6- FOCUS ON JESUS, NOT THE WORLD

Psalm 36:9

"For with Thee is the fountain of life: in Thy light shall we see light."

Seven Ways to Reduce Failures:

1- PUT GOD FIRST

Prioritize God in all decisions.

2- PRAY DAILY

Maintain consistent communication with God.

3- WALK BY FAITH, NOT SIGHT

Trust God’s promises over visible circumstances.

4- READ THE BIBLE DAILY

Make Scripture a habit for spiritual growth and obedience.

5- TRUST IN THE LORD COMPLETELY

Proverbs 3:5 calls us to trust God’s perfect wisdom over human understanding.

6- FOCUS ON JESUS, NOT THE WORLD

Worship Jesus, the source of all creation, as revealed in John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John presents Jesus’ divine majesty, showing Him as God and the revealer of the unseen God, part of the Holy Trinity that created everything. Always prioritize God over His creation.

Romans 11:36

"For from Him, through Him, and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen."

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...
