We posed a question to our peeps on Twitter Wednesday and your responses have been wonderful!
We asked…
What's your dream for the church?
Here’s what you had to say…
@theresaseeber:
@sbpodcast To stop tearing each other down
@tmamone:
@sbpodcast That we actually live like we are parts of One Body instead of different islands at war with each other.
@Stelly68:
@sbpodcast to be Jesus in every community and not just do Jesus.
@Phoce:
@sbpodcast that it becomes less about which building you go to and more about how you live your life.
@headphonaught:
@sbpodcast to realise we are it rather than it is a place we go to.
@headphonaught:
@sbpodcast to realise God loves everyone… not just the church. And Jesus is everyone’s… not just the church’s. Tx
@caldjr:
@sbpodcast that we focus less on religion on more on Christ. #dream4church
@robgt2:
@sbpodcast to stop doing church like an organisation and do it as an organism.
@RobWP:
@sbpodcast That we are the hands and feet of Jesus, serving the world and showing it the light of God.
@Chris_Hoskins:
@sbpodcast Honesty, to ourselves about who/ what we are and to the world
@Rev_Gene:
@sbpodcast A dream 4 the Church. That it will truly live the radical hospitality that it claims 2 have! #transform #outlawpreachers
@edaross:
@sbpodcast A place where trust is never broken and friends really are friends for life.
@wcs53:
@sbpodcast My dream is ‘no walls’
And from Facebook…
Paul Partridge: basically to show God’s love
I so hope we’ll all fight to see these dreams come true.
May we be known as a people excited and working towards the church we wish to see (as Tripp Fuller mentions in his interview) rather than a people bent on angst and ignoring the very thing we love so much.
We’ll try and keep posting updates as they come in – or you can post your thoughts in the comments below.
i am part of a simplechurch that owns nothing but rather gives everything away every month…we raggedly but intently love God, love persons, and grow Christfollowers
