The Manifold Wisdom of God: a talk by Jeremy Bray

What is the church really meant to be?

Jeremy opens our series on The Church by lifting our eyes to God’s big picture. The Bible is honest about the church’s weaknesses, yet it also paints a breathtaking vision of beauty, hope, and purpose. This talk explores how the church, ordinary people like us, is central to God’s plan to restore all things.

Drawing from Ephesians 3, Jeremy reminds us that the church is not just a gathering or a building, but God’s chosen way of displaying His wisdom, love, and power to the world and even to the unseen spiritual realm. Through Scripture, story, and reflection, we are invited to rediscover our calling as a community of hope, healing, and restoration.

In this message you’ll hear about:
• God’s plan to restore all things through Jesus
• The church as the body of Christ, flawed yet deeply loved
• Our calling to display God’s wisdom in everyday life
• Hope, healing, unity, and living with a soft heart
• Why the local church truly matters

This talk sets the foundation for the series, helping us reimagine the church as God sees it and encouraging each of us to play our part.
