Enlarging

Pastor Jonathan shares a 2023 vision message for CTRF out of Isaiah 54. God is calling us to live expectantly as He is desiring to bring many sons and daughters into His kingdom. As William Carey said, "expect great things from God, attempt great things for God!"

The prophet Isaiah then instructs how we are to prepare for the enlarging the Lord is about to bring forth:

1.) Stretching - "stretch forth the tent curtains": This speaks to us being stretched out of those places of comfort so we cam make room for what God wants to do.

2.) Lengthening - "lengthen your cords": We are to expand our reach as a church and in our personal lives, but it starts with reaching for what He wants to do by faith!

3.) Strengthening - "strengthen the tent pegs": We need to strengthen our own faith, going deeper in our walk with Jesus.
