How the Gospel Speaks to Suicide
1 Samuel 31:1-10 CSB
I. Suicide is the last attempt to have control in a life that seems out of control
II. At the heart of our lives is the issue of control.
Sermon Main Idea- The freedom to live life with purpose is found in relinquishing any control that we think we have over our lives to the One Who created us, by trusting Him to provide our needs and refusing to make life happen by our strength.
