"Is Jesus Worth It?"
Luke; 14:25-33 | Pastor Aaron McMillan
Very often we come to church when we need a little encouragement, when we are looking for direction or help. That's good! But one thing that stands out about Jesus as you get to know Him is how demanding He could be. He totally believed that what He was doing was the most important thing and that His followers should know that. What does this mean for us today and why is the "hard" side of Jesus something we still very much need? Join us for worship and we'll talk about it!
