I don’t often preach “Vision Casting” sermons…but this week’s sermon was an exception. The sermon text was John 17:13-23, a portion of Jesus’ prayer just before He gets arrested and ultimately heads to the cross. But the topic was our “Community Groups”…and particularly the “Third Place” or outreach aspect that our Elders are seeking to pursue. I pray that our congregation’s vision of God is magnified and that our motivation to be about His mission and align ourselves with His priorities is increased.
