Secret Church 1 – Session 2: How Should We Study Each Book of the Old Testament?

About this sermon

In this session of Secret Church 1, Pastor David Platt teaches from Numbers through the Song of Solomon. Numbers presents the six main failures of God’s people between the censuses that are taken. Deuteronomy teaches us that the Law applies to all of God’s people. The book of Joshua reminds God’s people of his promise to save them. Judges reveals that when God’s people disobey him, the result is always judgment. The book of Ruth traces the royal lineage of king David and ultimately, king Jesus. 1 Samuel depicts the transition from theocracy to monarchy and 2 Samuel mainly focuses on David’s dynasty as king. 1 and 2 Kings demonstrate that the rejection of Israel as God’s people comes as a result of Israel rejecting God and the rise of the prophets who proclaim God’s Word. 1 and 2 Chronicles is an idealized picture of Israel’s history, and the central focus is on the temple and Israel’s wholehearted worship. Ezra and Nehemiah teach us that God’s sovereignty works to preserve his people for his glory. Though God’s name is not mentioned in Esther, the book is full of evidence of his providence. Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon include humanity’s responses to the words and deeds of God found throughout the Law and the Prophets.
