Dry-Off Debrief

Say: Deep-sea divers can get confused when they’re in deep water because it can be difficult to tell which way is up toward the surface. The bubbles from their oxygen tank may seem to be going sideways, but the bubbles can give the right direction. Bubbles generally rise to the surface. So when divers keep their eyes on the bubbles, they usually end up going the right way! That reminds me of a verse from Hebrews 12:2.

Read aloud Hebrews 12:2.

Ask:

• What things can distract you from keeping your eyes on Jesus?
• How can we know what Jesus wants us to do?
• Why is it important to keep our eyes on Jesus?
• What are some practical ways you can keep your eyes on Jesus this week?
