20/20 Vision: Sharing God's Direction
Nehemiah 5  

I.  Introduction

Sees the need

Feels the need

Shares the need

Meets the need

A God-ordained vision will begin as a concern. Something will bother you about the way things are.

Vision is a reflection of what God wants to do through us to impact the world.  It is not about maintaining the staus quo.

Visions are born in the soul of a man or woman who is consumed with the tension between what is and what could be.
