The ultimate paradox of the Christian life is that victory comes through surrender. Most of us aspire to a life of abandonment to God and his purposes, but we find the daily grind and our old habits get in the way. Jesus knew he set the bar high, but he didn't leave us without guidance. In these six sessions, you'll learn from his teaching and example the character qualities essential to a "life less ordinary," a life of worshipful surrender.

'Trust can be a tough issue for kids. Chances are, your students want to rely on God for everything, but are still holding on to the ideal of self-sufficiency. Surrendering to Christ Together looks at the life of Jesus and shows students how giving in to God can be the best decision they will ever make. Six sessions will let students explore the heart issues of surrender that lead to deeper worship: - Afloat in a Storm: How do I trust God when everything seems to be falling apart? - The Key to Significance: How do I let go of my goals and discover what God wants me to do? - True Greatness: How do I become great in God's eyes? - Wild Gratitude: How do I respond to Christ for everything he's done for me? - Ultimate Trust: How do I know it's God's will if it's the thing that makes the least sense? - Victory Over Death: What does it mean to me that Jesus conquered death? Students who develop a lifelong faith yield to Jesus at every turn. Surrendering to Christ Together is the best way to help your kids learn that submission to God truly is the best way to live.'
