Pastor Bert uses Fatbear Week as an analogy to explore Proverbs 29:18, "Where there is no vision, the people perish," emphasizing how vision provides essential direction in uncertain times. He contrasts the church's founding in 1875 with today's challenges, urging the congregation to follow Jesus as their true North Star rather than false visions, and concludes by inviting members to reflect on their memories, current ministries, hopes, and God's vision for Sterling United Methodist Church.
