Enjoy!

Last week we laid the foundation and discussed what Rhythm means in our lives. This week we are looking at the Model of Rhythm in the life of Jesus… the perfect example, the way, the truth, and the life for each of us. This is one of the most important topics we share and a game changer for so many! Steve will then lead us in a reflection on I Corinthians 2:12-13 and I Corinthians 7:5-6.

I Corinthians 2:12-13 | Reflection from The Message by Eugene Peterson

Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and found that the Lord had opened a door for me, I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.

I Corinthians 7:5-6 | Reflection from the NIV Version

For when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn—conflicts on the outside, fears within. But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus.
