================= SHOW NOTES =================
[00:00] Main Ideas: [01:16] Our focus determines our direction. [02:02] The Kingdom of God was the central focus of Jesus’ life. [04:55] If we want to experience the life Jesus offers we have to change our focus. [05:33] Life becomes blurry when our focus is on ourselves. [06:31] Constant self-focus leads to oblivious self-deception. [08:34] Focusing on the Kingdom of God brings clarity to our lives. [09:26] When we fully focus on God’s kingdom, we learn to fully trust him. [11:31] What we do with our money reveals and directs our focus. [14:28] A clear focus reveals our place in the world.
Invitation: Ask: What kingdom am I focusing on? Change your focus through deliberate practice.
Discussion Questions: 1. What do you think are some common “distractions” that keep people from being able to focus on what truly matters?
2. Jon said, “Our focus determines our direction.” Can you think of any examples from your life where you’ve seen this play out?
