Position• Are you seeking Jesus first? • Is he the point man in your life or are you taking on that position? • If there has never been a time in your life where it’s made sense like this, you need to take the next step and put Jesus first in your life.
Relationship•Do you have a relationship with Christ? • This starts with putting God first – but a relationship continues on beyond the decision… it is ongoing. •Do you recognize that Jesus is your source? Jesus is the vine and we are the branches

In closing…
•Who is first in your life?•What do you worry about?•Do you recognize that having a relationship with Jesus starts with him being first, but continues as we are the branch and he is the vine?
