How long will you live? 20 years, 30 years, 100 years, then the end comes?

That when you really know the Savior, you deny yourself because of him, and then you pick up that cross,

that cross that we have to bear, and then to follow him.

I am falling.

I am falling in love. I am falling in love. Well, it's good to of Roll Rees in Diamond Bar, California.

Well, it's good to have you with us this Good Friday for the conclusion of our Easter

series celebrating Christ's life-giving love. As you join Roll in pondering the redemptive work

that Jesus accomplished on a cross, you'll get a challenge to put your faith in Christ's

sacrifice. Stay with us to see that when you genuinely and completely surrender your life to Jesus,

he calls you to follow him on a path of self-denial, faith, and obedience.

You know, it's a lot of Christians

that want to please the people.
