Acts 2:25-47
The Seven Rhythms is based on Acts 2: 42-47
42 They continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread (DAILY DEVOTION) and in the prayers (PRAYER). 43 Fear came to every soul. And many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 All who believed were together and had all things in common (COMMUNITY). 45 They sold their property and goods and distributed them to all, according to their need (SACRIFICIAL GENEROSITY). 46 And continuing daily with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart (SHARING), 47 praising God (WORSHIP) and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved (REPENTANCE).
Acts 2:47: WORSHIP

25 For David says concerning Him: 'I foresaw the Lord always before me, for He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken. 26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh will dwell in hope. 27 For You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. 28 You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy with Your presence.'
