From the Pulpit...

We had a question earlier in the day about the chronology of Saul's interaction with David. In 1 Samuel 17 when David killed Goliath, did Saul know him? We examined a number of approaches to handle this question. A second question arose about the proper method of interpreting Zechariah 11 and how Old Testament prophecies are used in the New Testament. We were able to understand the importance of taking the text literally and take caution about how we use analogies in various Scriptures.

Then we quickly examined a list of the coworkers of the apostle Paul and emphasized the need for teamwork in the ministry of the church. This idea is essential for the work of the ministry.
