Heroes-A Hero worth Submitting To
Learning to submit shows us where we must learn to surrender to Christ.
Submission is a negative word in our society, yet it measures our level of surrender. The more I surrender to Christ, the less difficulty I have in submitting to others (Eph 5:21). Jacob's wrestling match with God taught him lessons on submission by teaching him the value of surrender.

Parents/Leaders are not the standard, but the steward.

The greatest hindrance to accomplishing God's Vision for our lives is pursuing our own vision for our life.
