Have you ever struggled with prayerlessness? Do you wish you could pray more, pray better, and pray bigger prayers? In this message from our Lifeline: Connecting to God Through Prayer series, we dive into John 15:1-5 to discover that prayer is not just something we do—it’s our very identity as Jesus-followers.

🔹 Key Takeaways from this Sermon:

✔️ Prayerlessness is an identity issue. When we struggle in prayer, it’s often because we’ve forgotten who we are—we are branches, not the vine. Our job is to remain connected to Jesus.

✔️ Prayer is our lifeline. It’s how we abide in Christ, draw our strength from Him, and bear fruit in our lives.

✔️ Prayer is not about doing more, but about being with Jesus. It’s not a religious obligation; it’s about a relationship.

✔️ Big prayers come from abiding in Christ. When we remain in Him, our prayers grow in boldness, depth, and expectancy.

✔️ Seasons of struggle in prayer are normal. Instead of shame, they should serve as a signal—an opportunity to reconnect with the Vine.

📖 Key Scripture: John 15:1-5

🛠 Application Challenge: When you notice prayerlessness creeping in, let it remind you to check your connection to Jesus. Spend time with Him, listen, talk, and simply be a branch.

🔔 Let’s become a church that is not just filled with people who pray, but people who are prayers—where prayer is who we are, not just what we do.
