What are we waiting for? And what are we going to do about it in the meantime? What is the “blessed hope” for a Christian?  What is “heaven” all about, and is our hope simply a matter of “going to heaven when we die”?  Or is there something more than some of us have been taught in most churches?

Surprised by Hope

We begin a new series where we dig deep into “Surprised by Hope” by N.T. Wright.  “Surprised by Hope” is a great resource, and I would highly encourage you to pick up the book as we study it.
