The secret to defeating distraction and staying on mission

We are all living on mission. Sometimes our missions are big and important & sometimes they are small and insignificant.

DISTRACTIONS are the greatest enemy of accomplishing a mission.

Jesus mission was POINTING PEOPLE TO GOD.

“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you...“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. (John 17:1,6)

Jesus accomplished his mission by:

RELIEVING PAIN & REVEALING TRUTH.

The disciples and the crowd misunderstood Jesus' mission and desired him to stay and become their Messiah. They offered him:

• popularity
• comfort
• wealth
• power

Jesus dealt with these distractions by sneaking away to pray.
