- Series: Rhythms Of Grace
We’ve spent the last several weeks discussing and learning more about our identity (Family, Missionary, Servant and Learner) in relation to what Christ has done for us. Over the rest of the summer, we’ll be exploring what it looks like to live out this new Identity as a regular, repeated pattern of behavior. Because Christianity is the good news and calls un into a new way of being human together we’ll be exploring 5 practices - what we call “Rhythms” - that help to translate our new Identity into a way of doing everyday life with gospel intentionality. The rhythms are not something that happens on Sunday, but rather something that can only happen in the mundane of everyday life. Come listen as Steve leads us in discussion of our first Gospel Rhythm, “Bless.” The simple conviction that everything God has given us - physically and spiritually - is given as a gift for us to humbly steward. By faith in Jesus Christ, we are blessed to be a blessing! The Rhythm of Bless is our way of living in this grace and extending it to others. As we are more amazed and humbled by what God has done for us, we are increasingly freed to use all that he has given us in order to bless, honor, and serve others. We use our words, our time, our resources and gifts to build others up. We no longer need to hoard these resources, but joyfully live as a people who are truly blessed to be a blessing!
