Welcome! I want to thank you for worshiping the Lord today. Life is about choices and you made the choice to be here this morning. I pray that you will sense the presence of the Lord in a mighty and powerful way.

This morning, I am continuing the series, "Why Did Jesus Suffer And Die For Me?" Jesus said – "I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly." Jesus came to give us real life in a real world.

Some Thoughts About Life　

1. Every moment we enjoy and every breath we breathe is a gift from God.
2. God is not obligated to keep me alive. God has a purpose and a plan for me, I must make a choice to fulfill His plan in my life.
3. The most secure and satisfying place to be is in total alignment with God’s purpose for your life. When I fulfill His plan I will know His blessing in my life.
4. It is possible to take the blessings of God for granted and become very comfortable in our day-to-day living. God has a way of helping us to leave our comfort zones.
5. God does not care about our comfort zones in life.
6. God is into "Crosses". He led us to follow the way of Jesus, die to ourselves, our flesh, our plans, and our agendas and live for Him and His purposes.
7. We need to ask these questions every day to ourselves:
            – What is God asking me to die to right now?
            – What is God asking me to live for right now?
8. We need to focus on the temporary nature of life. Every trial is temporary. Every pain will pass away. Every pleasure or gain in life is only momentary so what are we doing in life that will last forever?
9. What if you only had 24 hours to live? What would you do? What if you were given 30 days or a year to live? What would you do with your life?

This morning we need to ask the Lord to help us to live the life that He desires for us.
