FEBRUARY'S MONTHLY OFFER
What does genuine Christian living look like in the 21st century, and how can we be motivated to live that way? The answer comes from Jesus’ sermon in Luke 6 which starts, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God," and goes on to lay out God’s vision statement for the Christian life. It is a manifesto that transcends politics, culture and personality, detailing God’s intentions for his people.
