About this episode

This episode explores the connections between the story of David and Goliath and the Gospel, highlighting biblical themes and connections.

Goliath was a monster. This man was a giant, a beast; the Devil’s own proxy. But God had His own champion. He sent a shepherd from Bethlehem to crush the monster’s head. Does that remind you of anybody else? In today’s study of 1 Samuel 17, we’ll see the Gospel in OT clothing. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) In what ways was Goliath a proxy for the serpent? B) What other types or shadows are in this chapter? C) How do Gen. 3, Rev. 13, and 1 Samuel 17 connect? Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt
