New Testament Survey

No comments:
 

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. - 2nd Timothy 2:15

Paul exhorts Timothy to be one who can rightly handle God's word because Paul knew very well that "faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" (Romans 10:17). It is through the good news of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in the Scriptures that the Holy Spirit regenerates hearts and gives people faith. So rightly handling the word of truth is of utmost importance for ministers of the gospel. That is why, during our season of support raising, we are continuing our ministry training by taking a New Testament Survey Course. This course gives the background information, themes, authors, and a general overview for the New Testament. At the end we will be able to better navigate the scriptures and proclaim them boldly, knowing Christ and making Him known. We are so excited for the opportunity to continue learning about the world at the time our Lord walked the earth so that others can encounter Him through our witness. It has been a great time of confirming the Lord's call on our life to be heralds of the good news of Jesus. Thank you for making this essential time of training and preparation possible. Please pray that we would study diligently and be doers of the word ourselves and not blind guides.



-In Christ alone,
