The Blessing Challenge
How is it going with the Blessing Challenge I set last week? I would love to hear what God is doing as you take on this rhythm. It always takes a bit of time to learn a new practice so I think it would be good to keep going with this challenge. Here is a reminder of what […]
Take Part in a Blessing Experiment
We’re going to keep going deeper with our first rhythm, generous blessing. This week I want us to try an experiment together that involves a challenge to declare and demonstrate blessing. Are you up for that? Good. First of all, picture the network of relationships you are part of: friends, family members, colleagues and neighbours. Try and think […]
Going Further with Generous Blessing
I wrote last week about our first rhythm: Generous Blessing. Generosity is a natural response to God’s goodness to us, and an effective way of spreading good news! What kind of difference could we make if we became known in our neighborhood as people who were characterised by compassion? How can we practice generous blessing as […]

The first Rhythm – Generously Bless
This term my emails are going to focus on practicing a rhythm of GRACE. This week I want to introduce our first rhythm – Generously Bless. “Through you all nations will be blessed” Genesis 22:18 We are called to reach outwards towards others and to see all peoples blessed! We seek to do this in practical and spiritual ways […]
It’s a rhythm of GRACE
Last week I wrote that as well as good principles we need to find practices that can help us grow in strength as disciples and missionaries called to follow Jesus and build community. We accept this idea in most areas of life. We wouldn’t ask an athlete to complete a marathon without many miles of training. We wouldn’t expect a musician […]
Introducing the Rhythms of Grace
Last term we spent a lot of time training. Kairos Community leaders gathered together to listen, talk and plan. Now is the time for us all to begin again to get on with the work God has called us to of loving God and building community. Some of you have a clear idea of the […]
One Another – the next two talks
In our Central Gatherings this term we are exploring some of the One Another statements from the New Testament and asking what we can learn from them as foundations for building community. Share Hospitality with One Another In this talk Andy Wilson and Liz Shores explore the idea of hospitality, of being welcomed by God […]
