I heard Eric Geiger (Simple Church) say this morning, “When you share your vision, it can’t sound like an announcement.” And, “You should not share your vision until you can preach it. You have to believe in your church’s vision so much that it would be sin if it is not realized.” That’s powerful stuff man. And I think it is true.

When Steve Jobs (the Apple guy for our PC readers) presents a new product, like the iPhone, he doesn’t just announce it; he sells it. In fact, I would say he preaches it. PASTORS, don’t just announce the vision God has given you for your church; PREACH IT!
