Cadence - Marching In Sync With God's Rhythm
Cadence - Marching in Sync With God's Rhythm Part 4, Marcus Avalos
Tired? Feeling behind? Running on empty? In our new series, Cadence, we’ll rediscover how to walk in sync with God through rest, intentional rhythms, and focused effort. From embracing Sabbath, to finding alignment in our values, relationships, and priorities, we’ll explore how steady practice shapes us, and how wisdom teaches us when to push forward and when to pull back. Whether your pace has been frantic or stalled, Cadence is an invitation to find your stride again—faithfully, purposefully, and in step with the Spirit.

Title: Rhythm of His Word” Marching in Sync with God’s Rhythms Gal. 5:25 – “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step (rhythm) with the Spirit.”
God’s Word is the BEAT that keeps our lives in SYNC.
“We drift out of sync when culture sets the rhythm.”
Culture creates noise. God’s Word creates rhythm.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” - Ps. 119:105
- The Lamp shines where our feet must tread (step by step)
- The Light steers us where the Spirit has led. (path)
Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart.
His Part - bears witness with your spirit that you are in alignment with His will. Your Part - Yield and take a step of faith RESULT: You’re on the RIGHT PATH
2 Timothy 3:16–17 All Scripture is God-breathed… useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness… so the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
GOD EQUIPS HIS SOLDIERS • When life tests you… the Word trains you. • When trials shake you… the Word steadies you. • When opportunities arise… the Word equips you.
Charles Spurgeon"A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t."
Corrie Ten Boom"When you open the Bible, God opens His mouth."
“ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED and is USEFUL for…” Teaching → shows us the Path (Ps. 32:8 - I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go…”)
Rebuking → shows us when we are Off-beat (Heb. 4:12 - it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”)
Correcting → gets us Back in Rhythm (Ps. 119:9 – “How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.”
Training → keeps us in a Steady rhythm for the long haul (1 Cor 9:24-27 - “Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training… I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave…)
👉 HIS WORD IS LIKE 4 PART HARMONY: • Teaching lights the path. • Rebuking exposes the drift. • Correcting restores the beat. • Training (in righteousness) sustains the tempo.
Galatians 5:25: “Let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
Direct challenge: “What’s setting your rhythm?”
What’s setting the rhythm of your life? • Culture? • Pressure? • Expectations of Others? • Fleshly Appetites? • Or God’s Word?
God’s Word is the Beat that keeps our lives in Sync.
Read it. Live it. Let it set the beat.
Imagine a generation staying on beat with God’s heartbeat.
AMANDA & JOCELYNN TRISTAN STORY
“Don’t let culture set your beat. Let Christ set your beat.” • Without Word = aimless. • With Word = guided, equipped, legacy.
YOUR FUTURE WILL BE BUILT ON SOMETHING.
WITHOUT HIS WORD, YOUR LIFE WILL DRIFT AIMLESSLY. WITH HIS WORD, YOU WILL LIVE VICTORIOUSLY.
“God’s Word is the BEAT that keeps our lives in SYNC.”
