Great Vision Takes Possession (3 of 3)
Series: Great Vision For A Great Church
Frank Damazio
Introduction: Great vision is a vision that is as big as our great God. In the last three messages, we saw that great vision takes a great church, great faith, and a great challenge. Now we will look at the last element of great vision: possession.
When Joshua commissioned the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh to possess their land, he told them to go up, cut down, drive out, and take possession:
Joshua 17:17-18
