The story of Peter walking on water teaches us that focusing on Jesus enables supernatural living while focusing on circumstances leads to fear and failure.
• Peter walked on water when his eyes were fixed on Jesus
• When Peter noticed the wind and waves, he began to sink
• We need a combination of God's presence, God's people, and God's word to maintain focus
• Hebrews 12 instructs us to lay aside weights and sins that distract us
• Some distractions aren't sinful but still take our eyes off Jesus
• Sin must be eliminated, not managed: "You can either be killing sin or it will be killing you"
• Running with endurance requires looking to Jesus as the "founder and perfecter of our faith"
• Share your struggles with accountability partners who will help you stay focused
If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
