Vision
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
​
Jeremiah 29:11
-
A quality that all good pastors have is vision. Having vision allows a pastor to plan for the future. After all, isn’t the main purpose of a pastor to prepare us for our future in heaven?
-
As Christians we spend a lot of time preparing for the future. A pastor should help their congregation to better understand what’s in store for them when we depart this life.
-
A pastor should also have a vision for their congregation and the church. Compared to an eternity with God, this vision seems rather shortsighted.
-
A vision for the church should be centered on improving existing church services and preparing to meet future needs of faith. Having vision is similar to having a plan and executing the plan is just as important.
