Let Me show you...

What we focus on shapes who we become. This profound truth anchors a powerful exploration of vision and purpose that challenges us to examine where our spiritual eyes are fixed. Drawing from Paul's teaching that as we look at the Lord we are transformed into His image, we're reminded that our gaze determines our growth. The message takes us through a compelling journey from Proverbs 29:18, where we learn that without vision people perish, to understanding that when we lack divine guidance, we run wild without boundaries. We then looked at a visions God gave us as UCC: the image of a heart pumping light across a darkened map, and an airport where people arrive and depart, each carrying something precious with them. We're invited to see ourselves as part of a nearly 200-year legacy, a congregation never meant to be ordinary but called to regional impact. The vision isn't new but renewed for our generation. Through the testimony of a Russian brother whose great-grandfather was rescued from a battlefield and introduced to Christ, creating five generations of believers, we witness how one person touched by the gospel can change destinies. This isn't just about attending church; it's about becoming mature disciples who carry God's light wherever we go, whether to Russians, Venezuelans, Americans, or any nation God places in our path. The question becomes deeply personal: Have we asked God what vision He has for our lives, regardless of our age?
