Vision for Renewal: Renewal Lesson 1 Steven L. Childers


A vision for renewal includes seeing the renewal of individuals and churches as a means of seeing the renewal of our communities and nations through gospel renewal movements.

God means for healthy followers of Jesus and healthy churches to be compelling signs of his kingdom to come when Jesus returns, and effective instruments through which his kingdom comes on earth today in both word and deed.

This is why individual renewal must always include and lead to church renewal. And church renewal must always include and lead to the renewal of communities and eventually the discipling of all “nations.” (Matt 28:19)

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to have a biblical vision for renewal by being equipped to:

  • Understand how renewal extends to all things affected by the Fall

  • Describe renewal as the restoration of creation for flourishing

  • Articulate how the vision of renewal affects three major areas

  • Explain personal renewal as both regenerative and transformative

  • Express various ways of restoration in church renewal

  • Grasp the need for community renewal through the gospel
