The Chaos Project: Week Two - Loving Others by Deeds

How well do you know your neighbours? It is all too easy to live next door to someone for years without really getting to know them. Invite your neighbours around for a coffee or meal.

The Chaos Project: Week Two - Loving Others in Words

Make an effort to say hello to someone you see regularly but don't talk to. Be open to God prompting you to take the conversation further. Maybe this person is just aching for someone to come alongside them.

The Chaos Project: Week Two - Loving Others Through Prayer

Spend some time with God reflecting on how you became a Christian. Think especially about the people involved. What was it about them that helped you? What did they say or do that brought you one more step on the journey of faith? Try and find a way of letting them know how God used them to help you!

The Chaos Project: Week One - Loving Others by Deeds

Practise undercover love - try and do a good deed each day in such a way that no one else will know it was you! (Mt. 6:1-4)

The Chaos Project: Week One - Loving Others in Words

As Christians, all that we do is worship - not just singing songs. Try and set one day aside to focus on seeing your speech as worship. Try and see your conversations with others as worship - at work/school, home and with your friends. Chose you words carefully, trying to speak in such a way as to please God. (Psalm 19:14)

The Chaos Project: Week One - Loving Others through Prayer

Ask someone at church who is involved in serving the community how you can pray for them in this activity over the coming week. Try and pray for them everyday. At the end of the week, go back and ask how they've got on. (Eccles. 4:12)

What is the Chaos Project?

Chaos Theory suggests that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can set off a chain of unpredictable events leading to a tornado in Texas! The same can be equally true of our lives – small things that we do can have a large effect on others, hence The Chaos Project

At church each week a list of suggested activities will be handed out for individuals or groups to sign up to, committing themselves to trying that activity out during the week. The following Sunday there will be an opportunity for feedback. The activities will be invitations to love those around us through prayer, words or actions. Through doing these we pray that God will soften our hearts towards others and give us opportunities to share Christ's love.
