Old Testament (1216)
  1. While these are familiar words to us, frequently they are dealt with in ways that fail to take into account the context and the situation.
  2. Saul eats and David is unlike anyone else.
  3. The Church has traditionally understood Baptism as a naming Sacrament. It reminds us of our new baptismal identity.
  4. We cannot scan any random passage of Scripture and automatically assume the words are unconditionally addressed to us. Often, very often, they are not.
  5. Do you want to learn Hebrew or expand your knowledge of the language? What are some online resources for studying the Bible in the original languages?
  6. Violent raids and raising the dead.
  7. The amount of Messianic/Christological connections in this account is stunning. This is an excellent Old Testament text with which to begin Lent!
  8. God’s plans and purposes for this world aren’t dependent upon us. They’re dependent upon him. This means our faith is liberated.
  9. Final words, gospel nuggets, and moving in with your enemies.
  10. Elijah crosses over the Jordan to be taken into Heaven. Later, Elisha will cross the Jordan again into the Promised Land.
  11. God is not what we experience him to be, what our emotions narrate him to be, or what our intuition thinks he might be. God is what and who he says he is.
  12. Like needing to find a bathroom, the urgency of preaching the presence of God’s kingdom should be felt in the very inner being of every pastor. Not that anything has changed, but God is definitely demonstrating the vulnerability of sinners to the masses. The harvest is now!
