     | 4,254 views

    When we walk with Jesus, our lives are filled with meaning and rich. But the Christian life is not an easy life, forcing us to first count the cost as we evaluate the following facts.

    The Realities of Discipleship (Mark 8: 34-38, Psalm 49 and Daniel 7:13-14) 1. The Sunday School teacher taught her class, “The wicked kings and queens of the Bible thought no one or nothing was more powerful than they were.

     | 4,867 views

    Sometimes we presume to play God's part and forget about our part.

    Things are not always as we want them to be. Disappointments, disasters, distresses, diseases, dilemmas, discouragement and depression destroy our dreams and desires. Problems seem to be the norm and solutions seem inadequate. Our need is urgent, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel. ...read more

    One that calls himself a follower of Jesus is not necessarily a follower of Jesus.

    Count the Cost Luke 14:25-33 Jesus never promised that following Him is easy. Again and again, he told all who would listen that discipleship might cost them everything, even their lives.

    The Cost to Serve Matthew 10: 34-39 Jesus had revealed much to the disciples regarding what they could expect as they answered the call to proclaim the Good News. He warned that the task would not be easy, many would reject them, and they would face opposition along the way. However, in the midst ...read more
