EP 35: Connecting the Old and New Testament

We’ve spent this entire series unpacking the overarching narrative of Scripture, from Genesis to the exile, tracing God’s mission to restore His people. Now, we’re flipping the page—literally—to the New Testament. What does Jesus' arrival mean in the grand story? How did the early church understand their place in it? And most importantly, what does this mean for us today?In this episode, we explore:✅ Why the Old Testament is still essential to understanding the New Testament✅ How Jesus fulfilled the law rather than abolishing it✅ The powerful connection between Pentecost and the Tower of Babel✅ How the Great Commission ties into God’s mission from the very beginning✅ What this all means for our daily lives as believers📖 Key Scriptures: Luke 24:13-35 – Jesus on the road to Emmaus, unpacking the Scriptures Acts 2:29-36 – Peter’s sermon, connecting David’s prophecy to Jesus 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 – Paul’s comparison of the Exodus to the Gospel Matthew 28:18-20 – The Great Commission and our role in God’s mission💡 Takeaway: The Bible is one continuous story of redemption, and we’re invited to be part of that story. Our faith isn’t just about belief—it’s about stepping into the mission God has been unfolding since the beginning of time.🙏 Final Thought:As we close this series, we encourage you to keep digging into Scripture, asking hard questions, and letting the Word shape your faith.
