Focus
 

Is there anything that we can count on with
certainty?
 

Crucial Focus in Life:

1.  Our hope is in God.

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what 
is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is
unseen is eternal.”                             2 Corinthians 4:18

Psalm 121  

“In all their distress he too was distressed.”     
                                                                           Isaiah 63:9
 

2.  We need community.
      The church is a community.  

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has
conceived what God has prepared for those who love
him...”                                                     1 Corinthians 2:9

“Once you were not a people, but now you are the
people of God; once you had not received mercy, 
but now you have received mercy.”          1 Peter 2:10
