Connecting More

Matthew 26:36-38

 

Sometimes God “sits us down” in order to “lift us up”

 

Connection Matters:

• Ecclesiastes 4:9a, “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other…”

• Galatians 6:2, “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.”

• James 5:16, “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.”

 

Intentional Connection

• Live on Purpose

  • Jesus purposefully invites Peter, James and John to be with Him.  

• Live with Purpose

  • Jesus purposefully prepares Peter, James and John for their own dark nights.

• Live for a Purpose

  • Jesus connected then, so that we might connect now.
