Pastor Alvin III kicks off our new series with a powerful challenge: Is salvation just about being saved from something, or is it about being joined to Someone? True salvation is the merging of your life with Christ. This isn't passive—it's the choice to surrender all and live as a living sacrifice. Discover why following Jesus means intentionally counting the cost and believing His will is greater than anything you could give up. Plus, learn why Jesus' invitation to follow Him comes with "strings attached"—and why that's actually the best news ever.    Scripture references: Hebrews 12:2 Romans 12:1-2 John 15:6 Luke 14:25-33   We’d love to hear from you!
