Old Testament (1172)
  1. It turns out the family trait of not being able to wait runs deep and wide in the family of God. We do foolish things while we wait for promises to be fulfilled.
  2. Spear throwing and foreskin gathering.
  3. The words the Anointed One uses to describe His reign are very familiar ones: Preach to the afflicted, bind up the broken hearted, liberty for the captives, opening eyes, comfort and provide for those who mourn.
  4. Many of us have experienced what it feels like to wait and to remain patient this year. This Advent, we are reminded of how the saints before us experienced similar feelings of uncertainty, need, and hopeful expectation as they awaited - both faithfully and unfaithfully - for God to fulfill his promises.
  5. Isaiah invokes beautiful imagery of the Good Shepherd who tends His flock, gathers His lambs in His arms, carries them in His bosom, and gently leads.
  6. The love between David and Jonathan, and the suspicion of Saul.
  7. David and Goliath.
  8. The LORD God had promised He was coming, and they were certain there could be no better time for Him to fulfill His promise.
  9. David plays the harp and Goliath takes the field.
  10. The “New David” will manifest the power of the LORD and will not set Himself in opposition as did the false shepherds.
  11. Although theirs is an impressive show of faith, the display of God’s faithfulness to them is far greater. After all, faith is only as strong as the object in which it is placed.
  12. The end of Agag and the beginning of David.
