⁵ I replied, “If it please the king, and if you are pleased with me, your servant, send me to Judah to rebuild the city where my ancestors are buried.” (Nehemiah 2:5)

Vision gives us direction

¹⁶ The city officials did not know I had been out there or what I was doing, for I had not yet said anything to anyone about my plans. I had not yet spoken to the Jewish leaders—the priests, the nobles, the officials, or anyone else in the administration. ¹⁷ But now I said to them, “You know very well what trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire. Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and end this disgrace!” ¹⁸ Then I told them about how the gracious hand of God had been on me, and about my conversation with the king. They replied at once, “Yes, let’s rebuild the wall!” So they began the good work. (Nehemiah 2:16-18)

Vision builds unity.

¹⁴ Then as I looked over the situation, I called together the nobles and the rest of the people and said to them, “Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!” (Nehemiah 4:14)

Vision produces passion.

But I realized they were plotting to harm me, ³ so I replied by sending this message to them: “I am engaged in a great work, so I can’t come down.” (Nehemiah 6:2-3)

Vision elevates discipline.

How will you apply the 10K Life personally?

VISION SUNDAY

Welcome to Vision Sunday! 2023 was quite a year! And 2024 is off to a great start! God is moving! And we’ve summarized those celebrations and information in our 2023 annual report available.

WORSHIP NIGHT

Today night we’re going to celebrate all that God’s done in 2023 and our prayer and fasting time by having a Worship Night at 7 p.m. at our South campus. Come ready to worship the Lord. We believe there’s great value in our kids watching how we worship so we encourage you to bring your kids as there will not be childcare offered.
