A New Rhythm

A brand new beatitudes resource that every Lifebringer can use!

A New Rhythm is a set of twelve beautifully-designed and content-rich postcards exploring the beatitudes of Matthew 5. In a world of division, fear, and burnout, they sound a new rhythm - a welcome, not a weapon, tender, not toxic:

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness' sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
_{Matthew 5:3-12 (NIV)}

‍

Journeying through the beatitudes, A New Rhythm explores the way of trust, lament, humility, justice, compassion, right motive, peace-making, surrender, and radical love. They can be easily shared, collected, or used for starting faith conversations.

In a world hungry for meaning and desperate for healing, the beatitudes ring out with surprising power.

These words of Jesus serve as an introduction, or re-introduction, of how transformational the gospel really is in our communities, and in the world at large.

Lifebringers aren’t only about sharing the Bible with others, they are also committed to journeying deeper into what a faith adventure is all about. So we have linked A New Rhythm to our individual and group discussion/study guide, The Ninefold Path.

‍

The Ninefold Path notebook is a practice-based journey through the beatitudes, developed by Mark Scandrette with Danielle Welch as part of NINE BEATS, a project conceived by Steve Bassett, our Creative Director.

Piloted in church, recovery, and at-risk contexts in USA, UK and Australia, it has also been utilised in churches in South Asia and East Africa. It is a great resource for Lifebringers to tap into.

You can visit ninefoldpath.org to access more content, and and to get resources to use over a nine-week series.

The Ninefold Path connects to the most important parts of our lives - daring us to join in God’s activity in the world and to experience the flourishing that can happen in our relationships, in our lives and for others.
