RHYTHMS OF GRACE

We are far more subject to being influenced than we often think. The environment we live in, what we read and watch, the relationships we engage in, where we go and what we do, are always shaping our desires, our beliefs, and our habits. The things we repeatedly do, again and again, begin to affect what we desire and long for. We are always being formed, whether we realize it or not. For followers of Jesus, God has given us rhythms of grace, spiritual habits that keep our hearts focused on him.

But how can we practice these rhythms when we are already busy and tired? Over the next few weeks, we will look at several different rhythms and how we find God’s grace in them. From prayer and fasting, to community and rest, we will look at these spiritual practices and how we can engage them with our whole hearts. And as we do, we hope to build ourselves up and set our sights once again on Jesus. We’d love for you to join us on Sundays as we explore Rhythms of Grace.
