Vision Weekend

Speaker: Pastor Lee Cummings
Date: September 25, 2021

Vision is more about “who” we are going to become than merely “what” we are going to do. We are all called together, to make a difference.

At Vision Weekend at Radiant, Pastor Lee shares wins from this season and casts vision for what’s on the horizon. Tap HERE to learn more.

Focus Scriptures

Ephesians 4:1-16 (ESV)
“As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 

7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it says:

“When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and gave gifts to his people.”

9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”

• VISION IS MORE ABOUT "WHO" WE ARE GOING TO BECOME THAN MERELY "WHAT" WE ARE GOING TO DO

• WE ARE ALL CALLED TOGETHER, TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE – UNITY AND MATURITY

• THE CHURCH, ALL OF US UNITED TOGETHER, IS GOD’S AGENCY OF CHANGE IN THE WORLD

• MAKING A DIFFERENCE BEGINS BY MAKING A DECISION

• DECISIONS ARE MADE BY WHAT WE ARE CONVINCED OF AND CONVICTED BY

• 3 DECISIONS I WANT EVERYONE TO MAKE IN ORDER TO BECOME UNITED IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE:

• I BELONG TO THE FAMILY OF GOD AND I AM CALLED TO CONNECT AND SERVE ALONGSIDE OTHERS

• I BELIEVE I AM CALLED TO BE A GIVER AND SEE MY FINANCES MAKE AN ETERNAL DIFFERENCE

• I WILL BECOME MORE SPIRITUALLY ENGAGED BY GROWING AND GOING TO PRAYER
