Audio sermons (NT MP3)

The New Testament has 27 books in four parts: Gospels, History, Epistles, and Prophecy. It records the coming of Jesus Christ who fulfills the Old Testament promise, the cross and resurrection, the birth and spread of the church by the Spirit, and the hope of his return.

Background of writing

• Author and inspiration — Apostles and their coworkers wrote as the Spirit moved them (2 Tim. 3:16), bearing witness to Christ, God’s final revelation.
• Date — Written over about a century, from Jesus’ public ministry (early 1st century AD) to Revelation (c. AD 90).
• Historical setting — Under the Roman Empire the early church was born around Judea, Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome: Jews and Gentiles joined, and the church grew through persecution.

Purpose of writing

• It proclaims the gospel of salvation accomplished by Christ’s death and resurrection, and teaches justification by faith.
• It teaches the church’s life in the Spirit, sanctification, order, and service.
• It proclaims last-days judgment, Christ’s return, and new creation so that saints endure to the end.
• The whole New Testament calls God’s people today to live by the gospel, hope in heaven, and build up the church.
