. -Stop making everything about the rate of return. The larger question is who controls—and profits from—the movement of capital through your household or business. -Think long range. IBC isn't a get-rich-quick strategy. Nelson's approach was to prepare the ground, capitalize patiently, and think in decades. Financial freedom requires responsibility. Jim and Kyle leave listeners with a powerful idea: the opposite of financial freedom isn't poverty—it's dependency. Ready to Take More Control of Your Money? If you're curious about Infinite Banking, already have a policy but aren't sure how to use it, or simply want to know whether IBC makes sense for you, start with a conversation. No pressure.

What does a surrendered life actually look like? We don't have to guess—we can look at Jesus. In Part Two of this series on living surrendered to God, Tracy explores how Jesus modeled surrender throughout His entire earthly life. Gethsemane was not the beginning of His surrender; it was the culmination of a life already yielded to the Father. From the incarnation and His years of obscurity in Nazareth to His dependence upon the Father, His willingness to wait for God's timing, and finally His prayer, "Not My will, but Yours be done," Jesus shows us what trust-filled obedience looks like. But surrender doesn't mean that obedience is always easy or that we never wrestle with fear, grief, or difficult emotions. Jesus Himself experienced anguish in Gethsemane. The difference between wrestling and rebellion is what we ultimately do with our will. This episode also explores surrender as spiritual warfare, the relationship between trust and obedience, and why the cross—seemingly a moment of defeat—became the greatest victory over the powers of darkness. Surrender isn't weakness. It is what love looks like when it fully trusts the Father. ____ This podcast is listener-supported.

At 40, Marcus Aurelius Anderson was paralyzed from the neck down and, in his own words, suicidal. What finally moved him wasn't willpower, it was surrender. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Marcus Aurelius Anderson — Army veteran, author, speaker, and CEO of Catalyst International — to talk about the four months he spent fighting his own paralysis before he finally stopped resisting it. They dig into why adversity only shows its "gift" in hindsight, the difference between patience and hesitation, and why most leaders are the actual bottleneck in their own business. Marcus also breaks down two tools he uses with clients to stay regulated under real pressure: the "Hungry Judge" bias (how sleep, blood sugar, and fatigue quietly warp your decisions) and the parachute breath, a 30-second reset for people who don't have five minutes for box breathing. It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action, the strength to keep pushing, paired with the humility to know when to let go. Marcus is the author of the new book Acta Non Verba ("actions, not words") and host of the Acta Non Verba podcast. Find him at marcusaureliusanderson.com.

What does it really mean to live a life surrendered to God? In this episode, Tracy begins a new teaching series on surrender, submission, trust, obedience, and spiritual formation. Surrender is not weakness, passivity, or religious control. It is part of spiritual warfare because every time we yield our will to the Father, we are refusing the enemy's invitation to self-rule and coming under the reign of Christ. But surrender can feel frightening, especially when our ability to trust has been shaped by betrayal, disappointment, or past wounds. How do we become willing to be clay in the Potter's hand when we cannot physically see the Father's arms waiting to catch us? This teaching explores the difference between conviction and condemnation, the trustworthiness of God's character, the example of Jesus in Gethsemane, and the role of the Holy Spirit in sanctification. True surrender begins not with trying harder, but with learning to trust the heart of the Father. ____ This podcast is listener-supported.

As we look at the values that root us in who we are as a church, Surrendered Obedience means letting go of control and letting God take control. When life feels uncertain and the road ahead is confusing, the safest place for us to be is not in control but in a place of surrender. Real faith trusts God enough to obey Him, surrenders enough to let go, and believes God enough to expect Him to provide. In Genesis 22, God asked Abraham to do something that didn't make sense. Abraham's “yes” was already on the table. Surrendered obedience always comes before understanding. When God speaks, obey. Our part is to show up, take God at His Word, and follow Him one step at a time. Surrendered obedience isn't the absence of failures. It's choosing to trust God beyond our last mistake. What God wanted from Abraham was not his son but his surrender. What is it that God has asked you to do that you haven't done yet? Take the first step of obedience. Say, “God, here I am. Speak.” Whatever He says to you, do it.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/awkL-0zuHg4Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_

In week four of Almost to All In, we're talking about moving from almost surrendered to going all in with Jesus. Through the story of Philip and the Ethiopian man in Acts 8, we see how God positions ordinary people for extraordinary impact, how the Good News of Jesus truly is for everyone, and why obedience doesn't have to wait until we have everything figured out. For those who have put their faith in Jesus but have almost taken the step of baptism, the invitation is simple: stop waiting for someday. Believe first. Baptism next. It's time to respond to God's grace and go all in.

Pastor Jared delivers a message about what it means to truly worship God—not just through our songs, but through a life of surrender and obedience. We are called to approach a holy God with reverence, while remembering that through Jesus, we have been made worthy to enter His presence. He is holy. He is worthy. He is Lord.

The sermon explores the demanding requirements for discipleship found in Mark chapter 8, emphasizing that following Jesus necessitates a daily decision to deny oneself and take up one's cross. It contrasts the temporary pleasures of the world with the eternal value of the soul, warning that gaining the whole world is futile if one loses their spiritual life. The preacher highlights the internal struggle against the flesh, referencing Romans 7 to illustrate the need for reliance on Christ rather than self-effort. Additionally, the message addresses the fear of man, urging believers not to be ashamed of Christ in this sinful generation lest they face rejection by Him at His return. Ultimately, the text calls for total devotion and surrender, asserting that true life is found only through dying to self and fully committing to the Savior.

