In this heartfelt Homecoming Sunday message titled “Tied for Fourteenth,” Rev. Ken Freshour — former associate pastor of Pleasant Grove Methodist Church (1986) — returns to share a powerful word on the meaning of the cross and the true cost of discipleship. With humor, warmth, and the wisdom of decades in ministry, Ken reflects on his early years at Pleasant Grove and reminds us that while “talent is cheap, dedication is costly.” Drawing from Luke 14:25–33, he challenges believers to count the cost, take up their cross, and live out the kind of faith that transforms lives. A moving message of gratitude, conviction, and deep faith — perfect for anyone seeking to rediscover the heart of Christian commitment.
