DENNIS
Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. Jesus once said, “Apart from me, you can do nothing, and those who dwell in me, I also dwell in them. They will bear much fruit.”
Did you know prayer is all about dwelling in Jesus? It’s true. Life becomes unbearable with so many burdens whenever we lose touch with our Savior. Even Christians can lose touch with Jesus, as we try to solve the world’s problems of hunger, injustice, violence, war, and loneliness on our own. If our concerns are not flowing from a personal encounter with Jesus, then these issues become an oppressive weight. Not only that, but personal problems can escalate quickly as depression tries to rob us of hope.
This happens when we are not dwelling with our living Savior. Jesus does not want us to isolate ourselves in a corner somewhere. He wants us to walk in faith by taking time to dwell with him. Let Jesus direct your steps and give you hope that is bigger than any problem in the world. Come and be a part of our community of faith at Central United Methodist where we lean on Jesus through prayer. God bless.
