The Missing Piece: How Connection to Christ Changes Everything | Journey Church | Pastor James W Greer


Have you ever felt like something was missing, but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it? In this powerful message, we explore the “mystery of the missing part.” Just like a puzzle with one piece removed, life doesn’t function correctly when something essential is disconnected. 

Jesus declares in John 15:5 that He is the vine and we are the branches. When we stay connected to Him, we bear fruit; when we disconnect, dysfunction follows. This sermon reveals a life-changing truth: most problems aren’t about the fruit; they are about the roots. And root problems stem from connection issues. 




Discover four key connection points that determine 85% of your happiness: 
1. Connection to Christ 
2. Connection to your physical family 
3. Connection to your spiritual family (the church) 
4. Connection to your work and calling as ministry 

When we abide in Christ, everything else begins to align—our marriages, families, purpose, joy, and peace. If you’ve been operating on “partial power,” this message will help you reconnect to the true source. 

**Key Takeaways:**
- Fruit problems are usually connection problems. 
- You can be saved but not abiding in Christ. 
- Happiness flows from right relationships, starting with Christ. 
- The church is not just an organization; it’s an organism. 
- Disconnection leads to confusion, frustration, and dysfunction. 
- When properly connected, your job becomes a ministry.

You are not competing—you are complete when connected correctly.

Blessings

Blessings: We often forget that everything in life, including life itself, is a blessing from God. As a man of faith I thank God during my daily prayer for all those blessings He has bestowed upon myself and my family. If you ever want to know just how blessed you really are? Just take a few moments to look around you. There are many people who are having a much harder time getting through their daily life than you are. Take time to pray for those people. Even though it may not seem like it to the casual observer, The Lord is taking care of them as well. We live in a world full of distractions. From cell phones to television our daily lives are filled with things that take our minds off our problems as well as God. I urge you to take the time to look around you. There is a beautiful world out there. Instead of watching another cute cat video, watch some children playing, look at a sunset or if you have the means take a walk in the woods. The miracle of God's creation is all around you and is a much more wonderful show than anything on the television or internet. Take every opportunity to disconnect from technology and grow closer to God through enjoyment of his wonders.
