My Vision Messages

All my January vision-casting messages.

On the Rock

In this series, we’re going back to the foundations of the Christian life and the church to realize they are both built on the same rock.

FASTer

What if the best way to get ahead was to take a few steps back? In this series, we explore the backwards shortcut to amazing spiritual growth.

Resolved

At the beginning of the year, we tend to think of the promises we want to make to ourselves, the good intentions we have for the coming year. Some of us make “Resolutions” but most of us don’t anymore because we are tired of disappointing ourselves. Actually, the problem with resolutions is that there isn’t […]

Four Life-Giving Choices

Four choices you can make are more important than all others…

Inside Out

We have a tendency to live our lives from the outside in. We let the people around us, the society around us, and many other influences around us shape us and mold us until we begin to look a little bit more like everyone else. But that’s not the way life is supposed to be. […]

The Elements

Jesus is our model for life and spirituality, and Jesus’ character and actions can be distilled into four core elements that express the teaching of the entire Bible.

The immense force of gravity is offset by the tremendous forces in the core. That is our metaphor for the first month […]

Fresh Air

It’s January 2009, and we have the chance to begin a brand new year with new hopes and new challenges. Perhaps your 2008 was a little stressful. Begin 2009 with a breath of Fresh Air. In this series, we discuss the four core values of our church from the perspective that they are the four […]
