KEEPING "FOCUS"
This past Sunday was a good one on a few fronts. It was one of those Sundays were as I was going back to my room after the 14 hour day, you give a "fist pump" in satisfaction because some good things were done!
During the Pasadena service I have been trying to get better connected with this one guy so in-turn I can introduce him to some other in the Mosaic community. Without going into a whole lot detail, the process is working! It is a definate blessing and step in the right direction.
At the Mayan 5 p.m. service there was this guy who was just standing around by himself so being the extrovert that I am, I went over to start a conversation. After about 15 minutes, I found out it was his first and he was new to the area. Got him connected with a few other people in his age range. Good Things!
Finally, right after the 7 p.m. service at the Mayan I got introduced to another first-timer who hadn't been to church in 10 years. After some conversation I got him pointed in the right direction with the right people and he will be back. Awesome stuff!

The message for the fourth installment of the Sportscenter series revolved around "Focus" and being tuned-in with the life God has for you.
Erwin walked through the following passages:
Proverbs 4:20-27
II Chor. 10:3-4
Isaiah 26:3-4
Here are a few thoughts for the message --
"Decide who you want to become in Christ and focus. You have very little control of what is around you. There has to be an intentional life course."
Your brain is going to wonder and imagine but don't let it be the "decrease" of your life but let God take your mind captive
Finally, Erwin gave this really interesting example between the internet and focus. He encouraged us to look at the history of the websites we have visited and said, "Our internet give you your inner-self."
