Vision 2026: Further In, Further On - Jo Leutton

In this message, we're reminded of our vision as a church family and explore what it means to grow deeper and serve together in 2026. Using vivid imagery from Scripture, trees planted by streams, eagles soaring on thermals, roads leading somewhere, and who is in the boat with us, we're reminded that our strength comes not from our own efforts but from being firmly rooted in God's presence. The message unpacks how Riverlife Baptist Church is seeing God move: in our life groups, people meeting Jesus through Alpha, youth camp baptisms, community outreach, and partnerships across the globe. But it's not about filling seats, it's about sending people. As we celebrate 60 years as a church, we're being called to multiply outward, to walk roads where God's presence isn't yet known, and to remember that Jesus is always with us in the boat. Whether you're planting trees for the first time today, or you've been growing for decades, this is an invitation to trust God's plans over our own, to remember what He's already done, and to step forward in faith. Because when we bring our 'one loaf', our small offering, God can do miracles. **Bible Verses mentioned:** Isaiah 40:28-31, Psalm 1, Matthew 16:13-19, Mark 8:13-21, Ephesians 3:20 CONNECT WITH RIVERLIFE CHURCH HERE ATInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/riverlifebaptistchurchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiverlifeBaptistChurchWebsite: https://riverlifechurch.org.au
