Surprised by Hope


“Jesus's resurrection is the beginning of God's new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lord's Prayer is about.” N.T Wright

This group will complete N.T. Wright’s 6-week course on the content from his book ‘Surprised by Hope’ - exploring heaven, the resurrection and the mission of the church. What does the bible say about some of our commonly held understandings of heaven and what influence will this have on the way that we live today?

The transformative sessions include:

  1. Hope for the World

  2. The Hope of the Resurrection

  3. The Hope of Heaven

  4. The Hope of Jesus’ Second Coming

  5. The Hope of Salvation

  6. The Hope of the Church

The participant guide (associated with the video content used) can be purchased from book depository or amazon.

Weekly, Thursdays 7:30pm - 9:15pm, Stanmore Bay
