    based on 1 rating
     | 4,788 views

    We are to live as dead men; Dead to fleshly desires. Jesus said, “Follow Me”. To “follow” Him, you must “take up your cross”. We “must” become Less so that we can become oh so much more!

    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.

    Surrendering Credentials To Christ

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,943 views

    If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

The military is basically an up-or-out system, so it attracts into career service those who are driven to succeed. Many of you are ...read more

    In this sin sick world we live in, the prevailing attitude is “What’s in it for me?” Even in the church, people choose their church as to what will benefit me the most. Where can I get my needs met. Rarely do you hear of people who feel called to a church because of what they can contribute vice ...read more
