Rhythms Of Grace
Rhythms of Grace: Eat 07/26/09
Genesis 1-2
Series: Rhythms Of Grace
Pastor: Steve Hart
This week we look at our third Rhythm, Eat, “We share meals with people outside our immediate family, offering welcome, friendship, and community.” Come listen as Steve shares how God intended for eating to be an act of dependence and worship and means to receive his grace and show his grace.
Rhythms of Grace: Listen 07/19/09
Genesis 2:1-3:17
Series: Rhythms Of Grace
Pastor: Steve Hart
This week we discuss our second rhythm, “We listen to God, rediscovering the gospel in Scripture and being led by God’s Spirit. And we listen well to people around us to hear gospel and needs.” We spend more time in Genesis this week as we look to the story of Adam and Eve and see how listening plays a key role in the relationship between humans and God.
Rhythms of Grace: Bless 07/12/09
Genesis 1-3
Series: Rhythms Of Grace
Pastor: Steve Hart
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!
