What I find compelling about a captivating vision is that it helps us overcome many challenges. When we experience obstacles, vision compels us forward with hope. When the inevitable setback slows us down, vision calls us to press on. The joy of church life is that we are called together as a community to follow Jesus where He is leading us. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Just as God used Nehemiah to paint an inspiring vision for his people (that the rebuilding of the walls would lead to God\u2019s people gathering together to experience his presence), I am excited for how God will use this series to shape us, whether on a Sunday morning, through our times of prayer or in our community groups. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Looking forward to gathering together on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: right;\">Pastor Fabian Chiu\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Pray<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Ephesians 3:17-21\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And I pray that you, being rooted\u00a0and established in love,\u00a0may have power, together with all the Lord\u2019s holy people,\u00a0to grasp how wide and long and high and deep\u00a0is the love of Christ,\u00a0and to know this love that surpasses knowledge\u2014that you may be filled\u00a0to the measure of all the fullness of God.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Now to him who is able\u00a0to do immeasurably more than all we ask\u00a0or imagine, according to his power\u00a0that is at work within us,\u00a0to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
