    based on 67 ratings
     | 35,905 views

    God doesn’t want us to know WHEN we’re going to die, but He stresses the fact that one day we shall (if Jesus doesn’t return first). Why does God want us to face the reality of our own mortality? Why stress that we will all die?

    The Way Up Is Down: Serve One Another Series

    Contributed by Dan Raymond on Mar 7, 2016
     | 11,279 views

    However, for many people, serving doesn't conjure up a positive image. Instead, they think of endless menial chores, cleaning up other people's messes, and catering to their vain whims. Yet the New Testament calls us to become servants of one another.

    What do you think of when you hear the word serve? No, I don't mean the opening hit of the racket in a tennis match. I'm not even talking about your waiter or waitress at Shiela’s. I mean what does a servant look like? What picture comes to mind? It's possible that you have a positive image. ...read more

    The Bible makes it abundantly clear that God wants to heal His people and to prosper them in health. He said, "I am the LORD, who heals you" (Exodus 15:26 KJV).

     | 10,910 views

    In Romans 8:18-30, Paul helps us to understand how the groaning of our suffering can lead to glory, because the Holy Spirit helps us when we don't know what to pray, and God is working good through all things to conform us to the image of His Son.
