Life Teen Sunday:
This Sunday at Life Teen we are continuing our deep dive into the Beatitudes! The goal of the night is to help teens to understand that following the Beatitudes of thirsting for righteousness and having purity of heart helps develop a social conscience that seeks to dispel the mistreatment of others.
Key Concepts from the Lesson:
Purity of heart allows us to see all people as made in the image and likeness of God, and a thirst for righteousness compels us to create a society based on this truth
Throughout His ministry, Jesus provided countless examples of radical encounters with people who were disregarded and outcast, showing the same love and compassion to all, regardless of their social standing
When we live the Beatitudes of purity of heart and the thirst for righteousness, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, reminding everyone we meet of their inherent dignity and worth, creating a more just society.
