Following vs. "Believing" Jesus (Audio Sermon)

Michelle and I after running our 5k

^{Audio of what I shared at Glendora Alliance Church on 12/9/2012. Be forewarned... I was highly caffeinated.}
 

 Key scripture: Matthew 16:24-27. 
"Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵ For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. ²⁶ For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? ²⁷ For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done."
