Distractions Part 3
Sunday :: Worship / Fellowship
Sunday, November 11th
Our current sermon series is called Distractions. Life is full of Distractions that can throw us off course. This has always been the case, but Distractions seem to be growing both in number and in their power to steal our focus and throw us off track. This is certainly true when it comes to following God in the everydayness of life. Focus takes time, attention, discipline, and perseverance. God’s Word can help us understand what kinds of Distractions steal our attention. God’s Word also helps us shift our attention back to the things that matter most.
Key Verse
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33

The amazing journey of a simple shoebox gift begins with you and results in evangelism, discipleship and multiplication.
