Today's gospel instalment- 04-07-2024-- --Sermon Title -s-- 1. David slews Goliath, 2. Give me a man, 3. The gospel from Goliath's pulpit-- --Text- 1Samuel17-- --1. Gospel telling from the Old Testament stories is most wonderful, but it is fraught with potholes by reason of poor hermeneutics.--2. To glean and make sense of the stories, a Christ centered, gospel centered hermeneutic must be used.--3. I argue that much of the New Testament teaching is there in the Old, but hidden in story form.--4. Thus, the characters in the stories must be interpreted in light of the New Testament revelation.--5. Thus, Goliath is not a list of your problems, but a testimony of that which stood against you before God to condemn you.--6. So, His stature was given to amplify that truth of the fearsomeness of attempting your own salvation. And Goliath himself had a wonderful sermon about how the matter of salvation would be settled.--7. He said, give me a man, but NOT just any man, but one who is ABLE TO FIGHT AND KILL ME.--8. In other words, the matter of salvation is about UNION and REPRESENTATION by the qualified Man who could fight to the death.--9. There is a lot of wonderful gospel nuggets in this message if you can listen to the end.--10. But those for whom it was given will make to the end-because it is pure gospel and it is FREE-
