In Not Just Close, Surrendered, Pastor Dustin Hanson delivers a timely call to move beyond spiritual proximity and into wholehearted obedience. It is possible to be around the things of God, know the language of faith, and still never fully yield your life to Jesus Christ.
Through the contrast of Palm Sunday crowds, Micah’s self-made religion, and Mary of Bethany’s costly devotion, this message reveals the difference between admiration and surrender. True blessing is not found in simply standing near Jesus, but in laying everything at His feet.
Surrender brings peace, power, transformation, clarity, and purpose. This sermon is an invitation to stop settling for surface-level faith and respond to Jesus with a life that is fully yielded to Him.
