Spirit Life Church-MN

If we choose to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, we not only need to count the cost, we also need to keep counting the cost. Andy Stanley said "You get to choose if you will serve Jesus, but you don't get to choose what serving Jesus looks like." In the message, we look at some of the expectations Jesus requires of those wanting to become like Him.

Discipleship can be confusing, but the Bible is pretty clear on what discipleship is, it's costly. We live in a world where billions of people say they are Christians, disciples of Jesus, but by the way they live, they look nothing like Him. We hope that this series will help you discern your own relationship with Jesus and encourage you to make any needed adjustments. It's not what you know that makes you a disciple, it's how you live.

This message will help lead you to the truth found only in Christ.
