Mission, Vision and all that Jazz

In the corporatized world in which we live, words like vision and mission get thrown around like confetti. It gets to the point that unless these things, or whatever they represent are adopted in every organisation, including the church, something is missing. And yet what do they mean?

The word vision does crop up frequently in the Bible (over 100 times) and yet never in regard to the church or Israel deciding what to do next. Mission occurs 3 times and commission, never. Why then all this bother about these words?

November is Vision month, so what is it all about? Come on Sunday to find out!
