You can't call yourself a follower of Jesus if you aren't even ____________________ at Him!
[Matthew 14:28-31] Then Peter called to him, "Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water." [29] "Yes, come," Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. [30] But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. "Save me, Lord!" he shouted. [31] Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. "You have so little faith," Jesus said. "Why did you doubt me?"
Focus on the ____________________ and not the ____________________.
Your eyes can only ____________________ on one thing at a time.
We begin to ____________________ we we take our eyes off of Jesus.
Don't _______________ when the _______________ come.
[Hebrews 12:1-2] Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. [2] We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne.
Stop ____________________ on the things that drag you down and focus on the _____________ who can pull you up.
____________________ happen to those whose eyes are on Jesus.
[Philippians 3:14] I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
All who look to Jesus will be ____________________!
[John 16:33] I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."
