Following Jesus isn’t easy – Pastor Gary will make that clear today. But, he’s not telling you this to scare you away from God! Instead, he’s simply being realistic about the costs you’ll likely encounter as you faithfully pursue a relationship with Jesus. Doing this isn’t all loss though – there’s so much to be gained! There’s a deep and meaningful connection to the God of the Universe, something that you can depend on time and again. The Lord is with you and is guiding you to the best life you could live – with Him!
