A 3-E Perspective
Imagine you want to go somewhere. You have a destination in mind, therefore your direction set. But if you have direction without directions (notice the “s”), that isn’t enough. In the same way, having directions without direction won’t get you anywhere either. Knowing how to proceed but not having any aim will result in pointless activity. We need to know not only what we’re doing and where we’re headed, but also how to get there.
For any organization, a mission statement provides the direction, the corporate aim, the target. Such summary statements answer the question: What? They are important, but they can’t generate the kind of activity that will move a person or organization forward unless some directions accompany the statement of direction.
We’ve stated and repeated that we lead people to follow Jesus. That’s the overarching mission guiding all we do. Having direction is crucial, but we also need directions. This week we’ll begin a mini-series of three messages on how we can accomplish what God has called us to do. I hope you will join us in worship.
