New Testament Survey

Description:

Updated Jan 2026!

In this course, students will explore the theological depth and personal application of the New Testament, tracing its roots in the Old Testament and following the life of Jesus as He heals, teaches, and ultimately offers Himself as a living sacrifice.

Through reflection, creative design, and close Bible study, students will engage with the birth of the early church and discover how Jesus continues to work through His followers by the power of the Holy Spirit. As they journey alongside Peter, Paul, and the apostles—through persecution, proclamation, and pastoral care—students will consider their own response to Christ’s call. Along the way, they’ll practice sharing the good news with both fictional and real audiences, and be challenged to think deeply, speak honestly, and grow spiritually.

FROM THE TEACHER

The life of Jesus is the “grand finale” to everything toward which the Old Testament has been building. In this journey, we’ll see that God is more than just powerful and just; He is also full of tenderness and love. As we follow Jesus through the Gospels, He invites us into the Kingdom He is building—not just as spectators, but as fellow architects and builders. We’ll also explore the incredible gift of the Holy Spirit and see how the presence of Jesus through that spirit equipped the first Christians learned to live in this new reality, discovering how we can celebrate that same Good News with our neighbors today.
