OUR SUBSTITUTE WHAT HE DID, HE DID FOR US (Isaiah 53:4-6) HE TOOK OUR PAIN 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. HE TOOK OUR PUNISHMENT 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. HE TOOK OUR PLACE 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 4837 North Dixie Highway Deerfield Beach, FL 33064 954-708-2195 ofc 954-708-2196 fax www.radliving.org
the RADICAL - April edition (the Stage Play) Since the beginning of time we have been taught that there is No Greater Love than the love God has for mankind; AGAPE Love. What if AGAPE Love had to defend itself? What would it look like if the reigning greatest love of all is actually put on trial to protect its position? In this dramatization, Prosecutor Lucille Siffer goes all out to prove that AGAPE Love is not the greatest love of all. She has gathered together an all-star group of witnesses to help her prove her case (EROS Love, PHILEO Love, and STORGE Love) who each feel they have every right to the title of the greatest love of all.

the RADICAL - April edition Page 3 The annual SPRING TEA is a kick off for our annual Women s Conference. The Spring Tea serves as a fundraiser for the Women s Ministries Department. This annual event has an attendance of approximately 300 women dressed in their Spring dresses and hats. The Tea is a time of Fellowship, Style, and Grace, as the tables are beautifully decorated and ladies sit for tea and refreshments. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite family and friends to experience the joy of Christian fellowship. Our theme this year is One Under The Blood. Even though the shades of our skin may be different and our cultural backgrounds diverse, we can be one because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The annual MOTHER/DAUGHTER BRUNCH is a time when we come together to recognize, appreciate and celebrate our mothers and other women God has placed in our lives. Our theme this year is Follow Your Yellow Brick Road. Though the road to Heaven that we are traveling on may not be made up of yellow bricks, we are all on a journey to get home! And, like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, we don't know all the twists and turns we ll face while traveling on this road, the many different places the road will lead us through, or all the lives that we will touch along the way; but the Word of God tells us with our feet (shod) with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace ; we have what we need to advance into the enemy s territory and share the peace that the Gospel of Jesus Christ gives us against our enemies. Mother of the Year 2015 nominations DUE April 12. The annual WOMEN S CONFERENCE join us as we celebrate our 10TH ENCOUNTER. I believe the Lord has something rich in store for us as we celebrate the fact that we are Bonded By The Blood. Christ died on the cross as a sacrifice for us. He died to take the punishment for our sins. His blood is enough to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and secure our salvation. We are united because of His blood. Mark your calendars now for this life changing ENCOUNTER.
