Good Hope Church's - Cloquet Podcast

Fall 2024 Vision Series // Reach Up

Pastor Mike Stevens Season 86 Episode 1

In Good Hope Vision Part 1, Pastor Mike emphasizes the importance of vision within the church. He explains that vision means "pointing the way simply and effectively" so everyone can contribute. The core vision statement—Reach Up, Rise Up, Reach Out—defines Good Hope Church’s mission. Pastor Mike shares his personal journey, recalling how he initially didn’t care about church traditions but was driven to help others know Christ for both eternity and this life. He challenges the church to avoid "dead or toxic religion" and instead build a real relationship with God.

In this first part, Pastor Mike focuses on Reach Up, which emphasizes connecting with God through prayer, worship, and the Word. He warns of the dangers of being lost without God, both outside and inside the church. He highlights that through grace, everyone can build a real relationship with God, regardless of their past. The message closes with an invitation to open the door to a relationship with Jesus.
