Going Higher: Vision & Faith to Soar like Eagles

(sermon outline)


By Minister Juanita E.L. Cameron | Lighthouse Ministries International | Jan. 19, 2025


Series: GOING HIGHER & DEEPER IN JESUS


Subtitle: Vision and Faith to Soar like Eagles


Theme Scriptures: Isaiah 40:31 (NLT): "But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."


Colossians 3:1-3 (NIV): "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God."


Introduction

As we embrace our theme for 2025, Going Higher and Deeper in Jesus, we are called to rise above earthly limitations and align ourselves with God’s perfect will. Isaiah 40:31 promises that when we trust in the Lord, we will soar like eagles. But what does it mean to soar spiritually? Soaring is not about physical elevation but having a heavenly perspective while fulfilling earthly responsibilities.


Today, we will explore how to SOAR using an acronym to guide us:

  • S = Submitted to seeing God’s way above self.

  • O = Obedience to act on God’s Word.

  • A = Attitude determines altitude.

  • R = Reverence, respect, and responsibility.


In today’s message we will examine and glean from the approaches of four brothers Father Abraham, Evangelist Noah, Prime Minister Joseph, and Psalmist David; and use them and some modern day examples to incorporate in a vision mapping process to help us apply these truths practically.


Vision mapping is a practical and spiritual tool to align your life with God’s purpose. It often involves writing down key aspirations, identifying obstacles, and creating actionable plans. Click banner above to download WORKSHEET (USE COUPON code "SOAR2025" for 100% off).


Point 1: S - Submitted to Seeing God’s Way Above Self

Definition: Submission is yielding to God’s higher perspective and allowing Him to direct our vision.


Scripture References: Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV, Genesis 12:1-4 NKJV

Point 2: O - Obedience to Act Upon God’s Directions

Definition: Obedience is actively following God’s Word, even when it is inconvenient or challenging.


Scripture References: James 1:22 NIV, Genesis 6:13-22 NIV

Point 3: A - Attitude Determines Altitude

Definition: Your attitude reflects your mindset and determines how high you can rise. 


Scripture References: Philippians 2:5 NIV, Genesis 41:41-43 NIV

Point 4: R - Rise with Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility

Definition: To rise spiritually, we must honor God as the Creator and Sustainer (reverence), value and learn those who have gone before us (respect), and actively participate in God’s plans i.e. doing the work required to grow spiritually (responsibility). Rising involves growth through faith and intentional effort.


Scripture References: 1 Samuel 17:45-47 NIV


Conclusion

As we embark on this journey of going higher and deeper, remember that soaring requires submission, obedience, attitude, and reverence. God has a unique purpose for each of us, regardless of age or stage. Trust Him to guide your steps, strengthen your faith, and elevate you to new heights.


“The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever” (Psalm 138:8). Complete your vision map and dedicate it to God, knowing that He will help you soar in Jesus’ name.


Prayer of Encouragement (put in EasyWorship)

Heavenly Father, we thank You for calling us to soar higher and go deeper in You. Help us to submit to Your vision, obey Your Word, maintain a Christ-like attitude, and revere You in all we do. Align our lives with Your perfect will, and may we rise on wings like eagles to fulfill our purpose for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
