How To Abide In Jesus Through Serving

What if abiding in Jesus isn't only about what He wants to do in you, but what He wants to do through you? In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal continues the How to Abide in Jesus series by exploring one of the most practical expressions of a life connected to Christ: serving others. Jesus said, "I am the vine; you are the branches." A branch doesn't produce fruit for itself. The fruit is always for somebody else. Using the simple S.E.E. framework, Pastor Ken challenges us to: S — See the Need The closer we get to Jesus, the more we begin to notice the people Jesus notices. E — Engage the Person Biblical compassion doesn't simply recognize someone's need. It moves toward them—even when it costs us time, energy, attention, convenience, or resources. E — Extend Jesus Serving isn't about showing everyone what we're doing for Jesus. It's allowing others to see what Jesus can do through a life connected to Him. We don't serve FOR God's love. We serve FROM God's love. Sometimes it's a conversation, a meal, a ride, a phone call, a text, a prayer, or simply giving someone an hour of your time. And through something ordinary, someone may catch a glimpse of an extraordinary Jesus. As you listen, consider beginning each day with this simple prayer: "Jesus, help me see who You want me to see today."
