    A look at what it means to "count the cost" and why that's so essential. This message calls down the cheap gospel presentations that we so often make that have no mention in them of what it actually means to follow Jesus.

    CHEAP FAITH: Too often we offer salvation that’s straight from the discount bin. - Luke 14:28-32. - Our approach to evangelism is too often to present salvation as a low-cost, no-commitment offer. All you need to do is say you believe in Jesus! That’s it! There’s no mention of the need for ...read more

    As I follow Jesus as his disciple, I can live a life of eternal purpose and significance.

    I’m convinced one of the reasons so many people were attracted to Jesus was that He offered them purpose for living. Yet Jesus wanted to make sure they really understood what He was all about. They could indeed find meaning and purpose in life, but first they had to commit to following Him as ...read more

    Many initially are willing to follow the Lord, but fail to count the cost. Upon realizing the great sacrifice necessary to follow Him, many are unwilling to pay the price. We must count the cost and be willing to pay the price in service to the Lord.

    The Cost of Discipleship Luke 14: 25-33 I am certainly thankful for the free gift of salvation. Christ paid our sin debt, reconciling us to God in salvation. This gift is freely available to all who receive it by faith. Salvation is free, but our service to the Lord is costly. If we are unwilling ...read more
