This sermon focuses on the importance of personal vision as the foundation for corporate church vision. The pastor emphasizes that vision must begin in the heart of every believer before a church can have an incredible corporate vision. Using biblical examples like Joseph's dreams and Mary's response to God's calling, the sermon outlines that vision involves visualizing what God births in your spirit, internalizing it deeply in your heart, strategizing with a plan, initiating action even when alone, and overcoming obstacles through faith. The pastor shares personal stories and church examples, including a motorcycle ministry that started with one person's vision, to illustrate how individual obedience to God's calling creates powerful ministry impact. The message concludes with encouragement that despite life's turbulence and setbacks, God remains faithful and has a unique vision and purpose for every believer.
Key Verses:
- Proverbs 29:18
- Genesis 37
- Joshua 24:15
Life Application:
This week, spend time in prayer asking God to reveal or clarify His vision for your life. Write down what you sense He is speaking to you, then take one concrete step toward that vision - whether it's researching, planning, or simply sharing it with a trusted friend or mentor. Remember that vision requires both hearing from God and taking action in faith.

The message emphasizes that Jesus experienced deep hurt and rejection throughout his life, not just on the cross, so that we could become heirs and joint heirs with Christ.
