The Gospel According to Jesus: The Cost of Discipleship

What does it take to follow Christ? What does Christ have to say about the Gospel? The answers to these questions are hard pills to swallow, but a reality we need to be confronted with and must not ignore. This is the second of four messages I spoke at Winterfest 2011 at Lake Lundgren Bible Camp, Pembine, WI. In this message we took a look at Luke 24:15-35, as well as several cross-references, and examined what it means to follow Christ.

My first reason is that I wanted something simpler than ICUO. ICUO had a great format, but the maintenance was too time consuming. Kirk Miller Blog has much simpler maintenance, which hopefully means I will be able to post more in less time.
