Vision Sunday

For 2023, we're sensing that God is calling us to renewed Unity of the Spirit. To be unified with the Spirit of God, and then with each other, it's imperative that we "drop our oars"—relinquishing our efforts and accomplishments that are made through our own strength and good works. Instead, we must rely on the power of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 33:21 says, "But there [in the city of the Lord,] the Lord in majesty will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars can go, nor majestic ship can pass." Let us throw down our oars and our efforts of man-made achievements, and instead experience the abundantly powerful current of the Lord directing us to places we could never reach in our own strength!
