The Cost of Discipleship by Leonard Ravenhill
& Spiritual Maturity
Topic: Discipleship
Scripture(s): Romans 6:7
Description: "95% of the Christians in America said they were one of two things: Either 'I am carnal' (a carnal Christian) or number two 'I'm a babe in Christ'" Ravenhill preached his heart out to birth this sermon. I encourage you to watch the video. You can almost hear his heart pump with anguish for the precious souls who hear him. Let this be the sermon preached at your own funeral. Let your own funeral happen when you hear this sermon.
