Unforced Rhythms of Grace #17 “The Rhythm of Simplicity"

In this teaching we look at Jesus' rhythm of simplicity. Outward simplicity is the fruit of a trusting heart that relies on God to provide so that we can live in freedom and without anxiety. This message includes practical ideas from Amy Wadlow and Linda Burchett on how we can outwardly simplify our lives as a way of helping our hearts learn to trust God more and for us to love money and possessions less.

Unforced Rhythms of Grace #16 - "Rhythms, Ritual and Holidays"

In this teaching we look at Jesus' rhythm of observing the festivals and feasts set up by God in the Old Testament. If we want to invite more of God's peace that destroys the chaos of this life - doing our part in living healthy rhythms sends the "invite" to Him. This teaching summarizes the Jewish feasts and their fulfillment in Jesus while challenging us to examine our own "holiday" rituals and their meaning.

Unforced Rhythms of Grace #14: "Freedom and Rhythms”

Philippians 2:5-8; Galatians 5:13-14; 1 Cor. 6:19-20

Pastor Andrew challenges us to examine our view of freedom in light of boundaries and limits. It seems that resisting limits have puts us in a place where we are acting like we have God's powers, instead of living this human life wisely. The concept of a "rule of life" is introduced to us as a set of habits that we decide to follow to help us love others well. The one application today is considering rhythms around our sleep and honoring our bodies' needs and understanding the tie in to spiritual benefit with physical boundaries.

Matthew 6 Fasting has been a spiritual discipline practiced by God’s leaders and people for centuries. The primary purpose of fasting is to humble ourselves before Him, but it also greatly enhances our spiritual hunger and sensitivity. In this message we look at the reasons we fast as Christians. It also is an encouragement to us as we are celebrating the Lenten season.

Unforced Rhythms of Grace #9: "The Posture of Obscurity”

Obscurity is the place where our true identity as the "beloved of God" is seared deep into our soul. We live in a celebrity culture, and obscurity is not valued. Jesus values and models obscurity for us in slowing, silence, solitude and sabbath. This teaching will challenge you to process pain with Jesus and a few supportive friends first, instead of seeking the world's comfort from your Facebook friends.
