Jesus Loves Me!

If someone asked you, "What do I need to believe to be a Christian?" what would you say?

Do you know that Jesus loves you?  Do you know why it's so important for your own life and for those who don't yet know Jesus? Chris Brooks and Pastor John S. Dickerson review what Christians believe and why it matters!
