Rediscovering Your Focus Possible abilities: Song leader Bible Class Teacher Encourager (phone calls, sending cards, etc.) Working with the young people, senior citizens, etc. Congregational leaders (elders and deacons)

Rediscovering Your Focus Why is your focus important? People at Ephesus had a change of focus. The apostle Paul had a change of focus. (Acts 8:3; 9:20) Christians become people of a different focus. See Matthew 6:33; Romans 6:1-13; Philippians 2:5

Rediscovering Your Focus What should not be the focus? Programs should not be the focus. Events should not be the focus. Finances should not be the focus. The building should not drive the church.

Rediscovering Your Focus What should not be the focus? People should not determine the focus. Proverbs 19:21 The master’s work should be our focus. Luke 19:10

Rediscovering Your Focus The Importance of a Godly Focus: Why have a Godly focus? Isaiah 55:8,9 Proverbs 16:9 Proverbs 3:5,6

Rediscovering Your Focus Where does God want your focus? God wants our focus on the eternal, not the temporal. (2 Corinthians 4:17-18) The seen vs. the unseen

Rediscovering Your Focus The will of God was the desire of Christ: “…for I always do those things that please him.” (John 8:28-29)

Rediscovering Your Focus Remember your top three abilities: ____________________________________ Do your top three abilities help accomplish the purpose of the Father?
