Vision: Express Yourself – Part 1B

Vision: Express Yourself – Part 1 THE TWO QUESTIONS THE CRITICAL MIND SHIFT: Church = Believers as the Body Of Christ, [1 Cor. 12:27]. Ex. 19:5-6/1 Peter 2:9 Past Believers Make Up the Cloud of Witness, [Heb. 12:1-2]. Current Believers Are Being Developed by Christ, [Matt. 16:18]. Key: Be Intentional and Call Yourself the Church. I Am the Church! THE 1ST VISION QUESTION: WHO ARE YOU, LORD? The Believers’ 1ST Priority Is Their Relationship with Jesus, [Acts 9:5]. Faith, Prayer, Worship, Scripture, Meditation, Fasting Cultivates This Relationship. This Relationship Prepares, Directs, And Sustains One in Their Vocation. Now This Relationship Enables/Realizes Eternal Purpose, [Rom. 8:28]. Not Yet Key: The 1ST Question Is Relational. THE 2ND VISION QUESTION: WHAT WILL YOU HAVE ME TO DO? Vocation Flows Out of Relationship = Knowing Leads to Doing, [Acts 9:6]. Vocation Unveils Temporal Calling, Gifting, And Purpose, [1 Cor. 7:20]. Vocation Unveils Our Earthly Dominion as Salt & Light, [Gen. 1:28; Matt. 5:13-16]. Key: The 2ND Question is Vocational. Conclusion: Vision is Best Cast When These Three Things Are Understood. Prayer: Holy Spirit, Draw Me Closer To Jesus Christ, My Lord.
