Choosing Jesus: Fixing Focus to Pursue Jesus
In this powerful message, we're called to 'fix our focus' on Jesus as we run the race of faith. Drawing from Hebrews 12:2-3, we're reminded that the Christian life isn't a sprint, but a marathon requiring endurance and unwavering focus. The key to this focus? Looking away from distractions and towards Christ. We're challenged to examine what captures our attention and to deliberately turn our gaze to things that are true, honorable, and praiseworthy, as outlined in Philippians 4:8. By following Jesus' example of prayer, fasting, and communion with the Father, we can find the strength to persevere through life's challenges. This message encourages us to find joy in God's work, expect answers to prayer, and hold onto the hope of resurrection. It's a call to run our race with purpose, knowing that unbroken fellowship with God awaits us at the finish line.
