VISION WEEK 2 - FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING

ANNOUNCEMENT: Weekend away is less than one month away! Check that your group has registered!



Open in prayer

Read Matthew 28: 18-20

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

According to Jesus what does a thriving church look like?

What do you feel are currently the biggest challenges in carrying out Jesus’ commission?

When you think about the future of the church, what do you feel? (Hope? Fear? Uncertainty?) Why do you think you feel that?

Has there been a time in which you have sensed Jesus’ presence as you have sought to follow him in making disciples?

Read over the vision statement:

TO BE A GROWING, HEALTHY, MULTI-GENERATIONAL CHURCH HAVING A SYDNEY WIDE IMPACT FOR CHRIST.

Are there any parts of this vision statement that particularly excite you?

How do you feel about taking risks and making sacrifices over the next few years in order to see this vision achieved.



Pray: That God would enable us to trust him for the future.
That he would help us navigate the decision to change our meeting location to the school.
That we would be able to be a church that really does live out Jesus’ great commission.
