The word "surrender" is not a popular word, by any means, whether it refers to an army, a prized possession, or even a cherished idea or belief. In "The Lord's Prayer" there is the phrase, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done." This has overtones of our giving up something, or surrendering. Today we may find a surprising blessing when we surrender our desires to the Lord. Look with us in these next few minutes how this can work.

The term "forgive and forget" is a catchy slogan, but when it comes to putting it into practice, that is another matter.

Have you ever gone to church and found yourself looking around at who else is there? The poet Robert Burns wrote a poem about this. He looked at the person sitting in front of him and saw a louse (plural of this word is "lice.") sitting on this person's collar. So he wrote a poem and gave it the title, "To a Louse." We don't know if the poet heard the sermon that day or not! Our subject this morning is "Four People Who Go to Church." Stay with us; maybe we will hear about more than a louse on someone's collar.

Have you ever been afraid? That probably is a foolish question, since most of us would have to admit that there have been times when we have really been afraid. The Bible always has a word of help to us in any situation in our lives when we have special needs, and surely God's Word can help us when we are afraid. Today we will look at two Bible verses: Psalm 56:3 and Isaiah 12:2, and see what God has to say to us when we are afraid.
