Sorry for the radio silence. Sometimes it's telling how much of a fight it takes to upload these sermons and studies. We hope that you enjoy!

Editors note: I really needed this after my mind keeping me up that Sunday morning till 4 am. During this message I was reminded about my glasses. I need glasses for distance. Up close I'm fine, but I'm blurry with any distance without them. I shared with a friend that I wish loosing focus on God was as quickly noticeable and disliked as much as when I leve my physical glasses somewhere. Everything is out of focus and the strain sets in. I try hard not to leave my physical glasses, and I'm learning to guard my focus now too. 

When you try to focus on God and obey Him, then the enemy will try to distract you, sometimes directly through others or situations directly or indirectly. Remember, stay focused,  quit leaving your glasses and focusing on the distractions. We have work to do. God is not done yet!

Jodie and his family were originally missionaries who were in Russia,  but while on ferlo they were informed that they couldn't return to Russia.  Amazingly,  God made a way through media. Even though they are here, they can help the churches in Russia and those interested in the Bible and in God.

They also started a ministry here state-side for Biblical Counciling for Pastor's,  Ministry Leaders,  and Missionaries, called Heartway Ministries. 

Bro. Jodie also shares a devotional to encourage us that whatever comes in our life as a child of God, that it's purpose is to make us more like His Son and to open up opportunities to minister to others.

Our Father has a great love for us, even when we mess up!
