In this group how is God working?

Can we encourage others by sharing your story or the stories from others in your group?
Let us hear from you: pathwaychurch.com/share

BIG IDEA:
Surrender is not about us. It’s about God, people, and His mission.
TEACHING POINTS:
  1. Surrender means giving up our will and desires for God’s will and His desires.
  2. Surrender means we see the world with new eyes.
  3. Surrender means our lives will move in a new direction.
SCRIPTURE: Acts 9:1-22 NIV
