GETTING CLOSER TO GOD
With God’s help I will be devoted in all that I do!
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matt 6:33
I will seek first—The One who matters most.
I am devoted to Jesus
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching & to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. Acts 2:42-43
They devoted themselves to themselves. They continually and passionately pursued a self-centered life of comfort and ease. MCV (“Modern” Christian Version)
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5
4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. John 15:4
BE THE BRANCH!

I am devoted to Jesus
