Confession of Faith: Apostles' Creed
Text: Acts 2:16~21
Key Verse: “In the last days, says God, I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your children will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams” (Acts 2:17).
Word: To a young man who was going to marry his daughter, the father-in-law asked, “If I gave my daughter a large dowry, what would you give me in return?” The young man answered without hesitation. “It’s a receipt.”
God has given us the family and children as the greatest gift of blessing. And God asks us, “What will you give me?” What would you like to offer?
Sweat, tears, hard work and dedication Everything is precious, but the most important thing is ‘dream’.
"If you want to build a ship, don't do things like calling people to fetch timber and directing and distributing work." Instead, cultivate their longing for that vast and endless sea.” I need a dream. Above all, we must have the healing and restoration of our dreams in our homes.
The Bible says:
“In the last days, says God, I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your children shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams” (Acts 2:17).
The Bible contains beautiful stories of people who had dreams and made their dreams come true. Faith is the story of the restoration of dreams and revival. What our homes need is a dream. It is a dream of heaven that goes beyond our dreams. What is our family dream? The dream the Bible gives is not a dream to fill our stomach, but a dream to God and the world.
What is the dream of our family now, and what are the wrestlings to make it come true?
It is written in the Bible that “faith is the substance of things hoped for”. There is something to be achieved when something is desired. What is the dream of our family now? What we have to wrestle with has to be more than receipts. What we must wrestle with is the realization and fulfillment of God's dream for us. Be God's dream. Make your home the dream ground of God.
Prayer: Lord, make my home the ground of your dreams. I pray in Jesus name. Amen
