In 1994-1995, Robin Leach starred in the television series, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. The program featured those who lived in excess. Their overdone lifestyles became a mocking form of entertainment. Reacting to the excesses of our culture, Christians pride themselves on frugality. In so doing, we may have become men and women of cheap worship who make too little of Jesus. In this part of the Bible, the apostle John teaches us the more we know Jesus , the more extravagant our lives will become.

Diseases, such as cancer, grab us by the ankles and drag us into the jaws of death. If God loves us, why do we get sick? If Jesus loves us so much that he died for us, why does he allow these heartbreak into our lives? In John 11, we learn it is because of Jesus' love for us that he allow sickness and suffering into our lives. That feels backwards! Join us in discovering how Jesus transforms suffering and death for His glory.
