The Good Land
A message from Pastor Landon from Deuteronomy 8 for Vision Sunday 2025.
On Vision Sunday 2025, Pastor Landon Reynolds explores Deuteronomy 8:7-20, examining how God brings His people into a "good land" while warning them about the dangers of forgetting Him in times of blessing. This powerful message looks at Local Church's journey, mission refinement, and vision for the future.
📌 Key Points:
The tension between blessing and potential drift from mission
Refining the church's mission from "love God" to "seek God"
Three mission-critical moves for sustainable growth
The importance of financial autonomy and volunteer sustainability
Recommitment to the Great Commission
🎯 Through examining Israel's transition into the Promised Land, this message challenges us to maintain our mission focus even in seasons of blessing and growth. As Local Church celebrates its early wins, the emphasis remains on building a sustainable, disciple-making church for generations to come.
