2012 GBBC Vision

2012 GBBC Vision“Where there is no vision, thepeople perish.” – Proverbs 29:18

2012 GBBC VisionRemember from last year thedifference between mission andvision—

2012 GBBC VisionOur mission ispredetermined, and does notchange. It flows out of anunderstanding of God’s mission.

2012 GBBC VisionGod’s mission is to bring glory toHimself. Therefore, our mission isalso to bring glory to Him.

Ezekiel 36:22-23; 3222“Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is whatthe Sovereign LORD says: It is not for yoursake, people of Israel, that I am going to dothese things, but for the sake of my holyname, which you have profaned among thenations where you have gone.

Ezekiel 36:22-23; 3223I will show the holiness of my greatname, which has been profaned among thenations, the name you have profaned amongthem. Then the nations will know that I am theLORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I amproved holy through you before their eyes.

Ezekiel 36:22-23; 3232I want you to know that I am not doing thisfor your sake, declares the Sovereign LORD. Beashamed and disgraced for yourconduct, people of Israel!

Isaiah 42:88 “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.

Isaiah 48:1111For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another.

Jeremiah 14:77 Although our sins testify against us, do something, LORD, for the sake of your name.For we have often rebelled; we have sinned against you.

Psalm 23:3b3 ...He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

Psalm 79:99Help us, God our Savior, for the glory of your name;deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.

Psalm 115:1 & 31 Not to us, LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness…3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.

John 8:5050I am not seeking glory for myself; but there isone who seeks it, and he is the judge.

2012 GBBC VisionSo again, because God’s mission isto bring glory to Himself, ourultimate mission must also be tobring glory to Him.

2012 GBBC VisionBut how we accomplish this atGBBC…this is what we call Vision.

2012 GBBC Vision• Vision = How a local church is going to fulfill the Mission• What are our specific actions in this specific place for this specific time?• Includes programming, events, budgets, personnel, etc.

2012 GBBC VisionWhat happens when we don’thave a clear vision?

2012 GBBC Vision“Where there is no vision, the peoplecast off restraint.” – Proverbs 29:18

2012 GBBC Vision • Individual directions vs unified vision…

2012 GBBC Vision• When the missional, biblical vision comes together; when power and people meet, incredible synergy can take place• When a church is on board with a biblical vision seeking to accomplish the mission, it will look like this…
