Vision. Can you see it?

This past Sunday I had the honor of teaching and sharing our vision for 2011 at Life Church Franklin. There was so much to share and talk about. Of course the "big news" was important as I got to share about our move to Mountain View Intermediate School for Sunday worship experiences starting March 27th, but there was a lot more.

I think having a vision for the local church is greatly importantly. God is not a haphazard God. He has a purpose and meaning for us, our lives and our churches. We all know the church is here to glorify God and build the kingdom of God, but how do we do that? How do we reach people no one is reaching? How do we connect and grow those in our fellowship? It's called vision.

At Life Church we have a very clear and purposeful vision for who God has called us to be as a local church and also who he not called us to be. We can't and won't be the church for everyone. That's ok, but we are going to give everything we have to be the best church we can in alignment with the vision and heart God has given us.

Vision...leading people to become fully devoted followers of Christ.


Vision...to connect people in corporate worship through music and worship

Vision...to grow people in meaningful relationship with Jesus and people through Life Groups.

Vision...to serve our neighbors, church and the world

It goes on and on.
Vision. Do you see it?
