Connecting Christ

Ignite Your Relationship With Jesus

“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT

Your Future is Bright

Our mission is to build each person’s relationship with Jesus Christ. We seek to exalt the Lord, extend generosity and helping the community through team work. Our core values are to foster a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to teach the bible, to spread love, to help people achieve their goals and dreams and to improve communication and relationships.

The most important action of being a Christian is having a relationship with Jesus and the Father (God) through the Holy Spirit. First, simply ask Jesus into your life and accept him as your Savior. The name Jesus literally means Savior. We believe this will awaken the Holy Spirit within you. Next, seek God’s direction for your life. Ask him daily what he wants you to do and how you should manage your relationships. Lastly, enjoy your walk through life with Jesus and rejoice and have fun. It is truly amazing.

Jesus loves you. Our community loves you. You are a masterpiece created by the greatest artist. You are specifically and perfectly designed for God’s plans for your life. Your path through life has been strategically laid out and planned by God for your benefit and his plans for your success. You are an overcomer. You are a conqueror. Through the Holy Spirit, you have the power of Jesus. the power of resurrection and the power to bring healing, mercy and compassion upon others. We walk by faith and not by sight. We declare that our best days and our greatest triumphs are still ahead.

Connecting Christ intends to spread the word of Jesus Christ to all people.  We hope to bring churches of Jesus Christ together and create a united church.  We seek strength in community and a commitment towards each other.

Revelations From The Holy Spirit

December, 11

Let’s Unite

“Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart. And if Satan is casting out Satan, he is divided and fighting against himself. His own kingdom will not survive.”

7. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. 8. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice[b]; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge.[c] 9. The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. 10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages,[d] while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. 11 It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.

One Body with Many Parts
12. The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. 13. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.

14. Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. 15. If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything?

18. But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. 19 How strange a body would be if it had only one part! 20 Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. 21. The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”

22. In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. 23 And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen, 24 while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity. 25. This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. 26. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.

27. All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. 28 Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church:

  • first are apostles,
  • second are prophets,
  • third are teachers,
  • then those who do miracles,
  • those who have the gift of healing,
  • those who can help others,
  • those who have the gift of leadership,
  • those who speak in unknown languages.

29. Are we all apostles? Are we all prophets? Are we all teachers? Do we all have the power to do miracles? 30 Do we all have the gift of healing? Do we all have the ability to speak in unknown languages? Do we all have the ability to interpret unknown languages? Of course not! 31 So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts.

“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

“He knew their thoughts, so he said, “Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A family splintered by feuding will fall apart. You say I am empowered by Satan. But if Satan is divided and fighting against himself, how can his kingdom survive? And if I am empowered by Satan, what about your own exorcists? They cast out demons, too, so they will condemn you for what you have said. But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. For when a strong man is fully armed and guards his palace, his possessions are safe— until someone even stronger attacks and overpowers him, strips him of his weapons, and carries off his belongings. “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.”

“First, I hear that there are divisions among you when you meet as a church, and to some extent I believe it. But, of course, there must be divisions among you so that you who have God’s approval will be recognized!”
“I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. For some members of Chloe’s household have told me about your quarrels, my dear brothers and sisters. Some of you are saying, “I am a follower of Paul.” Others are saying, “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Peter,” or “I follow only Christ.” Has Christ been divided into factions? Was I, Paul, crucified for you? Were any of you baptized in the name of Paul? Of course not! I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, for now no one can say they were baptized in my name. (Oh yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I don’t remember baptizing anyone else.) For Christ didn’t send me to baptize, but to preach the Good News—and not with clever speech, for fear that the cross of Christ would lose its power.”

Adopt God’s Perspective and Enjoy His Kingdom

Our Principles

  • “While we love Sundays, we don’t believe in worshiping on Sundays only but everyday.  We study everyday, we preach everyday and we love Jesus and others everyday. 

  • We believe giving to the poor is greater than giving to Church.  We want you to be the “light” by helping others and having a caring heart.  The scripture looks at our heart and our intentions and we seek to influence others to have a great heart and great intentions for others.  

  • We don’t and we won’t request money as a Church.  Jesus never asked for money to complete his mission and taught to give your money to those in need and to help those in need.  

  • We believe in letting the Bible and Jesus do the teaching and then we rellect upon what is taught.  Too many churches and Pastors want to filter the Bible through their own words or experiences.  We simply do not do that.  We read the word and then analyze it and reflect upon it.  It is very simple, yet the word is very complex.  

  • We have goals to feed all of the world, to improve technology and medicine worldwide and to make a great impact.  We want to help people far and wide and to do many miracles and we want you to have the same goals as we do.  None of our goals are in our own name but in Jesus’ name.  

  • We love.  We love you, we love Jesus, we love the Father, we love preaching, we love music and we love all of God’s creation.  

  • We celebrate!  We celebrate the good times, the bad times, our victories, our attempts at victory, God’s love for us, God’s masterful creations, each other and more.  We want to find a reason to celebrate everyday and to add joy to our lives.  

  • We believe the Bible was written by the Holy Spirit and that it is Gods words.  We don’t dispute the Bible and do our best to understand it, learn from it and improve.  

  • We will not judge you.  We don’t expect you to be a “Good Christian”, to follow certain behaviors, to follow our advice, to adopt our philosophy or anything like that.  God will lead you.  Jesus will judge you.  We will leave those actions to the heavenly Father.  We are here to love and support you and to connect you with the Father.  We don’t kick people out of our church, we don’t dissociate with contrary thoughts or opinions but our beliefs and philosophy are very strongly held and we will not change our beliefs or relationship with the Father.  

  • We seek to improve every day.  We seek to be better as a church.  We seek to make history.  We want to have Church on a luxury yacht.  We want to have church in mystical places, yet we acknowledge that we do not need anything, not even a Bible to speak to the Father. 

  •  We believe that each person can improve their relationship with Jesus.  Whether you have studied scripture all of your life or never even heard of Jesus, we all have the ability to learn, improve and develop our relationship with Jesus and the Father.  Each time we record video or audio, we are reading the scripture, discussing it and learning about Jesus and the Father and improving our relationship with him.

For I was hungry, and you fed me. Jesus is the bread of life. "Whoever comes to me will never be hungry. We seek to feed the hungry as we learn in the Bible Matthew 25:35 that this brings us close to God and shares his perspective on what we should be doing. We also know that Jesus represents the manna that came from heaven to feed Gods children." John 6:49

Feed The Hungry

Help The Hurting

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 "All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us."
May we help those who are hurting to get through tough times while the result of doing so will expand the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Help The Hurting

Provide For The Thirsty

Matthew 25:35 "I was thirsty , and you gave me a drink." John 6:35" Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty " We seek to provide drinks for those that are thirsty . Jesus is living water and once you drink from his water, you will never thirst again. We seek to provide drinks for the thirsty  as we learn in the Bible Matthew 25:35 that this brings us close to God and shares his perspective on what we should be doing.

Provide For The Thirsty

Scriptures That We Love

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’ “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.”

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”

“And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.”

“But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you. You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.”

“When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, searching for rest. But when it finds none, it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds that its former home is all swept and in order. Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before.”

“As he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, “God bless your mother—the womb from which you came, and the breasts that nursed you!” Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.”

3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body

Paul wrote “And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.”
