Envisioning a Neighborhood in the Kingdom of God

Welcome to Pastor Peter's blog. It is a new means of communication for the First Presbyterian Church of Perth Amboy. There is a lot going on and more coming. This is a year of exciting transition and growth in our church.

What was the best neighborhood you were ever a part of? It could be a place you lived, a place you visited, some place you read about, saw in the movies or on television, a place you can picture in your mind's eye that you would like to live in. In a world of sin and evil, where every line of 'safety' seems to get broken, what would it be to create this best neighborhood where all that is safe, loving, and gracious in the person and ministry of Jesus Christ could be practiced?

What if we took what Jesus said in Luke 17, that the Kingdom of God is among us, what if we took that seriously as the foundation for building our church? What if we scoped out the Kingdom of God and we chose to build a neighborhood in that Kingdom where we can pursue WWJD, What Would Jesus Do? What if we started a process now that will come to fulfillment at the Second Coming?

This blog is going to be a place where we can pursue that together. It is a place for feedback, a place where questions can be tackled, a place where Next Steps can be put into play.

If you have discovered us by accident, our website is www.fpcperthamboy.org. I invite you to come worship with us, 10am on Sunday morning.
