Death is the one enemy no human being can defeat. Money cannot bribe it. Medicine cannot prevent it. Strength cannot overpower it. Death will always get the final word.  The Bible declares it in Hebrews 9:27, "It is appointed unto men once to die".

We often talk about faith—but how many of us know what great faith really looks like?

The Bible records many miracles, many healings, many crowds following Jesus—but only a few times does Scripture say that Jesus marvelled. And when He did, it was not at a miracle, not at a sermon, not at a sacrifice—but at faith.

“For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children…” Ps. 78:5-8

Proverbs 18:21 – “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…”

Joshua 24:15 (KJV)

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

There comes a moment in every believer’s journey where we must recognize that salvation is not just believing in Christ—it is learning to live through Christ. Paul makes a powerful declaration in Galatians 2:20. He announces that his old life ended, and a new life began. Not a life powered by personal willpower or fleshly decisions, but a life governed and sustained by Christ Himself.

Do you have it in you to be a leader?  Do you even desire to be a leader?  If you do, Paul says it's a good thing.  So lets review what it means to become a leader to be desired.

Life as a believer is not a playground—it’s a battlefield. When we accept Christ, we also accept the call to spiritual warfare. The passage in Exodus 17:8–13 gives us a vivid picture of the power of unity, position, and obedience in the midst of battle. Every person in the story had a role, and victory depended on each one knowing and operating in their position.

Mark 15:17 "And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head"
