Installation of Assistant Pastor. How may a young woman make an impact? By acknowledging that it was God who brought her to this time and place, and by laying down her very life for the task.
A young woman in a very difficult situation. A crisis moment, for which no training could have fully prepared her. A dangerous moment, one in which the future of a whole people lay in the balance.

Jesus said that if we are thinking about following Him, then we should first add up the cost. If we have not considered the task ahead of time, then we may give up; and when this happens, it is a bad testimony to the world.
This evening’s message is entitled, “Counting the Cost,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that is sometimes called, “The Cost of Discipleship.” When Jesus spoke about the cost of discipleship He incorporated two parables to illustrate His point. One parable speaks of a tower builder and ...read more
