Join Mike Henry on the Follower of One Vision Cast for a powerful message about the true purpose of the local church! Drawing inspiration from Matthew 16, Mike unpacks the often-overlooked truth about the Church's offensive nature. We're not called to simply hunker down and wait for heaven; God has designed the Church to actively advance His Kingdom into every corner of society. Mike challenges listeners to see their everyday lives—work, relationships, passions—as opportunities to make Jesus visible. Discover how your actions, when motivated by faith, become acts of worship that build God's Kingdom. This Vision Cast is a call to action for every believer who wants to see God move in their world.
