It's so good to see you this morning. I want you to take God's word and turn to the twentieth chapter of the Book of Acts. Today we're going to talk about "The Heavenly Vision - The Vision of Greatness". The vision of greatness and our example would be the life of that great apostle Paul that God used in such a mighty way.

FOR I HAVE NOT SHUNNED TO DECLARE UNTO YOU ALL THE COUN ...
