Vision 2026: Stepping In

We've all been there—thinking "I really should pray more" or "I'd love to serve somewhere"—but somehow never quite getting around to it. Pastor Jo gets real about the gap between our good intentions and actually doing something about them, and spoiler alert: you're not alone in this struggle! In this third week of the Vision series, Jo unpacks what it truly means to be part of the church (hint: it's not about the building). Using powerful imagery from Matthew 16 and 1 Corinthians 12, he paints a picture of the church as a body where every single person—yes, even you—has an essential role to play. The message explores five practical areas where we can move from intention to action: connecting with others, serving in ministry, engaging in church life, giving generously, and growing deeper in faith. Joe reminds us that we're not just bricks in a building or random body parts floating around—we're carefully placed by God himself, each one valuable and necessary.
