Word lyfe
Introduction
This session invites to increase our engagement with the Scriptures.
Discovering ways to share and be the Good News of Jesus Christ
The Word lyfe zone focuses on three areas – being immersed in the Word of God, sharing faith and getting to know Jesus better. God’s great message to humanity is that all can be redeemed and restored to its intended design. This is the message embodied in Jesus himself, rooted in the Word of God, and ultimately expressed through the lives of those who follow Christ. It is a living tale of grace spoken in and through word and action.
‘We cannot preach the good news and be the bad news. So, making the necessary cultural adjustments, we step into the life of the Gospels and do what they did and live as they lived.’
