How do the 27 books of the New Testament fit together to tell one unified story?

If the Old Testament reveals God's promises and prepares the way for the Messiah, the New Testament shows those promises being fulfilled through Jesus Christ. It's where we encounter His life, death, and resurrection, witness the birth and growth of the Church, and learn what it means to live faithfully as His followers.

Episode 28 takes a high-level tour through the New Testament, exploring the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation. You'll discover the purpose of each section, how they connect with one another, and how every part ultimately points us toward Jesus. From His earthly ministry to the spread of the gospel and the hope of His future return, the New Testament tells one incredible story of salvation, transformation, and victory.

The New Testament isn't simply a collection of historical accounts and ancient letters. It reveals who Jesus is, explains what He accomplished for us, teaches us how to follow Him, and reminds us of the eternal hope we have because Jesus Christ wins.
