First Love

To See

God has given Grace Covenant Church the vision to see thousands saved, healed, and passionately following Jesus. WOW, that is HUGE! He has also given us this mission as our starting point – Love Big, Grow Deep, and Go Out! As we review our exciting and enormous vision, it is wise for us to remember how the foundation of our mission helps us to accomplish our vision. It all starts with LOVE-God is love and His love for us is ENORMOUS! God loves all people extravagantly, unfailingly, and sacrificially! His love for us is so great that He sent His son, Jesus, who never sinned, to pay the ultimate penalty of sin in our place by dying on a cross. God’s BIG LOVE for us compels us to give His love away. We show God’s love to everyone we meet so that they, in return, can also experience God’s BIG LOVE in their own life.

From Series: "To See"

"If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." And that's why it's important to have a vision: it gives an individual, an organization and a church (like us!) a picture of where we want to be heading. For us here at Grace, our vision is "to see thousands saved, healed and passionately following Jesus." No small task! And what in the world will keep us motivated to keep pursuing this vision? Obligation? Fear? Motivational speeches? Pep rallies? What's love got to do with vision?
