The more God placed in you is going to cost you something.

In the fourth installment of Ministry Costs, Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell explores what it means to be consecrated, set apart, and filled with the Holy Spirit—not just for the elite few, but for every believer.

He unpacks the cost of carrying God’s anointing: the sacrifices, the transformation, and the separation often required when stepping fully into God’s purpose.

Whether you’re serving on the front lines of ministry or simply seeking to grow in your walk with God, this message will challenge and encourage you.

Ministry isn’t about a platform—it’s about presenting your whole life, not just your beliefs, as a living sacrifice to God. Are you willing to pay the price?

In this message, "Ministry Cost," Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell leads us through a powerful exploration of Romans 12 and the call to present our lives as living sacrifices to God. He challenges common misconceptions around holiness—showing that true sacrifice goes far beyond issues of sexuality, extending to every aspect of our lives: our dreams, habits, relationships, ambitions, and even how we care for our bodies.

Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell reveals that ministry is not just about holding a title or standing on a platform; instead, it's about ministering first to God through our daily choices and then to others with a message of reconciliation through Christ. Through convicting anecdotes and candid teaching, he unpacks the real cost of following Jesus and calls us to a life of authenticity, discipline, and radical transformation—inside and out.
