The Awesome Power of Vision

Delivered on 01/02/2021

Part 1 of the series The Awesome Power of Vision

God has a unique vision for each and every one of us... whether we can see it or not! And the only way we are able to see God's plan for us is when we look at our lives with faith instead of fear.

Fear is a sickness that leads to a lack of vision. And lack of vision turns into indecision, division, and collision. All of these ‘side effects' combined will cause us to miss the amazing things God has planned for our lives. Use this message by Pastor Rick Warren leading up to the new year to teach your members how to see their future through the eyes of faith. Ensure that the coming year will be one where fear is nowhere to be found, and that your congregation finds the vision they've been missing.
