Summary: When you are moving toward the future, it is good to know where you are going. It is good to have a vision of how things are going to look down the road a bit.

We find out where the world’s lost are hidden and we get them and bring them to God.

That’s what Jesus did! Fresh off the mountain of transfiguration, he reveal the glory of God by giving himself away in ministry.

Jesus said, “The Son of Man has come not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Jesus said, “Whosoever want to follow me, let that one deny self, take up the cross, and follow!”

We spend so much time trying to build up the church – and too little time experiencing God and revealing God’s greatness to the world.

Building up the institution of the church is not a bad thing. It is just not the main thing. At best, it is a byproduct. If we focus on revealing the greatness of God to the world, then God will take care of the growth of the church.

Do you know the greatest plan ever developed for church growth? It is rather simple, incredibly powerful, and profoundly biblical.

The greatest plan for growing a church is that we become a community of people who are opening to experiencing and revealing “the greatness of God” through all we think, say, and do. If we become that kind of people, then people will be drawn to this place. They will come not because of our plans or programs, but because when they are among us, they will see a vision of God’s greatness.
