Faith Facts
- N.T. Wright, noted New Testament scholar, will lead a three-day conference at Park Cities Baptist Church focused on the book of Philippians.
- Senior Pastor Jeff Warren credits Wright for shaping his understanding of the Kingdom of God and the Church’s purpose in today’s world.
- The event will address key topics, including Christian nationalism, through Q&A sessions and Bible teaching, aiming to deepen believers’ relationship with Christ.
The “Exploring Philippians with N.T. Wright” conference will feature seven teaching sessions dedicated to Paul’s powerful letter, along with engaging conversations about the Church’s role amid cultural challenges.
Pastor Jeff Warren shared:
“N.T. Wright has impacted my ministry in big ways over the past 20, 25 years, particularly with his articulation of the Kingdom of God and understanding of the Church as a working model of new creation that has impacted my ministry as a pastor and our church here in Dallas.”
Wright’s teachings are valued for making doctrine accessible and encouraging Christians to live out Gospel truths in everyday life.
Warren noted:
“So many Evangelicals, even Baptists, have grown up to say the real game is to get people in Heaven, when in actuality it’s that we’re transformed by the Gospel to live out the life of Jesus in the here and now.”
This gathering aims to promote sound theology and foster greater intimacy with Jesus among attendees.
Warren emphasized:
“My great takeaway is that people will be walking closer to Jesus as a result of being with us.”
Sessions run from Sunday evening through Tuesday afternoon, packed with teaching, break times, and special Q&A periods with Professor Wright. Important issues such as the distinction between Christian nationalism and biblical patriotism will be explored to help believers faithfully engage the culture.
