Outline Teaching on Messianic Prophecies from Old Testament Narratives

For our Tuesday series at church we have been going over a series on apologetics with the unit on Messianic prophecies from the Old Testament. It has been such a joy teaching this series; I’m learning a lot myself along the way.

Here specifically we share the outlines from passages from Old Testament narrative books after the Law of Moses.  I think they are also important in terms of studying Messianic prophecies in the Psalms since the Messianic and Prophetic trajectories of the Old Testament continue after the Law of Moses and sets the expectation that the Psalms would be Messianic and Prophetic given how things related to David have a Messianic trajectory and the Psalms are heavily Davidic in authorship and also the Davidic Covenant is key to understanding the Psalms.

Here are the links to the outlines below:

David versus Goliath is a Messianic Type

 

Establish the need: We already saw the last two weeks that the beginning and end of 1-2 Samuel has Messianic prophecies stated in poetic forms; but in between the bookends does any of the narrative stories gives us any types pointing towards the Messiah?

Purpose: We will explore how this story is a type pointing to Jesus with two points so that we would be at awe with God and Christ and the Bible as our act of worship.

• We expect a Messianic typology in 1-2 Samuel because of the parallels between Abraham and David
• The parallel with David and Jesus
