The New Testament canon was completed in the first century as Christ spoke through His apostles, whose writings the congregations recognized as inspired Scripture.
Apostolic Writings and the Formation of the New Testament Canon
From Bethlehem to Calvary: The Ministry and Atoning Death of Christ
From Bethlehem to Calvary, Jesus’ ministry and atoning death reveal Jehovah’s plan to forgive sins and inaugurate the kingdom through His Messiah.
The Fullness of Time and the Birth of Jesus the Messiah
In the fullness of time, Jehovah used Rome, Herod, a virgin in Nazareth, and a manger in Bethlehem to bring His promised Davidic Messiah into the world.
The Missionary Journeys of Paul and the Expansion of the Gospel
From Damascus to Rome, Jehovah used Paul’s journeys to plant congregations, clarify doctrine, and carry the gospel from Jerusalem into the wider empire.
From the Maccabees to the Messiah
From the Maccabees to the Messiah, Jewish resistance, Roman rule, and rising messianic hope prepared the world for the coming of Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Paul: An Example Worthy of Imitation
Paul’s life displays Christlike humility, endurance, Gospel zeal, disciplined discipleship, love, and hope—a living pattern for believers to imitate.
The Apostle Paul’s Arrest, First, and Second Imprisonments at Rome
Paul’s chains carried the Gospel from Jerusalem to Rome. Through legal hearings, shipwreck, house arrest, and a death cell, the Word advanced and the church was strengthened.
The Apostle Paul’s Third Missionary Journey
Paul’s third journey strengthens churches, topples idols, equips elders, and advances the gospel from Ephesus to Jerusalem under Scripture’s prevailing power.
The Apostle Paul’s Second Missionary Journey
Paul’s second journey shows Scripture-driven mission: new teams, open doors to Macedonia, conversions at Philippi, Athens engagement, and a long Corinth work.
The Apostle Paul’s First Missionary Journey
Paul’s first journey (47–48 C.E.) models Word-driven mission: synagogue-first preaching, Gentile inclusion, miracles attesting, elders appointed, and churches strengthened.
