Hebrews 12:1–2 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Matthew 6:22–23 22
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Colossians 3:1–2

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Honest Questions
• What has your attention right now?
• What fills your thoughts?
• What shapes your emotions?
• What dominates your energy?
Three Responses
1. Salvation
Some of you need to shift your focus for the first time— from self to Christ.
2. Recommitment
You love Jesus—but distraction has crept in. Today is a refocusing moment.
3. Formation
You want to intentionally shape your life by fixing your eyes on Christ again.
Father, We confess that our attention is often divided. We have fixed our eyes on many things—and wondered why we feel scattered.
Today we choose again. We set our minds. We fix our eyes. Form us by what is eternal. Shape us by what is true. And lead us into a focused life that honors You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
