In today’s gathering, we explored the profound concept of vision, particularly how it relates to our faith and our role as stewards of God’s revelations. We began by acknowledging that when God imparts a vision, it is not solely for us to execute independently. Instead, it requires a collaborative effort with Him, recognizing that we are stewards of what He has entrusted to us. This stewardship means understanding that the vision is not ours but His, and we must be faithful in sharing and nurturing it.

We also delved into the importance of civic engagement, especially in the context of voting. Drawing from biblical teachings, we emphasized the responsibility of Christians to be active participants in society, including exercising the right to vote. This is part of being good citizens and living out our faith in practical ways. We discussed the findings of a survey that highlighted the potential impact of churches in motivating non-voting believers to participate in elections, underscoring the role of the church in fostering civic responsibility.

Furthermore, we introduced the concept of “vision builders,” individuals who are fully committed to the church’s mission and vision. These vision builders are not only dedicated to supporting the church community but also to partnering with global missions. We celebrated the church’s longstanding commitment to giving and supporting both local and international missions, highlighting the upcoming Vision Builders event as a time of celebration and reflection on our collective achievements.

The sermon concluded with a reflection on the nature of divine vision. We discussed how God’s vision often requires His provision, and how it is essential to prepare our hearts to receive and nurture this vision. By writing down and sharing the vision, it begins to take on a life of its own, drawing people and resources to it. We were reminded of the importance of patience and faithfulness in stewarding God’s vision, using the story of Abraham and Sarah as an example of the challenges and rewards of trusting in God’s promises.
