Connect My Life With God

What does it actually look like to follow Jesus every day?In this message from Compassion Church Danville, Pastor Jeff begins the This Is Us series by focusing on one of the most important foundations of following Jesus: staying connected to God.Jesus said in John 15, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” A branch can't produce fruit when it's disconnected from the vine. In the same way, we can't live the life God has called us to live apart from Him.This message challenges us to take daily responsibility for our personal connection with God through three simple practices:1. Make time with God a priority.2. Learn to feed yourself spiritually.3. Stay connected to Jesus.You'll also hear a practical 10-minute challenge: spend 10 minutes reading Scripture, 10 minutes praying, and then ask Jesus, “What do You want me to know and do today?”You don't have to have a perfect routine. You simply have to begin.Start walking with Jesus. Stay connected to the Vine. Let God fill you so His presence can overflow into your family, workplace, church, and community.📖 Scripture: John 15:1–11; Mark 1:35; Hebrews 5:12–14📍 Compassion Church Danville#ThisIsUs #CompassionChurch #DanvilleVA #John15 #ChristianDiscipleship #Prayer #BibleReading00:00 Welcome & Hope Center Update01:00 Introducing the “This Is Us” Series03:00 Prayer: Set a Fire in Our Hearts04:00 Taking Responsibility for Your Connection With God05:00 John 15 — Jesus Is the Vine07:00 What Does It Mean to Abide?10:00 How Much Are You Leaving on the Table?11:00 A Picture of a Life Connected to Jesus15:00 Preparing for the Hard Times of Life16:30 Make Time With God a Priority18:00 Finding Your Personal Rhythm With God20:00 Let God Fill You Up22:00 Overflowing Into the Lives of Others23:30 Learn to Feed Yourself Spiritually25:00 Growing Into Spiritual Maturity26:00 Tables of Eight & Growing Together27:00 Stay Connected to Jesus28:00 Give God 15 Minutes30:00 The Crabgrass Illustration31:00 You Can Reconnect With Jesus32:00 A Decision Requires Action33:00 The 10-Minute Challenge34:00 Prayer & Reflection37:00 Responding to Jesus38:00 Salvation Prayer39:00 Closing Worship
