686: The Manifold Wisdom of God // God’s Eternal Purpose and Plan 02 (Nathan Johnson)
The body of Christ (the Church) has the tremendous privilege to declare the manifold wisdom of God to the heavenly realms.

In this expositional study of Ephesians 3:10, Nathan Johnson explores this amazing mystery and describes not only what the manifold wisdom of God is but explains how we get to showcase the life and wisdom of God to the universe.
