Summary:
In her sermon, Rev. Vicki Harrison explores the relevance of the Old Testament to modern Christians, arguing that it remains a critical part of God’s self-revelation and foundational to understanding the New Testament. She uses 2 Timothy 3:16–17 and Hebrews 4:12 to assert that all Scripture, including the Old Testament, is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching and guiding Christians in righteousness. Rev. Harrison emphasizes that the Old Testament reveals essential characteristics of God and forms the backdrop for the messianic fulfillment found in Jesus Christ. She encourages the congregation to engage deeply with the Old Testament to better appreciate its continuity with the New Testament and to understand more fully the nature of God and His plan for humanity, aligning with New Hope’s mission of making more and better followers of Jesus Christ. She calls on the community to reflect on what these teachings reveal about God and our relationship with Him, in light of New Hope’s values.
