Today's Gospel installment: 04/01/2024Text: 1 Samuel 15 & 16Message Title: 1. God rejects Saul, 2. Samuel anoints David, 3. God's Spirit leaves Saul, 4..The gospel according to Saul and David in the transition..1..A happy resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus CHRIST to all who name Christ according to His Truth..2...Saul's reign over Israel must come to an end, not because God hated Saul necessarily, but for a much greater reason..3..David must ascend the throne. This David who was the man after God's heart..Define David and then you can define Saul... 4..But why this transaction and change? Why have Saul as king if God didn't approve of his house? 5..Was God changing His mind about Saul after a disappointing job performance? Does God change His mind? 6..What then? God is a preacher of the gospel. Thus, Saul must be understood in the gospel context.. 7..Saul was a picture of the reign of the Law and its abuse/slavery and that ministry must pass and be succeeded by the better ministry of the man approved by God.. 8..But in typology, a person can carry the testimony of many.. So, Saul was also a picture of God the Father and the text has all these details to back it up.. 9..When Samuel anointed David, the Spirit of God left Saul for David and an evil spirit or distressing spirit was sent by God to torment Saul.. 10..Many traditions around that, but what was that actually preaching about in the gospel? It actually IS A MARVELOUS GOSPEL MATTER THAT IS CONTAINED IN THAT TESTIMONY.. SO, MANY THINGS TO SAY AND THIS IS A MUST HEAR MESSAGE.. And it is free!
