Sarah Hawkins
Message Description
The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and if he can just keep us distracted, we will self-destruct. In this message, Pastor Sarah gives us biblical guidance on how to get out of the distractions of our era and run the race that God has for us - by fixing our eyes on Jesus.
Message Notes
Following Jesus in the Age of Distraction
The story of Zacchaeus:
Luke 19:1-10 (Passion Translation)
3 People in the story, each focused on something different:
1. Jesus was focused on the purpose God sent Him to accomplish.
2. The Crowd was focused on labeling Zacchaeus and judging Jesus.
3. Zacchaeus was focused on Jesus.
Our era of history has been named, “The Age of Distraction.”
Hebrews 12:1-2
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Fixing our eyes on Jesus…”
Look at Jesus – Before everything, focus on Him.
