Mission Objectives: We Live By faith, Not Sight.

2 Corinthians 5 (MSG) 6-8 That’s why we live with such good cheer. You won’t see us drooping

our heads or dragging our feet! Cramped conditions here don’t get us

down. They only remind us of the spacious living conditions ahead.

It’s what we trust in but don’t yet see that keeps us going. Do you sup-

pose a few ruts in the road or rocks in the path are going to stop us?

When the time comes, we’ll be plenty ready to exchange exile for

homecoming.
