Dreaming with God: Pulling Tomorrow into Today

Dreaming with God: Pulling Tomorrow into Today

FOVERO is a care group that meets in Island ECC on Thursday evenings. This week, we will be studying Chapter 10 of Dreaming with God by Bill Johnson. This final chapter looks into how we have inherited heaven and how we are to bring heaven to earth.

Locations & Times

9F Kids Worship Hall, Island ECC

633 King's Rd, Tsat Tsz Mui, Hong Kong

Thursday 8:00 PM

FOVERO RUB Recruitment (7 August 2016)

Our next serving time as a care group to bless the church will be this coming Sunday. During that time, a few of our members will be out of action and so we need to rally some fresh blood into FOVERO RUB! With that, we are putting out an appeal for anyone interested to sign up. It's only 40 minutes starting from 11am on August 7, so we hope to be able to bless Island ECC during that time.

Gloson and Sheepies Boat Trip (20 August 2016)

Gloria and Wilson alongside Sheepie's CG are planning a boat trip on August 20! It will be a day of fun and sun and maybe some walking on water! Sign up in the FOVERO WhatsApp Group and, as Gloria has requested, we have to beat Sheepie

Spotlight Song: To Live is Christ

Lyric Highlight: If I rise, let me rise on You—not on all of my successes, my esteem, or my pursuits. Reflection: Our salvation is based on Christ's work alone: so it means that our ultimate victory and pride in life is to have Christ as the answer. Do you feel confident about yourself based on Christ's love for you or does your confidence come from your own personal achievements and victories?

Awakening (Hillsong United)
In our hearts Lord

For You and You alone
Awake my soul

For the world You love
Your will be done
Let Your will be done in me

In Your presence
In Your power
Awakening
For this moment
For this hour
Awakening

For You and You alone
Awake my soul
Awake my soul and sing
For the world You love
Your will be done
Let Your will be done in me

For You and You alone
Awake my soul
Awake my soul and sing
For the world You love
Your will be done
Let Your will be done in me

Like the rising sun that shines
From the darkness comes a light
I hear Your voice say
This is my awakening

Like the rising sun that shines
From the darkness comes a light
I hear Your voice say
This is my awakening

Like the rising sun that shines
Awake my soul
Awake my soul to sing
From the darkness comes a light
Awake my soul
Awake my soul to sing

Awake my soul
Awake my soul to sing
Only You can raise a life

To Live is Christ (Sidewalk Prophets)
If I rise, let me rise on You
Not on all of my successes
My esteem or my pursuits
If I lose, let me lose my life
'Cause if I belong to Jesus
The flesh is crucified

For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

If I grow, let me grow in You
Wilt the seeds of wanting more
Rippin' pride out by the roots
And if I'm still, let me hear You speak
Not the tone of my transgressions
But the song of the Redeemed

For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

My great desire is to be with You
But this is the place You chose for me
This is the place You chose for me
To lift my cross and give everything
This is the time You gave to me
This is the time You gave to me

For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
Study Overview:
Ch.9. Working with the Holy Spirit compels us to change the world
Ch.10. Only Christians have access to heaven and we are charged to bring it to earth
Our purpose as Christians is to bring heaven to earth
The promises of God are meant to make us dissatisfied with our world today
Dissatisfaction is meant to bring about a desperation to change the world around us
Loving the world as it is today disables us to make a difference
Faith disqualifies us from living mundane lives and demands we live out the impossible
Group Exercise:
1. Identify things about Hong Kong that leave you dissatisfied.
2. Share about how you feel things can be better in these areas.
3. Reflect on the areas that your group is dissatisfied about.

Personal Exercise (Due August 11, 2016):
Pray and dream with God about something you could do to make a difference in Hong Kong. Write that dream down and bring it to CG on August 4.

Do the recommended devotional below to help you get a better grasp of your place if you are drawing blanks.
