Super Vision Sunday 2020

Nine Qualities of a Great Finisher

February 2, 2020 • Gary Moritz

Each year on Superbowl Sunday, we do a stand-alone talk that focuses on what God accomplished in the past year and what He has for us next. On a day that many people in the world will stop to focus on a game, we want to stop and fix our focus on God’s game plan for our church.

Most people go through life seeing the world through a “foggy lens” or distracted by peripheral things; however, God desires His children to clearly see His vision for His Kingdom which will never fail and will ultimately outlast us. In 2020, we are looking at the beginning of a "decade of destiny" for our church that will bring about future Kingdom growth for all generations.

The goal of following Jesus is to do what He commanded us to do as we obey His word. Last year we accomplished many of the goals we believe God set before us; but we have much more to do.

“The reflections of the heart belong to mankind, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. 3Commit your activities to the Lord, and your plans will be established. 9A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.” ---Proverbs 16:1, 3, 9 (CSB, Old Testament)

Nehemiah was a great finisher. He was a leader who saw the need and trusted God to finish the vision strong through him.

"Super Vision Weekend 2024"

February 11, 2024 • Gary Moritz • Ephesians 3:10–12, Ephesians 3:20–21

It’s Super Vision Weekend! A time when we pause and celebrate what God has done during the past year and focus on what’s ahead. As we look to activate our church in 2024, it will be important to maintain a proper focus as we ask God to use our church to make a more significant Kingdom impact. “I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? 2My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” —Psalms 121:1-2 As we focus on activating our church for the future, we must remain faithful to our God-given vision and mission. OUR VISION: To see New England transformed by making disciples and planting churches to multiply the kingdom of God. OUR MISSION: To lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, resulting in MORE disciples and churches.

Super Vision Weekend | "Lifting Your Generosity"

February 12, 2023 • Gary Moritz • Joshua 4:19–24

A New Year means new beginnings, and even though you desire to move forward, it can sometimes feel like you have fallen short of your goals and expectations. Whether it seems like life’s circumstances are piling up, your mind can’t get through a mental block, or your emotions are paralyzing you, you can pick yourself back up and move forward this year. God can help you align your focus so that you can take your spiritual growth to the next level. “The Lord helps all who fall; he raises up all who are oppressed.” —Psalm 145:14 This collection will help you reset your priorities for the new year.

SUPER VISION WEEKEND 2022

February 13, 2022 • Gary Moritz • James 4:13–17

It’s Super Vision Weekend 2022, the time when we pause and look towards the future and the direction that God is leading us for greater impact. We may be terrible at predicting the future, but we can pray and strive to create it. For the past seven years, we have been focused on repairing, rebuilding, and preparing for what God has NEXT for our church. The turnaround we have experienced is only by the hand of God. We have learned flexibility, dependency, and perseverance. Now it’s time to focus on what our impact will be over the next few years. As we move into this new year there will be new opportunities. It is important that everyone at City United Church is involved and takes personal responsibility to see our God-given vision and mission accomplished. Our beliefs and behavior must be aligned.
