The message of the New Testament : promises kept
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
