“The Seed of the Woman: Christ in Creation and the Fall”

Key Idea: God’s revelation at creation and the fall establishes the promise of redemption through the seed of the woman, fulfilled in Christ.

Points of Focus:

• Christ as the eternal Word (John 1:1–3) and the agent of creation (Colossians 1:16).
• The fall as the context for the first promise of redemption (Genesis 3:15).
• Adam as the type of Christ (Romans 5:14) and Christ as the last Adam who crushes the serpent.

“The Seed of Abraham: Christ in the Patriarchs and the Promise”

Text: Genesis 12, 15, 17; Galatians 3:16

Key Idea: God’s covenant with Abraham reveals the promise of Christ as the true seed who brings blessing to the nations.

Points of Focus:

• God’s promises to Abraham: land, seed, and blessing.
• The typology of Isaac’s near-sacrifice in Genesis 22 as pointing to the ultimate sacrifice in Christ.
• Paul’s interpretation in Galatians 3:16, showing Christ as the promised seed.

“The Son of David: Christ in the Monarchy and the Prophets”

Text: 2 Samuel 7:12–16; Isaiah 9:6–7; Jeremiah 23:5–6

Key Idea: God’s covenant with David and the prophetic writings reveal Christ as the eternal King who establishes God’s kingdom.

Points of Focus:

• The Davidic covenant and the promise of an everlasting throne fulfilled in Christ (Luke 1:32–33).
• Isaiah’s prophecies of the Prince of Peace and the suffering servant, fulfilled in Christ’s person and work.
• Jeremiah’s vision of the righteous branch as the perfect king and shepherd.

A catered lunch will be provided in the church fellowship hall.

“The Son in Exile: Christ as the Hope of Restoration”

Text: Ezekiel 36:22–28; Daniel 7:13–14

Key Idea: The exile represents both judgment for sin and the hope of ultimate restoration in Christ.

Points of Focus:

• Israel’s exile as a shadow of humanity’s estrangement from God and the consequences of sin.
• God’s promises of restoration through the new covenant (Ezekiel 36:26) and the coming of the Son of Man (Daniel 7:13–14).
• Christ as the fulfillment of these promises: the one who ends exile by bringing His people into the presence of God.

“The Lamb of God: Christ in Fulfillment and Consummation”

Text: Luke 24:44–49; Revelation 5:9–14

Key Idea: Christ fulfills all Scripture, and the ultimate goal of God’s revelation is his glory in the redemption of His people.

Points of Focus:

• Christ’s own interpretation of the Old Testament as pointing to his life, death, and resurrection (Luke 24:44–47).
• The apostles’ proclamation of Christ’s fulfillment of Scripture in Acts (e.g., Peter in Acts 2; Paul in Acts 13).
• Revelation’s depiction of Christ as the Lamb who is worthy to open the scroll and bring history to its consummation.
