let me share with you six rhythms okay toddlers this time on some let me give you six rhythms that we've been using in community and that when you once you see these it's like it opens up your whole world you go like okay I'm already living in these rhythms and now I can move from additional to intentional I can bring a gospel intentionality to them and sort of join the dance as it were with God in the way he's create the universe let's look at these rhythms let's throw them up first one is know the story okay we all have a story is our story a part of God's story or do we actually are we believing a different story that's been told to us by maybe our parents our boss people growing up the culture do we know God's story as a story we need to if we're going to be living as disciples who make disciples we need to know God's story we need to get to know each other's story deeply enough to apply the gospel in absolutely area of life and that leads us to another rhythm of listening we're always listening to someone but are we listening to God we say it this way we need to listen backwards through the Word of God who is God how has he always been and we need to listen forward through the Holy Spirit like my prayer times are mostly filled up with me telling God what to do and then I shoot off into my day but to cultivate a rhythm of listening to God and in community that's how you get to know people's stories by the way next rhythm celebrate life is living in a rhythm of celebration think about all the holidays that are just coming around and birthdays everybody you know has one right and and anniversaries and graduations and all we need to join those celebrations and be the bringers of the better wine as it were like Jesus was there they're going on it's low-hanging fruit join that rhythm throw the best parties the church we should be the most celebratory people on the planet we get to live forever hey awesome like like party people in your city should go I don't know if I believe what they believe but what do they party uh yeah I'm in right next one bless always part of God's I'm sorry skipped one eat rhythm of eating oh my gosh talk about moving from additional to intentional we're already eating like 21 times a week way more for me I'm kind of hyper inside a lot but think about it if you just started thinking what if I was to have three meals a week with people that I'm trying to make disciples of not yet believers believers just I'm eating them anyway let's just let's just intentional eyes that eating God's always food throughout all Scripture then this rhythm of bless and we say this way in committee ask the Spirit to reveal to you three people that you could bless intentionally each week through their words action or gift imagine a community of people in a neighborhood like ten or twelve all blessing three people a week you think that neighborhood would notice oh man he'll transform he'll transform a place and this last rhythm is recreate it's this idea of rest in Christ's completed work and then out of that we create beauty and we work and we create value resting at what Christ has done for us not to earn but then we work it's the idea of Sabbath you
