You're Not David - Reading The OT and Psalms Through Christ

Published on: 5th July, 2022

Have you struggled to apply the Psalms to your life without feeling the burden of perfection? How can we read the Old Testament without turning it into moralism? In this episode we discuss how Christ and David relate to each other, especially in the Psalms. Once we grasp an overarching concept of Christ in the Old Testament we are free from the burden of our own perfection and able to truly sing the Psalms out of thankfulness for Christ. We are not David. We need a David. We are not Christ. We need Christ!

I grew up in the Piney Woods of East Texas as a pastor's son. Being on the inside, I saw the worst of the church. But the Lord has brought me to see the glory of the gospel and the worth of the church. My wife and I have four wonderful children and an average dog. I love good BBQ and there is a lot of it in Austin, Tx.

The joys in 1 Thessalonians 2:13 are what make me want to wake up and preach another day.
