Ebook: The Message of the New Testament (Foreword by John MacArthur)

The New Testament is the story of how all the promises made by God in the Old Testament were keptand what that means for us today. The nation of Israel had many hopes: hope for a deliverer, hope for restored fellowship with God, and hope for the world to be put right. The New Testament explains how those promises were kept and how, if we are Christians, they are kept in us as well. Mark Dever surveys the historical context, organization, and theology of each New Testament book, in light of Gods Old Testament promises. His message is that of the New Testament itself, one of hope fulfilled. Mark Dever used twenty-eight sermons in the early years of his ministry at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. to preach through the entire New Testament, one sermon for each of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament and one extra sermon that surveys the whole New Testament.;The message of Matthew : Jesus, the Son of David -- The message of Mark : Jesus, the Son of Man -- The message of Luke : Jesus, the Son of Adam -- The message of John : Jesus, the Son of God -- The message of Acts : Jesus, the risen Lord -- The message of Romans : justification -- The message of 1 Corinthians : church -- The message of 2 Corinthians : weakness -- The message of Galatians : faith -- The message of Ephesians : grace -- The message of Philippians : humility -- The message of Colossians : new life -- The message of 1 Thessalonians : the second coming -- The message of 2 Thessalonians : hope -- The message of 1 Timothy : leadership -- The message of 2 Timothy : success -- The message of Titus : beginnings -- The message of Philemon : forgiveness -- The message of Hebrews : sticking with the best -- The message of James : faith that works -- The message of 1 Peter : when things get tough -- The message of 2 Peter : certainty -- The message of 1 John : Christianity and the flesh -- The message of 2 John : truth and love -- The message of 3 John : why go to all the trouble? -- The message of Jude : having faith in faithless times -- The message of Revelation : what are we waiting for?
