Episode Details

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
