The Gospel in the Old Testament: God's Anointed

We tend to think of the gospel as being a New Testament thing, but it is throughout the Old Testament, even from the very beginning. A thousand years before Christ we find that God has appointed a world wide, forever King! That is both marvelous, glorious, and can be scary!

Psalm 2,89:20,89:27,110:1
Acts 4:23-31,13:22-36
Romans 9:5,1:3-4
Ephesians 1:20-23
Philippians 2:9-11
Matthew 28:18-20
1 Corinthians 15:24-26

Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:

• Why do modern people struggle with the concept of authority?
• What is God's response in Psalm 2 to the nations' rage?
• What are the blessings of having Jesus as God's anointed King?
• Why should this be scary to some?
• What is the glorious plan?

Matthew 27:45-54
Genesis 3:24
Exodus 19:12,19:21-25
Isaiah 6:5
Judges 13:22
Philippians 3:9

Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:

• How many ways did God say "Stay Back" in the Old Testament?
• Why did He say this?
• What was the significance of the curtain in the temple?
• What is the significance that the curtain was torn in two on the day Jesus was crucified?

As we continue in our study of Mark, it is shocking and thrilling to come to the realization: "I am Barabbas"!

Mark 15:1-15,11:1-14:11
Acts 2:36-41
Isaiah 53:7-8

Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:

• What impact does that have on you?
• Why can we say "I am Barabbas!"?
• How does his experience highlight our experience of Christ's love and sacrifice?
• How can I nurture joy, awe and thankfulness everyday based on my Barabbas like experience of Christ?
• How should this affect how I serve the cause of Christ in the world?
