Loser Like Me
By: (All)
Series: (All)
“Following Jesus is for losers!”- Sometimes what we chase as a win is an unworthy pursuit... In Luke 18, Don takes us through the story of the rich, young ruler. By every measure of worldly success he was winning, but he couldn't surrender everything to God! We want BOTH/AND discipleship, but Jesus offers EITHER/OR! What the man thought was a burden, Jesus thought was a bargain!
Included in this is inspiring worship from Central Wired Praise, and an uplifting Communion Message from Don Thomas!
May you be encouraged to "be a loser" in order to win! Shalom!

Jun 8, 2014The IMPACT of WorshipBy: Don ThomasSeries: Everyday Living...for JESUS!HOW do you deal with "Storms" in your life? God challenges us to PRAISE HIM in THE STORM!
