contemporaneous notes

God’s Dream for Us

-         Mystery Box –
o   dream catcher (put there by Erica)

-         What is a dream catcher for?
o   catch nightmares
o   doesn’t really work

-         We have an amazing God
-         God wants us to be like the dream catchers
-         but God wants us to catch His dreams for us
-          
-         God is all the things we just sang about in the song, “Indescribable”…

-         God had us all in mind when He created
-         God had a purpose for each one of us
o   God’s dream for all of us
-          
-         We can be God’s dream catcher
-         we can grow in grace, in the Word
-          
-         We start to see God’s purpose
o   God’s dream for us
-         We start to live out God’s plan

-         Be the dream catcher for God
-         God’s peace, joy, is perfect

-         Remember:
1.     You are a child of God
2.     God doesn’t make junk
3.     God has a purpose for you
4.     You are of Sacred Worth

Prayer – Lord, help us to catch that dream You have for us.
