How Jesus Stayed Focused on His Mission

Episode Summary. Jesus had to wrestle with all the incessant demands that cried out for his energy and attention, just as we have to in the 21st century—but he stayed focused on his mission. This episode examines HOW he did that!

For Further Prayerful Thought: 

1. Do you agree that one thing dumber than not having a game plan for the Super Bowls might be HAVING a game plan but NEVER LOOKING AT IT DURING THE GAME? How is this analogy for our efforts to implement Christ’s agenda in each sphere of our lives a fair analogy or unfair one.
2. Why might Christians be impoverished by either ignoring the fourth commandment or by becoming legalistic about it? How would you present the fourth commandment as a blessing?
3. How would you answer the argument, “I can’t imagine taking an hour just to sit and talk with Jesus each week when what I really need is more time spent with my wife and children?”
