WHAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT?

2020 Vision

Scott Young ~ Pastor of Hope

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people. - Ephesians 1:18

OPEN EYES HAVE VISION FOR WHAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT

1. Winning People Who Are Far From God “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9 Then Jesus said to them, “So wherever you go in the world, tell everyone the Good News. – Mark 16:1 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. Building People In Their Faith I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong — 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. – Romans 1:11-12 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. – 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. – Colossian 2:6-7 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. Connecting People With Their God Given Purpose And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. - Romans 8:28 Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body, and individually [you are] members of it [each with his own special purpose and function]. – 1 Corinthians 12:27 AMP Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. – 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
