What is God's dream for your neighbourhood?

The dream involves you!

It's not really that scary.

Your first Church is your family.

Yes, love those neighbours!

Yes you can...

You can learn to love your neighbourhood the way that Jesus loves it.

Everyday we wake up into something that's already going on.

 

Romans 12:1-2 MSG

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. 

Why not try walking your neighborhood?

Strike up a conversation. Meet some people.

When I was young, I set out to change the world. When I grew older, I perceived that this was too ambitious so I set out to change my state. This, too, I realized as I grew older was too ambitious, so I set out to change my town. When I realized I could not even do this, I tried to change my family. Now as an old man, I know that I should have started by changing myself. If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded in changing my family, the town, or even the state—and who knows, maybe even the world! (older Hasidic rabbi)
