Vision: Week 1

The sermon explores the church's vision, emphasizing a return to its original purpose as defined by God. It argues that the church's initial vision was too limited and calls for a broader understanding of its global purpose. Drawing parallels between Genesis 1:28 and Acts 1:8, the sermon suggests these verses act as bookends, framing humanity's purpose: to fill the earth with God's glory. Sin disrupted this purpose, but Jesus's sacrifice and the gift of the Holy Spirit allows believers to reclaim their original calling. The speaker encourages listeners to embrace this renewed purpose, reject apathy, and actively participate in God's plan for global transformation.
