KEY STATEMENTS ON BUILDING THE VISON

STATEMENT #1

We must remember God’s faithfulness.

If were going to build on the vision we are going to have to remember Gods faithfulness.

We cant build on the vision without recognizing the faithfulness of God.

God has been faithful to us from the very beginning church.

God has been faithful in a every

Adversity

Trial

Situation

Look at the old Testament

moses always reminded the people of Isreal of the faithfulness

when it was time for Joshua to lead the people of Isreal into the Promise land, Joshua reminded the people of Gods faithfulness.

Even Jesus reminded His disciples of the faithfulness of God, that He was out of the house of David and that God promise that he would send a savior.

church we cant build on the vision without first remembering the faithfulness of God.

But second statement

2. We can not live in experiences

It does not matter if the experience is positive or negative.

You cant build if you are living in experiences especially past experiences

we cannot live in past experiences because the will of God is not behind us, The will of God is always in front of us.

Jesus understood this and thats what He was trying to teach His disciples in

People know this as the mount of Transfiguration

Matthew 17:1–9 CSB

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. He was transfigured in front of them, and his face shone like the sun; his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good for us to be here. If you want, I will set up three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown and were terrified. Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.” When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus alone. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

Statement # 3

We must live in what we have been taught

To build on the vision we have live on what we have been taught.

What happens to us sometimes is that we get so pre occupied with the experience that we forget what we were taught.

Jesus didn’t bring Peter, James & John up there to live in the experience Jesus brought them up there so that they can learn that He was Jesus the Son Of God.

and they did not learn from the experience because when Jesus was crucified they forgot about the transfiguration.

and so it is so important as we celebrate our one year anniversary that are so grateful for what God has done

We appreciate His faithfulness but we cannot live in past experiences

Instead we have learn form those experiences and live on what we have been taught.

so our focus has to be on what we learned and not what we experienced

Thats what Jesus was trying to do with the disciples and thats what we want to establish here at come connect church.

Some of you have been here from the Beginning and some are just coming on in But regardless of how and when you got here i want you to live on what you been taught.

And Here at Come Connect Church we have learned to have Hope in Hopeless situation for Jesus is the Hope of the world

Hope

so is vital that we remember the faithfulness of God

that we don’t live in past experiences

But instead we live in what we have been taught.

This past year had some great experiences and God used it to prepare us for this upcoming year
