Drawing near to God requires repentance, utter surrender, and faith in Jesus. When we submit completely at the cross, God meets us with grace, bringing healing, restoration, and a new calling.
James 4:11-17
Pastor John teaches that living humbly requires acknowledging God's supreme authority over our lives and relationships. This means controlling speech by refraining from slander or judgment against others, and accepting the frailty of life by trusting in divine will rather than personal plans.
