Soul Training 0 – Exploring Your Dream

“This Is Church” – Introduction
(Acts 2:43-47)

Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. – Acts 2:43-47

When you are beginning on a journey it’s usually a good idea to know where you’re headed.  There may be detours along the way and you might end up in a different place than you thought you would at the beginning, but having a goal is essential.  Otherwise you might as well not get up from the couch.

We are on a journey together here at Grace toward God and His Kingdom.  What does that look like?  What does that mean to you?  How should we invest our time and other resources that God has given us?

Let’s dream together.  This week’s soul training exercise is to spend time dreaming what the ideal local church would be.  The dream that you would like to see come true for Grace.  Then write an essay describing that dream.  It can be as short as a sentence or as long as you would like to make it.  And then please just add it as a comment to this thread.  I want it to become a reminder and a guide about where we’re headed.

I am excited to be on this journey with you and I can’t wait to hear your dreams.

      Well, I’m really curious myself. I’m going to be posting the homework for ALL of the sermons and I’m curious to see what folks have to say.
