Don’t Lose Your Focus | Elder Gregory Buffaloe | The Temple of Praise

Main message: Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus — storms and fears don’t sink you, losing your focus does; when you cry out, Jesus rescues and restores you.

Key points:

• Uses Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:22–33) to show that faith enables the impossible while focused on Jesus.
• Peter began to sink when he shifted attention to the wind and waves — fear replaced faith.
• When Peter cried out, Jesus immediately reached out and saved him; God rescues rather than rebukes while we struggle.
• The preacher applied this to everyday trials (bills, health, relationships) and urged practical perseverance: don’t fixate on problems but on God’s power.
• Even after failure (Peter’s denial), Jesus restores (references to Luke 22:54, 62 and John 21:15–19); the preacher also shared a brief testimony about choosing to refocus on the Lord amid physical pain.

Scriptures mentioned: Matthew 14:22–33, Luke 22:54, Luke 22:62, John 21:15–19
