Vision introduction
What is it and from where does it come?
Vision has purpose and it has a mission.
All of our missions are based on our purpose.
If our purpose is to glorify the Lord then our mission (i.e.
what we do and and how we live) is based completely on that.
Excellence
In the world in which we live today, excellence is an extreme.
“Good Enough” seems to be the slogan most of us use when we are drifting aimlessly.
Excellence according to the Bible is not just about great work but is the theme of which greatness consists.
“The verb to ‘excel’ occurs 13 times in AV, translating just as many different Heb. and Gr.
words, but always distinctly with the sense of ‘be pre-eminent over others,’ ‘surpass.’”[1]
Both excellence and excellent come from this verb, and are seen in many different Scriptural contexts.
Each time any of these are used it is describing someone or something that is surpassing or above another
[1] Hastings, J. (1911–1912).
EXCELLENCY.
In J. Hastings, J. A. Selbie, A. B. Davidson, S. R. Driver, & H. B. Swete (Eds.),
A Dictionary of the Bible: Dealing with Its Language, Literature, and Contents Including the Biblical Theology (Vol. 1, p. 799).

His mere name is to be praised for its excellence.
Connecting, Growing and Serving?
Knowing Christ more causes us to connect with the lost more.
It causes us to want to grow together spiritually.
It also spurs us forward in serving anyone we can, just as Christ willing laid down His life in service for us.

Nothing in the mind of Paul was more exciting than just knowing Christ.
Knowing Christ, by His grace (
Nothing in the mind of Paul was more exciting than just knowing Christ.
Knowing Christ, by His grace (), was the far surpassing, pre-eminently enormous accomplishment of Paul’s life.
Rather than just focusing effort on type of dress or way of talking, excellence is shaped around who we are in the service of the King.
The concept of excellence is simple and enormous.
The Christian businessman and the Christian carpenter have one thing in common.
They have the excellence of Christ to emulate.
Everything we do is for the glory of God (), so we must do those things His way if we seek to give Him glory through them.
We must live and work for the all surpassing, pre-eminent over all, God and therefore the quality of what we have to offer should be equivalent.
I can never rest on what I have done.
I must always be reaching forward to the next step of a deeper relationship with Christ and service to Him.
In the matter of service, we cannot be right with God and be selfish in our service.
If the whole church served like you serve, where would we be?
Unity is the key to ministry excellence.
If the whole church had your attitude on unity, where would we be?
Phil.
3:15-
Being on Mission is vital to us.
So what is that Mission:
Be seeking Lord through His Word and Prayer.
Be intentional about making more and better disciples.
Be humble and selfless people who love God.
Be set on the foundation of Biblical principles and commited to communicating those principles through relevant and regular Bible Preaching and Teaching.
Be living by faith and contentment on what God is doing, both for our good and for His glory.
Be caring and compassionate stewards of the resources with which God has entrust us.
Follow those who seek unity and singleness of purpose.
Avoid those who seek destruction, disunity and subversion, because the God of excellence is watching.

Fear is real, but peace if found only in the grace that Christ supplies.
Phil.
4:4-
Rejoice in all God’s goodness and be gentle before the Lord’s coming.
In addition to joy, believers are to have gentleness, which is to be evident to all.
Epieikes (“gentleness”) suggests a forebearing, nonretaliatory spirit.
Joy, an inner quality in relation to circumstances, may not always be seen; but the way one reacts to others—whether in gentleness or harshness—will be noticed.
Why be gentle?
Because the Lord is near.
This probably refers to the Rapture, not to His presence with His own at all times.
Rejoice in God, but also in the fact that Christ is returning make sure all know Him through your gentle nature.
“Moderation” is really gentleness .

4:6-
Focus on the good stuff.
