God’s Big Picture: New Creation and the Church | N.T. Wright

In this powerful opening session, N.T. Wright unpacks the breathtaking vision of Ephesians 1–3.

God’s plan has never been about escaping earth to go to heaven. Instead, as Paul writes in Ephesians 1:10, God’s purpose is “to sum up all things in Christ—things in heaven and things on earth.”

In this teaching, Wright explores:
• Heaven and earth coming together in Jesus
• The church as God’s “small working model” of new creation
• The temple theme running through Ephesians
• The multi-ethnic family of God in Ephesians 2
• How the church demonstrates God’s wisdom to the powers (Ephesians 3:10)

This session reframes salvation not as evacuation, but as participation in God’s renewal of the world.
