Celebration Sunday: Looking Back, Pressing Forward - Chris Dillon, Lead Pastor 02.20.22

New Life of Asheville Messages

As a community of faith, New Life has so much to be grateful for! God has been immeasurably faithful through a challenging season of history. We’ve seen God at work, and we’re trusting Him to do even more in us and through us in the days ahead. Vision is a picture of the future that produces action in the present. Jesus gives us quite a vision for His church. Advancing, conquering, building, knocking down the defenses of an evil kingdom. Not with swords or tanks, but with the good news of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit enabling us to love gently and speak boldly. The question each of us must ask afresh is: what’s my part to play in this story? What step can I take in 2022 to advance the ekklesia (church) of Jesus in my context? When we align our vision with the vision of Jesus, the gates of hell will not prevail against us!
