Imagine a Church

Vision Sunday

Ephesians 3:20-21

“Where there is no vision, the people perish”

- Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

Vision declaration: Imagine a church in which every man woman and child is fully honored and celebrated as created in the very image of God and is uniquely gifted for eternal kingdom redemption by fulfilling God’s unique calling in their lives. 

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…” - Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV)

 Central Truth: God-sized vision is birthed in the BIGNESS of God!

Keys to healthy, God-sized Vision:

(1) It’s all about HIM

            v20, “Now all glory to God…” 

(2) It’s beyond US

            Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or   imagine…

            Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV), “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in   my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”

Make it Simple:

God is SO BIG that every man, woman, and child MATTERS to Him.

(3) It’s His Work; in US

         v20, Now all glory to God, who is able through his might power at work within us.

Final Thought: God’s BIG vision for us begins in God’s GREAT LOVE for every MAN, WOMAN, and CHILD.
