This last Monday was family day. My wife, daughter and I went the San Diego Zoo. We had a great day traipsing around checking out all the animals, riding the long escalators, and just hanging out together. One of the last things we did before we left was take a ride on the sky buckets. It’s pretty sweet. You get an amazing view not only of the zoo but of San Diego’s cityscape and the ornate buildings of Balboa Park. My wife made a comment about how great San Diego is and how much we love it and how much cool stuff there is here with all the beaches and parks and the zoo and the wonderful museums that we have. I responded to her this way, “Yeah, I love San Diego, but the Balboa Park museums make me sad.” She was confused and asked me why. 
This is a vision sermon for The Resolved Church in 2010 titled, “Resolved to Grow and Build in Love – Part IV: Continuing to Be Changed by the Gospel” which surveys how God has worked in our church in the last year and then takes an exegetical look at Ephesians 4:17-32 as the vision for our continued growth in the gospel in this next year. This sermon was originally preached by Pastor Duane Smets on January 17th, 2010 at The Resolved Church in San Diego, CA.
