Impact: Submission possible

Sermon by Pastor Corky Calhoun

We live in a world where the word "submission" has become a posture to be avoided at all costs. It's seen more as Mission Impossible. The truth is we all submit to things everyday despite our abhorrence of being considered submissive to anything. But the journey of a discipleship begins with the 2 words...follow me. Jesus said them, and because these 12 followed faithfully, well its allowed us to sit in our church each Sunday a living testimony of the legacy of submission. I think Christians who struggle with submitting to Christ reflect the fact that at least in the North American Church we are looking for a Savior and not so much a Lord. I don't meet anyone who doesn't want to be rescued from something, their sin, the consequences of bad choices, the overflow of brokenness in our world, but so few want to submit their lives permanently to the rescuer. They just want to be rescued and released. Some people treat their spiritual lives like buying Holy Life Insurance, the problem is that you never end up making an Impact on your way to heaven. There is nothing Biblical about this approach. The fact is one can not exist without the other, I'm not sure Jesus can be your savior, if Jesus is not also your Lord.
