FOCUS ON GOALS

Focus – Part 2

Colossians 3:2 - Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

 

FOCUS BRINGS CHANGE

 

1. Focus Changes Your Feelings

Ephesians 4:26 - When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down.

Philippians 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. [7] And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

 

2. Focus Improves Your Outcomes

Philippians 3:13 - Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached that goal, but there is one thing I always do. Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, [14] I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above. 

 

3. Focus Brings People Together

Colossians 3:14 - And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

 

4. Focus Builds Faith

Romans 10:17 - So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
