Last Sunday, July 19, our staff rolled out a new vision which we believe God has given us for the days ahead at Grace Fellowship. Next Sunday when you arrive, you will see a huge banner on the south wall of the Worship Center, proclaiming the vision’s theme– BECOMING An Intentional Community of Christ’s Followers. The theme verse of scripture is Philippians 3:12 (LB) — “I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be.” In the coming months, we will be be challenged to become a people of vision, a people of prayer, a people of compassion, and a people of stewardship. In the coming weeks, I will be explaining these great themes in the Sunday morning worship lessons. Today, I offered the assertion that we cannot be a people of vision unless we are also a people of faith. “We walk by faith and not by sight,” Paul proclaims in 2 Corinthians 5:7. As Jesus said to Thomas, “Blessed is he who has not seen, and yet has believed.”
I hope that as I share this very important series of messages, you will jump in on this blog to interact with what is proclaimed. You will enrich this preacher if you will offer that very important input. This Sunday, I will be talking about the benefits of “BECOMING” a people of vision. I hope you will be there to hear, and then to react on this blog. Have a blessed week!
