A Message from Chuck: The Greatest Story Ever Told
Friend, have you ever felt a bit overwhelmed by the New Testament? It’s only about a quarter of the size of the Old Testament, but it is packed with such depth, such drama, and such life-changing truth that it can be hard to know where to begin. Some people see it as a collection of historical letters, while others see it as a theological handbook. But I want to help you see it for what it truly is: the unfolding story of God’s grace reaching down to a broken world.
In this video, we’re taking a 30,000-foot view with an Overview of the New Testament. We aren’t just looking at chapters and verses; we’re looking at the heartbeat of God. From the quiet birth of a Savior in a stable to the thunderous triumph of His return in Revelation, every page points to one Person.
We’ll explore the four distinct movements of the New Testament:
- The Gospels (Manifestation): Meeting Jesus face-to-face and seeing the promise of the ages finally arrive.
- The Book of Acts (Propagation): Watching the fire of the Holy Spirit turn a group of frightened disciples into a world-changing movement.
- The Epistles (Explanation): Digging into the letters that tell us what the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus actually mean for our Monday mornings.
- The Book of Revelation (Consummation): Peering into the future to find hope in the fact that, in the end, God wins.
Whether you’re a lifelong student of the Word or you’ve never picked up a Bible in your life, there is a place for you in this story. Let’s look together at the amazing landscape of the New Testament.
