Radiant is Anchor City's women's ministry.

Women can easily find themselves entangled in a web of social and community expectations that are sometimes conflicting, often competing, and always overwhelming. In this parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, Jesus illustrates why the posture of pride that our society preaches is problematic. Jesus explains that only a heart of humility can accept his gift of righteousness and when we look to him for help, we are made radiant with joy.

1 Perter 4:1-19

How should we respond when we suffer for our faith? Peter exhorts us to keep doing good; living counter-cultural lives that evoke the curiosity of the world around us and following in the example of our Saviour Jesus.

1 Peter 2:13-3:7

God's People

The pressure on any minority is to fit in and thus lose their distinctiveness. Peter instructs these chose exiles not to conform but to be an alert, obedient, holy, and loving people fuelled by the Word of God.

How do we live as Christians in a world that is increasingly Christian? Do we fight? Do we flee? Peter offers us a difference way: the way of being elect exiles.

A showdown between gods. Can we have confidence in the work and love of God?

1 Kings 18 can answer that.

Jesus says that a compassionate response to need is what genuine love for neighbour looks like. On Compassion Sunday 2024 we will look at the famous parable of the good Samaritan.
