If I Got Jesus

In a world that often equates fulfillment with external success and material wealth, this message serves as a poignant reminder of the simplicity of true joy found in childhood pleasures. As adults, we tend to complicate our pursuit of happiness, mistakenly believing it lies in the next promotion, the latest gadget, or the perfect relationship. However, this narrative is challenged by the enduring truth that genuine fulfillment is not found in the temporal, but in the eternal—Jesus Christ. He is depicted as the true vine, with His followers as branches, illustrating our need to remain connected to Him to bear the fruit of the Spirit. This fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—is the hallmark of a life ‘in Christ’ and the essence of true fulfillment. The sermon concludes with a practical challenge to reflect on our sources of joy and to intentionally deepen our relationship with Jesus, the source of lasting peace and fulfillment.
