2 Corinthians 12:1-10 Grace Gives Me Strength MAIN THOUGHT: Grace teaches me how to daily depend upon God. COUNTER THOUGHT: When I try to live on just “spiritual experiences”, I can never live a “strong” Christian life.

Luke 14:25-33 How Much Will It Cost? Salvation is free. Discipleship costs. We say in English: There is no such thing as a free lunch. The same is true with our salvation. So I want to take a few minutes for us to evaluate how much it would have to eternal life. Dietrich Bonhoeffer spoke about this. He even wrote a book entitled The Cost of Discipleship. So I want us to look at three pictures that Jesus shares with... Read more
