Follwoing Jesus Together: Passionatly, Courageously, Increasingly
GCWP
Almost every company has a vision statement and then a stratergy behind it to deliver it.
Without those 2 things no-one really knows what they are trying to acheive as a company or organisation.
Although in Nandos case, I’m not sure they know what they are delivering even with a vision statement!
Most of life requires vision and stratergy.
You’ll be hard pushed to think of anything you do in your own life that you don’t have some sort of vision and stratergy for.
It wont be written down or even thought about, but you’ll generaly have a goal and a plan to get there.
It is, unsuprisingly, the way in which God operates, and it is therfore the way in which he has designed us human beings to operate.
Start with ourselevs.
You go to work becasue you aim to earn a living, to care for your family, to provide and to suceed at life.
Your vision is therefore survival or even to thrive, and your starergy is to get a job and keep it.
So you get up on time, you have travel arrangements in place etc.
You might aim to have a relaxed and lazy Saturday - so your vision is to relax, and your stratergyy might be to deliberatly not plan anything that day!
You have a vison for what your boby looks and acts like and we make a stratergy for diet and fitness accordingily.
And when we don’t have a vision for our boidies, we tend to get into bad habits.
God is the same.
He had a vision to create a humnaity who would bring glory to himself.
in order to bring glory to himself.
so, he developed a stratergy.
so, he developed a stratergy.
He created a world,
populated it with people and gave us his son Jesus as a loving sacrifice for our sin.
He planned it,
He saves us,
So we give him the glory.
All of life requires vision and stratergy.
A vison of the final goal,
And a startergy, a plan of how to get there.
Everytime you get in the car you have a vision of where you want to get to, and a startergy.
a route to get there!
prov 28
2 years ago we launched a new vision statement for us as a church.
Following Jesus Togeteher, Passionately, Couragously and Increasingly.
That’s our vision - that is, in an ideal world, what we are as a church.
And With the addition and changes in staff
in Septemeber just gone, with Tim joining us as Asst.
Pastor,
And Adam as Pastor in training.
And now Esther leaving us for a church plant in Barkingside -
incidentally, an advert is out at the moment for a new Childrens and youth worker, but normally chidlrens and uyouth workers move around in Spetember, so we might have to have a little gap.
So an advert is out at the moment, but normally chidlrens and uyouth workers move around in Spetember, so we might have to have a little gap.
But, with all these changes,
The question we as elders have been exploring this last year is how do we use our resources to move towards this vision.
And so that is what we are launching today.
We’ve actually been trialling it since september, and so far, so good,
so now we’re just taking today as an oppertunity to share with you all how we are stratergising to serve the purposes of God here at GCWP.
And to do that, we’re going to look at what Jesus says about vision and stratergy for his church,
and hopefully we can see how we are trying to allign oursleves with that.
Practially for each of us here,
I trust it will inspire us to see how we can all be part of Jesus’ vision and stratergy for the church as well.
There are many passages in the bible that can be used to look at what Jesus and the apostles intended for the vision and stratergy of the church,
but probably non better than here in .
In the first half of Ephesians Paul has unfolded the eternal plan of God with its goal, or vision if you like, of summing up all things in Christ.
In the first half of Ephesians the apostle has unfolded for his readers the eternal plan of God with its goal of summing up all things in Christ.
His direct appeal in chapter 4 is based on the foundation of their being reconciled in Christ and made part of God’s new humanity.
Jesus is the one to be glorified and the means by which everything is acheived.
Now in chapter 4, Paul shows us how Jesus himself expects the church to operate,
behave stategically is you like, in order to acomplish that greater vision.
But he also gives us church level vision first.
So, that’s our first point,
1 - Jesus’ Vision for Us.
eph 4 11-
Jesus has given us certain people with certain responsibilities and gifts, apostles, prophets, evangelists etc - (that ‘s his stratergy that we will come onto in a minute) to acheive His own vision for the Chruch.
His vision for the church is quite simple: from the end of v12
eph 4 11
‘so that the body of Christ may be built up 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.’
To put it even more simply,
Jesus wants his church to be united in faith and knowledge of the Son of God - which we find a good explanation of in v2-6 if you look back at that:
Unity in faith therefore has to have much todo with being united in love becasue of our shared faith in Jesus the Son of God.
And United in the knowldge of the Son of God has to be, to be in agreement on core doctrines and theology.
In other words, Issues of the bible that affect peoples salavation, the examples Paul gives are
One Lord - reminding us we must hold to the truth that salavtion is only available in Jesus the Lord,
One faith - no other ideologiy or religion or idea will do - there is only one faith.
one Baptism (representing our trust in the death and resurection of Jesus for salvation
One God and Father of all- showing we hold a doctrine of One God, there are no others, and any distraction from him would be idolotrous.
He is the Father of all, the creator -there is no other lilke him!
We might disagree of other aspects of theology and doctirne at times - but we must hold fast to what are often called Gospel Issues - Issues that threaten salvation if we do not hold to them.
Jesus’s vision for the church then is,
A loving unity with each other
And
An intelligent unity around core Gospel issues
I trust that is all refelcted in our own Vision statement,
I trust that is all refelcted in our Vision statement,
SLIDE - Vision statement
Following Jesus ‘Together’, - so, we’re united in love, a family, in our faith and walk with Jesus.
