The Storyline of Scripture | Dr. Michael Grisanti

38 minutes

In this episode, Dr. Michael Grisanti, Old Testament professor at The Master’s Seminary, walks us through the grand narrative of Scripture by examining the biblical covenants—Noahic, Abrahamic, Davidic, and New. We explore how these covenants form the foundation of God’s redemptive plan, their fulfillment in Christ, and their implications within a premillennial framework.

Key topics include the Abrahamic Covenant’s promises, the significance of the Genesis 15 ceremony, the dual horizons of the Davidic Covenant, and how messianic expectations point to Christ’s first and second coming. Tune in for a rich discussion on how the Bible’s storyline fits together as one cohesive narrative.
