What We Are Teaching

Over the next 4 weeks we will be teaching the basics of the New Testament. We will be asking such questions as 

     - Who wrote the New Testament?

     - Can books of the New Testament be written today?

     - Does the New Testament contain any errors?

     - What is the main point of the New Testament (Why was it written)?

     - How should I come to the Scriptures?

     - and many others......

This coming Sunday our main topic will be:

    - General introduction into the Bible.

    - Who wrote the New Testament.

Here are some of the main points we will discuss so that you are aware of what we talked about and you can bring it up to them in conversation.

 

   1. All Scripture claims to be God-breathed or inspired.

   2. All of the prophetic writings of the Old Testament are divinely inspired and perfect, sacred Scripture.

   3. The New Testament also claims to be divinely inspired, perfect prophecy, just like the Old Testament.

   4. In the Old Testament we are repeatedly told that the “Word of God” will stand the test of time, unlike anything that has been or ever   will be written; it will last forever because it is from God. The New Testament speaks of itself as the Word of God. 

   5.  The writers of the New Testament said and showed that they believed they were writing divinely inspired Scripture.

   6.  The early church treated the apostles’ New Testament teaching as authoritative just like the Old Testament teaching of the prophets.

BIG IDEA - 

This is what we want the students to leave remembering.

God wrote the New Testament through human authors whom God the Holy Spirit inspired to perfectly pen his truth. Scripture is our highest authority. God wrote the NT because Jesus rose from death and proved himself to be God and the only way to eternal life.

I hope this is helpful to you and please let me know if you have any questions.
