Something down here is bad, so you need something up there to address it.

Dr. Tony Evans says that's why developing a kingdom perspective is so essential.

Kingdom Vision is when God lets you see a need that He wants you to be part of meeting

even though you don't know how it's going to get done yet.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans.

Author, speaker, senior pastor of Oakcliffe Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas

and president of the Urban Alternative.

In many ways today, our culture is clearly in chaos, but focusing on the problem isn't the answer.

Let's join Dr. Evans as he helps us understand why successfully navigating earthly issues requires a heavenly vision.

Vision is the ability to look beyond what you can see.

What you see is what you see. Your physical eyes can grasp a lot in the physical realm.

But if that is your only sight line, you have limited vision.

Mountains in the Bible are regularly used of kingdoms.

Kingdoms are called mountains in the Bible.

What I'm trying to instill to a deeper level in me and in us is what I call Kingdom Vision.

The ability to see beyond or look beyond what you can see.

I mean, we ask young people this all the time when they graduate from high school,

what do we ask them? What do you want to be when you grow up?

What do you see out there in your future?

And they will talk about the goals that they have for their careers.

We're asking them to look further than the reality that they're in now to have a dream for the future.

What God is asking is people to have a dream for the future, but that involves His Kingdom.
