Experience the reality of Bible events like never before and live through the inspiring lives of key characters in Scripture. Learn how to apply God's Word to your life as you explore seven compelling sessions and gain a new depth in your Bible knowledge.

Look afresh at the Beatitudes and explore Jesus' unconditional grace

The eight Beatitudes, or blessings, are not just an introduction to Jesus' groundbreaking Sermon on the Mount. They are among His best known but perhaps least understood words. Jesus speaks to the needy, the sad, the powerless, the cheated, the carers, the purists, the blamed, and indeed to all of us. His words remain as relevant today as when they were first given.

Through these challenging seven sessions:

Gain a fresh perspective of the eight Beatitiudes

Discover their relevance in our contemporary world

Deepen your understanding of the overwhelming grace of Jesus

Icebreakers, Bible readings, eye openers, discussion starters, personal application make this a rich resource for group or individual study.
