God's Dreams and Ours

What dreams do we have for our life? Are they God’s dreams or our dreams? Both? Sometimes, we protect God from our own dreams, wondering if we gave into his ways and will if he would squelch our true desires. Other times, we give up on dreams understanding the call to discipleship to mean that dreams are for yesteryear. There is another way. Throughout the scriptures, God hints at what his true dream is and ways humans can partner with God with their own longings. This involves knowing God’s heart, learning to wait, expecting opposition, and pairing our dreams with a call to obedience. Come bring your dreams, yourselves, and interested friends to kick off our new series this Sunday.

God’s dream is to be home with humanity. That dream involves our own flourishing - for us and for others around us. If we’re learning to live within God’s bigger dream and not chase our own idols, then shouldn’t this dreaming thing be a bit easier? Well, our dreams don’t just get sidetracked because of our waywardness and tendency to perform rather than waiting for God's directing and equipping presence. These good dreams, promises and longings from God, are also opposed. Sometimes, they are opposed by the one who is called the enemy and the accuser. Other times, God’s promises are opposed by other people. Either way, we need perseverance to keep dreaming and to keep dwelling with God. Come Sunday to be encouraged to dream past and beyond opposition.
