What is truly at the center of your life?

In this powerful message, Sam McKern challenges us to examine our focus in a culture obsessed with self. Drawing from Ephesians 1:20-23(MSG) and 1 John 2:15-17(NIV), he reminds us that the world is not the center of God’s plan—Jesus is.

If we’re not careful, we begin chasing a counterfeit version of life: one that looks fulfilling but leaves us empty. A self-focused life pulls us away from our need for God and drains our faith. But when we make Jesus the center of it all, everything changes.

🔥 In this message:

Discover what it means to stop chasing counterfeit culture
Learn how focus fuels direction
Be encouraged to live with authentic purpose, faith, and love
📖 Key Scriptures:
Ephesians 1:20–23 (MSG)
1 John 2:15–17 (NIV)
2 Corinthians 5:14–15 (NIV)
Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)



🙌 Join us as we fix our eyes on the One who holds the universe together. Jesus isn’t peripheral to your life—He is your life.
