Dear Friends,
In the course of the first Christian sermon ever preached the Apostle Peter quoted from the prophet Joel in the Old Testament “your young men will see visions; your old men will dream dreams” (Acts 2: 17).
All of us dream. Our dreams might be of the idle day dreaming variety – where we imagine ourselves living in an improved reality, with a better house perhaps or a better job.
The dreams of some of the greatest personalities in history had a powerfully creative strand in them. Robert Kennedy said “Some men see things as they and ask ‘Why?’ I dream of things that never were, and say ‘Why not?’”. Martin Luther King Jr. in his most famous speech offered his people a dream of a new unity between black and white.
A great deal of time and energy is being given at the moment by the leaders of our church family to thinking up, “dreaming” if you like, of new ways to reach others with the good news of the Gospel.
It is very easy to settle for things as they are or as they always have been, but the Biblical message is that people have been given the ability to dream of ways in which things might be better.
As we look to the future in our church family here may we dream “Kingdom of God” dreams, and may we know the joy of those dreams becoming reality.
Sincerely,
Alasdair F. Cameron
FROM THE MINISTER
