     | 7,291 views

    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.

All you need to do is say you believe in Jesus! That’s it! There’s no mention of the need for ...read more
