At a church service on Sunday, former President Jimmy Carter reflected on dying and expressed his thoughts on what would truly make American great.

"I, of course, thought I was going to die," said Carter, referring to his cancer diagnosis in 2015, during a Sunday school service at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia.

Carter's Sunday message was about belief in resurrection and life after death as a Christian. He recounted his cancer diagnosis after making a trip to monitor elections in Guyana. He said doctors had removed part of his liver and then later found cancer in his brain.

"I prayed about it and was at peace with it," he said at the service.

Carter also briefly discussed politics during the service. He said he wished the U.S. could be a superpower in world peace and asked "Wouldn't it be good if the U.S. could be a super power for the environment or for equal rights?"

He made the congregation a promise to reach out to help someone who needs it. He said doing so would make America a better country and told church members it would make "you a better Christian."
