John the Baptist came as a forerunner to announce the Kingdom of Heaven and call for repentance in preparation for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The new covenant promised through Jesus Christ brings an inward renewal through the Holy Spirit whereby the law is written within. God pledges himself to his people, we are given a saving knowledge of the LORD and our sins are remembered no more.

In response to the disciples' request that Jesus teach them to pray, Jesus does just that. He teaches that His disciples ought to pray with persistence, fervency, and expectation that the Father will generously give the Holy Spirit, who comes fully loaded with all the spiritual and practical blessings Christians need.

Seven hundred before the Son of God came in the flesh, the prophet Isaiah prophesied about the Servant of the Lord who would be exalted and triumph, bringing salvation to the nations through suffering. This amazing prophecy of our Lord Jesus Christ was fulfilled and is being fulfilled as the gospel continues to go to the nations of the world.

But David was totally unique and the most important king. The Lord said, I have selected David as “a king for Myself”, “a man after My own heart”. Samuel anointed David, about a thousand years before Christ was born. It’s one of the most important events in the Bible.

The book of Joshua presents to us a new era in redemptive history. Moses has died and Joshua is called to lead the next generation of Israelites into the promised land. Joshua is important in the overarching story arc of the bible for two reasons. First, it fulfills the God's land promise given to Abraham that his offspring would inhabit. Second, the book of Joshua points to the true and greater Joshua, Jesus Christ, and the ultimate rest He gives us by faith and a future "homeland", "better country" for all the redeemed.
