Joel Delph: Spiritual Vision
Joel’s message on “Spiritual Vision” helped me identify my vision and start creating my critical first-year plan to begin building my new life
(Joel’s message starts at 15:45 in the video)
“Let’s define spiritual vision; it’s a clarity of purpose and commitment to follow the leading of God in my life. Spiritual vision beats goals every single day. Spiritual vision will help you see joy when others see sorrow and pain. Spiritual vision will help you gain strength when everything about you should say you are feeling weak. And when you get a vision for something, you can do what others see as impossible”
Joel Delph: How to be Truly Grateful
Joel’s message on “Gratitude” taught me
“Gratitude is an appreciation of what God has done, is doing, and a hope for what He will do“. And
“Gratitude is an action, not an attitude“.

“Salvation is found in no one else, fo there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” Acts 4:12
Greg Surratt: Unusual Kindness-The Kind That Changes Everything
1) Unusual kindness sees the person, not the label everyone is giving them
Kindness tears off the label and speaks life into the person
2) Unusual kindness risks your reputation for someone else’s redemption
If the Pharisees wouldn’t be upset by what you are doing, you may be playing it too safe.
3) Unusual kindness starts where people are, not where you wish they were
Kindness begins in the room where they actually live, not the room you wish they were in.
