Surrender Fully

by Brad Murphy | Feb 1, 2026

Part 5 of 13 | Facing Failure Series

Surrender Fully teaches us that a small compromise, when we let our guard down a little, can turn a life of obedience into a moment of disobedient destruction. After preaching to others, we ourselves can become disqualified.

“Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.”

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2025), 1 Co 10:11–12.

Sermon Outline

Scripture: 1 Kings 13:11-32; Galatians 1:8, 6:1; 1 Corinthians 9:27; Philippians 2:8 (ESV)

Facing Failure Series

January 4 to March 29, 2026

Failure is something we all share, but it does not have to define us. In Facing Failure, we will study 1 Kings and the real stories of leaders who struggled with fear, pride, and compromise. Together, we will learn how to recognize destructive patterns, face our failures with honesty, and respond to God’s gracious invitation to walk in wisdom, faith, and renewed obedience.
