Ever felt lost trying to connect the Old and New Testaments? Wondered how it all fits together? In this message, Pastor Douglas zooms out to give you a 30,000-foot view of the New Testament—showing how Jesus fulfills every promise, every picture, and every prophecy of the Old Testament.

From Matthew to John, we walk through the Gospels and beyond to see how the Redeemer has come—and the mission continues.

Key Teaching Highlights:

  • Jesus is the Seed of Abraham (Gal. 3:16)
    • The long-awaited serpent crusher has arrived—and He’s victorious.
  • Jesus is the King of Israel (Luke 1:32)
    • The throne promised to David now belongs to the eternal King.
  • Jesus is the Savior (1 Cor. 5:7)
    • Our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed—His blood still covers.
  • Jesus is the True Temple (John 1:14)
    • God no longer dwells in buildings—He came to dwell with us.
  • Jesus Fulfills the Law (Rom. 10:4)
    • The law showed us our need. Jesus met every requirement.

 

This message is more than history—it’s a call to live differently. You’ll also receive 6 powerful instructions for Gospel-centered living:

  1. Read the Bible to be transformed, not entertained.
  2. Surrender the Jesus you’ve made up—and follow the real One.
  3. Don’t play games with the enemy—he’s still dangerous.
  4. Come out from behind shame and step into Christ’s covering.
  5. Live like you’re already loved—not like you’re trying to earn it.
  6. Get in the game. The mission is yours.
