Seeing the Big Picture Clint Davison
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class began with a brief prayer report and a reminder of the church’s commitment to corporate intercession. Clint Davison then shifted focus to the theme of the year: seeing the big picture. He highlighted the cultural obsession with busyness and the biblical warning that we can become so entangled in daily tasks that we miss the overarching mission God has given us. Using Paul’s farewell address in Acts 20 as a case study, Davison illustrated how Paul maintained humility, endured hardship, and remained compelled to spread the gospel despite uncertainty and opposition. He connected Paul’s steadfastness to the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18‑20, emphasizing that the call to go is not optional but intrinsic to every believer’s life. The teacher urged the class to embody the gospel in personal spheres—schools, workplaces, and relationships—so that others see a genuine, lived faith. The message concluded with an invitation to adopt Paul’s attitude, prioritize God’s purpose, and continue praying for one another as the church moves forward.