Jesus Christ speaks of His death and resurrection, and St. Peter objects, possibly because he had no understanding on the kind of Messiah that Jesus was to be.

Slavery has unfortunately been common in many civilizations, including the Roman Empire during the first century A.D. But Paul gave instructions to both slaves and masters, elevating “bondservants” to equal status within the body of Christ. Then he used the same term “bondservant” to describe himself in his relationship with Jesus. The Bible encourages all of us to understand what it means to live a surrendered life to Jesus, our Master. Join Pastor Gary as he shares the historical and practical application of what it means to be a “bondservant of Jesus Christ.”

The Disciples Corner

Speaker: Pastor Nate Richie

From the author of the well-known hymn “Deeper and Deeper” To be a Christian for ten years and to be no more like Jesus then, than at the time of conversion, is a tragedy. There are some who have only been saved six months who are more like Christ than others who have been on the way for six years. Only those who spend much time in His presence will ever become like Him. Only those who give Him their undivided attention will really come to know Him. To get His best we must give Him our best. To become men and women after His heart we must let Him have our undivided attention. To win we must surrender. To live we must die. To receive we must give. And, oh! the sweetness of such a life, the joy of His fellowship! There is nothing like it on earth. All the success in the world will not compensate for it. Friends can never mean so much. Even loved ones disappoint. Money brings its burdens, and fame its bitterness. But He, He satisfies. God is never a disappointment. To walk with Him is the sweetest thing on earth. To know that all is well, that there is nothing between, that no black cloud of sin hides His face – ah! that is heaven indeed. Then let us pray it, mean it, and live it: “Lord, make me a man after Your own heart.” About the Author Oswald J. Smith (1889–1986) was a Canadian pastor, author, hymn writer, and one of the twentieth century's foremost advocates for world missions. He established The Peoples Church in Toronto in 1928 and over his lifetime, he preached more than 12,000 sermons in 80 countries, wrote 35 books, and composed over 1,200 hymns and poems, including the beloved hymn Deeper and Deeper. In 1916, he married Daisy Billings, whose faithful support strengthened his ministry for more than fifty years. Together they raised a family, including their son Paul, who later succeeded him as pastor of The Peoples Church.

Join us today as Christopher Ferrell delivers a message titled "A Prayer of a Surrendered Heart" giving us 2 questions, four truths, three applications, and eighteen points on when we can pray. Key Passage: Psam 86. August 16th, 2026

Everyone lives by a worldview—a lens through which we interpret our purpose, morality, relationships, and ultimate truth. In this message, grounded in Romans 12:1–2, Rodgers Atwebembeire explores what shapes our perspective and what it truly means to adopt a biblical worldview. Starting with the foundation of God's unearned mercy, this teaching reveals how genuine faith transforms not only our hearts, but our minds, bodies, and daily conduct.

“I've not gone back to any of the old places,” reflects the protagonist in the new novel “A Tender Age.” But that is just what the author Chang-rae Lee does, in this, his most personal book yet. Set in the 70s, the story follows an eleven-year-old Korean American boy caught between his doting immigrant parents and a roving pack of neighborhood kids — until one summer changes everything. Lee, a Stanford professor and Pulitzer Prize finalist joins us. Guest:Chang-rae Lee, author, “A Tender Age,” He is also the author of the award-winning novel “Native Speaker” and the Pulitzer Prize-nominated “The Surrendered,” among other works.

Salvation isn't the finish line — it's the seed. In this message, we dig into what it actually looks like to grow into full maturity in Christ: how God, like a patient gardener, deliberately creates the conditions around us — the seasons of ease, the seasons of struggle — for our formation to reach its full potential. But formation isn't something that just happens to us. We'll look at how our own response to those conditions — our belief or disbelief, our action or inaction — shapes what actually grows in us, using Jesus's own path of surrender as the model, and a personal story of miracles, doubt, and learning to be formed by God's voice instead of what we can see.

Join Chris Montgomery as he delves into the profound impact of service within a church community. Through personal anecdotes and biblical teachings, the discussion explores how serving others not only strengthens personal faith but also builds a supportive church family. Discover the blessings of involving your family in service, building a community, and the joy of fulfilling God's calling. Perfect for those new to church or looking for a deeper connection with their faith.

This week we sit down with Christian artist Forrest Frank — live from the tour bus — to talk about what it looks like to steward massive success while keeping your heart fully surrendered to God. Forrest opens up about eight years of grinding before his breakthrough, how he stopped sneaking Jesus into his music and started giving him every breath, and why the surrendered life is available to everyone — not just the people in the arena. This one will leave you fired up!

Have you invited Jesus into every part of your health journey? ...or just the parts you're comfortable giving Him? In today's episode, we're exploring 1 John 2:20-23 and talking about the hidden places where we often keep Jesus at arm's length. Maybe it's the scale. Maybe it's calorie tracking. Maybe it's body image. Maybe it's control. Whatever "room" you've kept locked, Jesus isn't asking to condemn you—He's asking to lead you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why healing your relationship with food starts with surrender—not another nutrition plan. The difference between asking Jesus to bless your plans versus letting Him lead them. How control keeps us from experiencing God's best. Why obedience matters more than sacrifice. How to recognize the areas of your life you've been reluctant to surrender. Ready to heal your relationship with food with Jesus at the center?
