Title: Keeping our eyes on Jesus
Speaker: Pastor Phil Haddad
Date: 1st February 2026
Location: Adelaide, Australia

In this episode, the message centres on keeping our eyes on Jesus in a world full of noise, pressure, and distraction. It reflects on how easily life can pull our focus away through busyness, fear, hardship, or uncertainty, and reminds us that the Lord always calls us back to himself. Rather than trying to solve everything alone, the encouragement is to look to Jesus for wisdom, direction, and peace.  

Drawing from Hebrews, Isaiah, the Gospels, and the letters of Paul, this episode shows that Jesus is both the example and the answer. Just as he endured the cross with purpose, God’s people are called to stay fixed on him through every circumstance. The message also highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in helping us truly know Jesus, understand spiritual things, and keep moving forward with faith even when the way ahead feels narrow or unclear.  

Key points / takeaways
Distraction does not always come through obvious sin; it can also come through busyness, pressure, and gradually drifting from the things of God.  
Jesus is the author and finisher of faith, and his example teaches how to stay steady when life feels loud, uncertain, or painful.  
The Holy Spirit enables people to truly know Jesus, understand spiritual truth, and find hope, direction, and strength in every season.
