Summaries

Summary Sentence: A study of N.T. Wright's book Surprised by Hope.

Full Summary:

A study of N.T. Wright's book Surprised by Hope.

The study will continue every Monday March 2 - April 13.

“Many Christians believe our future in heaven is all that really matters. But that's not what the Bible teaches. N. T. Wright brings you inside the Scriptures to grasp the full, breathtaking hope Jesus offers the world, and its implications for your life today. Gain an exciting new vision for your life on earth in light of your future in heaven. Wonderful as is the promise of heaven, a glorious hereafter is just part of what salvation is about. What about today? Jesus called his followers the salt of the earth and the light of the world. N. T. Wright opens your eyes to the amazing full scope of what God's Word has to say about the world to come and the world that is. Explore such questions as What is heaven really like? Is our main duty as Christians simply to help non-Christians get there? What hope does the gospel hold for this present life? In what ways does God intend for us to experience that hope personally and spread its healing power to the world around us? Surprised by Hope provides a clearer vision both of the future and of God's kingdom at hand today.”
