Vision Weekend 2025 | To Live Is Christ

What if biblical vision isn't about creating something new, but about seeing what God is already doing and joining Him in that work? In this powerful message, we wrap up our "To Live is Christ" series from Philippians 4 and explore how contentment, strength, and provision in Christ lead us to discover our unique "one thing" for 2026. Learn the secret Paul discovered about accepting all circumstances, doing all things through Christ's strength, and trusting God's provision through generous giving. Plus, discover what happens when urgent needs meet your unique ability—and how your one contribution might change eternity for many.

📖 Key Scriptures Referenced:

• John 4:35 - Open your eyes to the harvest that's ready now
• Philippians 4:10-12 - Paul's secret to contentment in all circumstances
• Philippians 4:13 - Doing all things through Christ who gives strength
• Philippians 4:14-20 - Partnership in the gospel through generous giving
• Philippians 4:17 - "Not that I seek the gift, but the fruit that increases to your credit"
• Philippians 4:19 - God supplies every need according to His riches in glory

🎯 Main Points:

1. Biblical Vision = Eyes Wide Open
   • Vision isn't inventing something new; it's seeing what God is already doing
   • The harvest is ripe right now in our communities
   • Opportunity comes when urgency meets ability
2. The "All Things" Framework
   • I can ACCEPT all things (contentment learned through Christ)
   • I can DO all things (strength through Christ in every circumstance)
   • I HAVE all things (God's provision through generous living)
3. The Secret of Contentment
   • Not a spiritual gift, but something learned
   • Rejoice in the Lord, present requests to God, let His peace guard your heart
   • Making Christ the theme of life brings acceptance of all circumstances
4. Strength in Every Season
   • Philippians 4:13 isn't about performance or achievements
   • It's about accepting difficult circumstances through Christ's empowerment
   • Because of Christ, we can embrace need, hunger, and being brought low
5. Generous Giving Unlocks Abundant Living
   • The church doesn't want your money, but God knows generosity frees your heart
   • Giving creates "fruit that increases to your credit"
   • Promise: God supplies every need according to His riches in glory
6. From All Things to One Thing
   • As we close 2025: Commit to accepting, doing, and having "all things" in Christ
   • As we begin 2026: Discover your "ONE THING" God is calling you to contribute
   • Your unique story and gifts are exactly what God needs for His vision

💡 Big Takeaway: What is the ONE THING God is calling you to do as a participant in His work? Your contribution—whatever you have to offer—might change eternity for one person or many.
