In this powerful message, Richard and Kathy Howell remind us that God isn’t looking for perfection or performance—He’s looking for surrendered hearts. Using examples from the lives of Moses, Gideon, Saul, and David, they unpack how God chooses ordinary, flawed people to accomplish His extraordinary purposes.

We dive into key questions every believer must ask:

What does Jesus look for in those who follow Him?

What do we actually need to serve well?

Where does real transformation happen?

And where do we get the strength to keep pursuing life with the Lord, even when it’s hard?

This sermon is a call back to simple, humble obedience—a life dependent not on our own power, but on the Spirit of God.

Watch now and be encouraged to trade striving for surrender.
