"Seeing Beyond The Limits” | Rev. Lavetta Pope
Seeing Beyond the Limits" reminds us that God's vision for our lives stretches far beyond what we can measure. Through Zechariah 2, Pastor Lavetta Pope challenges us to stop defining our lives by limitations and start making room for God's expansion, protection, and glory.
“Seeing Beyond the Limits” explores how God redefines boundaries not to restrict us, but to expand us. Preaching from Zechariah 2:1–5, Pastor Lavetta Pope reveals how God calls us to put down our measuring tools and trust Him to build beyond what we can see. Through the Perception of Possibilities, the Promise of Protection, and the Vision of Hope, this message challenges us to stop limiting God's work in our lives.
Just like Jerusalem, God desires to make our lives places of limitless expansion, surrounded by His fire and filled with His glory. We are invited to stop merely surviving and start thriving in His presence. When we surrender our vision for His, we find a God who is not only our builder but our protector and indweller.
