Refocus | Week 1 | Sunday, August 2nd 2026 | Pastor Chris Sarno

What does it mean to truly fix our gaze on what matters most? This message takes us on a journey into the discipline of refocusing, reminding us that life is constantly competing for our attention. Drawing from the dramatic account in Matthew 14, where Peter steps out of a storm-tossed boat and walks on water toward Jesus, we are confronted with a powerful truth: the storm was already raging before Peter ever got out of the boat. It was not the storm that caused him to sink. It was the moment he shifted his eyes away from Jesus and toward the chaos surrounding him. That shift in focus changed everything. This is not just a story about a disciple on the water. It is a mirror held up to our own lives, showing us how often we allow the noise of disappointment, pressure, fear, and routine to slowly erode the clarity of our spiritual vision. The message challenges us to ask honest questions: What has quietly stolen our attention? What are we still carrying that God never asked us to pick up? And are we running on yesterday's revelation rather than staying sensitive to what God is saying right now? Refocusing is not a sign of failure. It is an act of wisdom, a deliberate turning of our gaze back to what is eternal and true. Welcome to Relevant Church Live, the online campus of Relevant Church located in Daytona Beach, Florida.
