How many of you have experienced God’s love? Now, I am not asking you what you have seen in others…I am asking what you have experienced in your own life. When it comes to love…I am not sure if we really understand it…or live it. Love has been written about since the beginning of time. It has been the topic of poets, it has caused wars, people have been killed because of it, and songs have been written about it. Some people use the word all the time…some people use it sparingly. If there is any group of people who should…should understand love…it should be the followers of Christ.

Please keep in mind that we have established the following: God has a vision for your life…and for this church! God is going to use different people and strategies (we called them vehicles) to help us fulfill the vision! Last week we talked about praying about the vision and the vehicle…and we also recognize that we need power for the vehicle! So…it sounds like we are doing well. You have a vision…you have a strategy…you are praying…and God is supplying the power! Did you know there is one major problem that can prevent us from fulfilling the vision that God has placed in our hearts?

What problems can a church have if it does not have vision? What problems can a person have if he/she does not have a vision for his/her life?
