Though John Wesley was a preacher’s kid and had a strong Christian upbringing, it was not until he experienced failure as a missionary to America and returned disappointed and dejected to England that God’s fresh Holy Spirit power was poured out upon him. During this time of holy conversation, prayer, and discernment, it is important to be reminded of “what” we are doing and “why” we are doing it! By the end of worship, my hope is that you will have gained more clarity and focus on your life with Christ, and that you will be fired up about your involvement in what God is doing at Christ Church! One fundamental axiom of leadership is that “Vision Leaks.” As we engage in this time of holy conversation, prayer, and discernment with the purpose of “making the main thing the main thing,” it becomes crucial to consistently remind ourselves of “who” we are and “what” we are striving to achieve as we follow Jesus and journey together in His Church. I am lifting up a vision centered around “Big Questions” that every Christ follower should be able to answer. The power of that “Perspective” for our own lives is the focus of this new message series. In His letter to the Philippians, the Apostle Paul demonstrates a unique “Perspective” in the midst of his struggles. In tough times we often ponder: Now What? What’s next? How should we react? In the midst of it all, our relationship with Jesus makes a huge difference. Sometimes the challenge is short lived and other times the hardship is ongoing. Either we know someone going through them or we ourselves have been there. Throughout everyday life there are times when we encounter difficulties.
