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 #BibleReading 00:00 Welcome & Hope Center Update 01:00 Introducing the “This Is Us” Series 03:00 Prayer: Set a Fire in Our Hearts 04:00 Taking Responsibility for Your Connection With God 05:00 John 15 — Jesus Is the Vine 07:00 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 Jesus 15:00 Preparing for the Hard Times of Life 16:30 Make Time With God a Priority 18:00 Finding Your Personal Rhythm With God 20:00 Let God Fill You Up 22:00 Overflowing Into the Lives of Others 23:30 Learn to Feed Yourself Spiritually 25:00 Growing Into Spiritual Maturity 26:00 Tables of Eight & Growing Together 27:00 Stay Connected to Jesus 28:00 Give God 15 Minutes 30:00 The Crabgrass Illustration 31:00 You Can Reconnect With Jesus 32:00 A Decision Requires Action 33:00 The 10-Minute Challenge 34:00 Prayer & Reflection 37:00 Responding to Jesus 38:00 Salvation Prayer 39:00 Closing Worship
