The Missing Testament in Modern Christianity (Pastor Rick Goertzen)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many churches today focus heavily on the New Testament but rarely preach from the Old. What are we missing when the Old Testament is neglected?
In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, Pastor Rick Goertzen (Countryside Bible Church in Hampton, NE) explains why the Old Testament is essential for understanding the full message of Scripture. We discuss how the New Testament writers relied on the Old Testament, how key doctrines like holiness, covenant, sin, sacrifice, and redemption are rooted there, and why modern churches must recover faithful Old Testament teaching.
Pastor Goertzen also offers practical advice for pastors who want to incorporate the Old Testament more intentionally in preaching and discipleship, and guidance for believers who feel intimidated when reading it.
If we want to understand the New Testament rightly, we cannot neglect the Testament that came first.
