CC # 141 The King's Son-in-Law

Today's gospel instalment- 11-27-2022--Message Title- 1. The king's Son-in-Law, 2. A poor and lightly esteemed Man--Text - 1 Samuel 18--1. Gospel testimony in the Old Testament is glorious, but hidden in types and shadows.--2. And without a proper hermeneutic -Christ centered way of reading it- it remains as just some stories packed with a lot of moralistic teaching.--3. In the story of David, Goliath and king Saul we have wonderful testimony of what it is God requires for salvation -union and representation from the ONE MAN-.--4. In other words, what He stipulated should happen to Christ for Him to get the church, the King's daughter.--5. Many who preach have yet to understand the exclusivity of Christ in the matter of the church's standing before God.--6. The church was given to Christ on condition that He would die to redeem it.--7. And so, we saw King Saul saying the same to David, that he would only get his daughter Michal on condition that he defeat and kill Goliath and would bring 100 foreskins of the Philistines.--8. You must listen to the whole message to get all the details to see the puzzle pieces come together. --9. God be praised for revealing His gospel truth. AMEN
