Finding Focus for 2025: A Vision for the Year Ahead
As we begin a new year, it feels like the perfect time for each of us to take a step back to focus on what matters most. For those of us at Salt Church, this means centring our lives around God’s purposes for us in 2025, and beyond!
In previous years, we’ve held a Vision Sunday at the end of January to kickstart the year and recalibrate our hearts and minds for what God wants to accomplish through us. However, this year we’re doing something a little different. For 2025, we’re expanding Vision Sunday into a four-week series, and we couldn’t be more excited to walk through this with our church family.
Why the Shift?
A one-off Vision Sunday is valuable for getting everyone on the same page, but we felt God leading us to go deeper. Over four weeks, we’ll explore specific behaviours that will help us grow into the people and the church God is calling us to be. We want everyone—whether you’re new to Salt Church or have been here for years—to have clarity on what really matters and why it matters.
In particular, we’ll focus on the ‘5Ms’: Magnification, Membership, Maturity, Ministry and Mission. The ‘5Ms’ are practical, actionable principles that should shape our daily lives. And by the end of the series, we hope everyone will feel empowered to live out these principles in fresh and meaningful ways.
Week 1, 26th of January: Magnification – Loving God with All Our Being
Week 2, 2nd of February: Membership & Ministry – Loving God by Loving People
Week 3, 9th of February: Mission – Being a Disciple
Week 4, 16th of February: Maturity – Growing in Christlikeness
Our hope is that, through this series, we can:
- cultivate a deeper love for God,
- engage more fully in serving and loving each other within the church,
- be bold in sharing the gospel and making disciples,
- and grow in Christlikeness, learning to live out everything He has commanded us to.
It’s easy to get distracted by the busyness of life, but God has something significant planned for each of us in the coming year. Let’s make 2025 a year where we focus on what matters most and step forward with purpose, passion, and obedience to God’s plan on our lives.
Join us on Sunday the 26th of January as we begin this exciting series together and as we lay the foundation for a new year!
