Your Vision

Had a great word from Patty Duckworth, our Assoc. Exec. Area Minister, yesterday from the book of Acts. She shared on the conversion of Paul and spoke on the idea of personal vision and God's vision. Great reminder that if we don't get our own vision in our lives figured out, we'll never be able to see beyond ourselves for what God is up to in our church!

So, how's the personal vision coming? I hope all that were there listened to all she had to say about this very important step in our lives. Paul's vision before his conversion was drastically different from what God's vision for his life looked like. He couldn't see it, so God intervened. My prayer for us is that no one will have to encounter God in that way. I would pray that we would be willing enough to surrender our own agendas in pursuit of a greater life than the one we came up with.

Please let me or any of the staff know if we can help you discover what a personal vision looks like. It's obviously going to be different for each person, but if we can help you flush out ideas, concepts about the vision, we would be happy to help.

As we look ahead:
  • We are beginning a 3 week series on vision for the church called "Windows". Taking time to look at where we are, as a church, with the vision that is in place and what we need to do to continue to grow that vision into what God wants it to be. CANNOT WAIT!!!\
  • Following this series, we will begin ONE Prayer which will take place each week in June. We will be joining over 800 churches worldwide in engaging in a time of unified prayer, teaching, service and giving. We will be featuring messages from some of today's top speakers in our services. This is going to be an incredible time of learning, growing, sharing and serving not only the local church, but the larger global church as well. Keep you eyes open for more information.

LOVE what God is doing in us during this transition time. Are you seeing Him? Are you JOINING Him? BE the body of Christ with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
Hang on for an AWESOME ride!
