The Rhythms of Life as a member of God's church

Here are the rhythms of life pursued by The Edge Network of churches in the UK that I've found helpful:

Each week we respond to the identity that God gives to us in his grace by trying to B. L. E. S. S. others through what we do.

B. We bless
Each week we aspire to bless others in our Christian community and local neighbourhood in word, action or gift at least three times.

L. We listen
Each week we aspire to listen to God, looking for him to guide us through his word and Spirit. And we listen to people around us to understand their stories and the story of our culture.

E. We eat
Each week we aspire to eat or have a drink with people outside our immediate family at least three times, offering friendship and community.

S. We speak
Each week we aspire to tell people the story of Jesus and our story of Jesus, making Jesus a normal part of our conversations. And we speak to God through prayer, recognising our dependence on him in all things.

S. We sabbath
Each week we aspire to spend time in rest, praise, play, partying and creativity.

Here are the rhythms of the churches of Soma Communities in Tacoma, Washington:

Story-Formed
We understand, experience and intersect with God's Story and other's.

Listen
We set aside regular times to listen to God both backward and forward.

Celebrate
We gather together to celebrate God's extravagant blessings.

Bless
We intentionally bless others through words, gifts or actions.

Eat
We regularly eat meals with others to invite them into the community of God.

ReCreate
We take time to rest, play, create and restore beauty in ways that reflect God to others.

Who are we as a church? This is the answer of some of the churches in The Crowded House Network

Tim Chester's network of churches say:

The first thing to say about us is not what we do, but who we are because of what God has done for us through his Son and by his Spirit.

1. The family of God
Because God is our Father, we are the family of God. Our heavenly Father graciously accepts us and cares for us. We are united as brothers and sisters.

2. The light of God
Because Jesus is our Prophet, we are the light of God. God has illuminated us through Jesus and we witness to his liberating truth through our words and actions.

3. The heirs of God
Because Jesus is our Saviour, we are the heirs of God. Jesus has set us free from the condemnation our rebellion deserves through his death in our place. We have received the promise of a glorious inheritance, making us like refugees in this age.

4. The servants of God
Because Jesus is our King, we are the servants of God. We follow Christ’s example of sacrificial love, finding freedom and joy in serving God and others.

5. The temple of God
Because the Holy Spirit is God’s empowering presence, we are the temple of God. We are saints, people set apart for God, and the home in which God lives.
