Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.
THANK. Write down 3-5 things you’re thankful for from the last 24 hours.
Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
PRAY. What is stressful or challenging as you look ahead at this day? Write it down and talk w/ God about it.
READ. Our Scripture Focus is Matthew 9:35-36. Try memorizing it during this study!
Today’s reading is from Matthew 24
THINK. A Thought from Holly MacDonald…
Jesus spoke to His disciples about when He would return. Jesus wanted His disciples to be less concerned about when and more concerned with being prepared for it. God’s heart is for YOU! He doesn’t want you to be caught off guard, He wants you ready! So how do we prepare? We wouldn’t expect to successfully run a marathon without proper training. We would need to practice running, disciplining our bodies to be able to run 26.2 miles. It’s a life altering commitment! In a similar way, we need to prepare our bodies, hearts, and minds for Christ’s return. We keep our eyes focused on the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and make Him our number one priority in life. We pursue relationship with God, pray to Him, read His Word, and seek Him with all of our heart. God’s so gracious to warn us so that we aren’t caught off guard. How can you prepare for His return as if it’s happening today?
ASK. Throughout this study, we’ll be practicing Discovery Bible Study (DBS) together. After each day’s reading, ask the following questions and write down your thoughts.
What is the main point of this passage?
What does it teach you about God (Jesus)?
What does it show you about people, or yourself?
What can you apply (practice) from this passage today?
Who can you share this with today?
How did you do practicing and sharing what you learned yesterday?
PRAY (AGAIN). Pray for a family member, a lifegroup/church friend, someone who came to mind, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations. Pick one each day or pray through them all every day.
TALK. That was our take on today’s reading - what’s yours? Share thoughts and ask questions in the forum.
SHARE. Stay focused with a friend! Invite them to text “FOCUS” to (586) 200-6277.

Stay focused on Jesus today, and make it a great one!
