Hebron Christian Faith Church - Vision
Someone has said that the poorest man in the world is not one without money but the one without a vision for his life. He resembles a great ship made for a mighty ocean, yet trying to navigate a pond. He has no far port to reach and no precious cargo to carry. His hours are absorbed in routine pettiness. What a tragic waste!
Proverbs 29:18 describes a similar scenario; when God’s people have no vision, they have no victory! Vision is imperative to successful Christian living and we at Hebron believe that God has a special plan and specific vision for each individual. Each member must discover God’s purpose for their lives within His bigger vision for the local church. Hebron Christian Faith Church is a church driven by God-given vision and purpose. The finer details of the overall, long-term vision are presented below whilst the specific focus for this year is detailed in the Vision 2011 link above. Everyone is significant and plays an important role in accomplishing God’s vision.
HEBRON'S MAIN VISION
Nothing we can envisage will be impossible; that is the power of spiritual vision. When a group of people embrace the same vision in unity, their corporate faith will bring it to pass. Even when it seems to ’tarry’, vision will motivate & keep us going.
The Vision:
- To establish a church that magnifies the Lordship of Jesus Christ, where the Holy Spirit is obeyed & the Bible is the final rule & authority for faith and practice.
- To establish a church that revives & equips its members to walk out their lives victoriously. A church that, through the power of God’s word and the anointing of His Holy Spirit, equips both adults and children to become effective members of the the Body of Christ
- To establish a church that brings hope and encouragement to all, and is committed to active social & civil involvement, meeting the needs of all sections of the community and touching lives with God’s love, compassion & understanding.
To achieve our ultimate goal of reaching the unsaved, our primary focus is discipleship - edifying and equipping the saints and building mature disciples not simply converts. If God’s word is not working effectively in our lives why should others receive our witness? We need to demonstrate effective and victorious Christian living. To do that, we must first have revelation of God’s word on how to live ‘in Christ’ but also, we must then be doers of that word, since it is only the 'doers' who are blessed!
