Publisher's Synopsis
Do you look at the Beatitudes as a list of different kinds of Christians with different strengths? Many people do. Yet in this scripture, Jesus actually paints a consistent portrait of citizens of the Kingdom who are: utterly dependent on God repentant humble driven by the desire for righteousness merciful pure in motives and intent actively seeking peace and justice Discover why those who live as described in the Beatitudes are likely to find themselves both at odds with, and misunderstood by cultures built on radically different assumptions. Learn why, though we are blessed to be members of a different kingdom, we will still face difficulties for the sake of righteousness.The Dialog series offers topical and biblical small group studies that generate meaningful conversation. Each 7-week study explores a subject significant to the church and to the story of God. Dialog creates community. So let's talk.
