Daniel 5: Sovereign
Preaching Christ from the Book of Judges.
Greetings, please can I get pointers on how to preach Christ from the Book of Judges. Thank you.

Yes, I think typology with Christ seen as the true anti-type is the key. But, doing so without stretching things and making them weird is the key. The way I do it is to look for what @Jon Varner said first, but then after that, look for how Christ and his character is being pointed to by the injustices and the like. So, look for things like the lack of truth, righteousness, justice, mercy, etc. You don't always need to nail a type fulfilled in Christ when the story itself demands that there is someone who is what the story isn't. And, I guess, in Judges particularly, I think like this: though everyone did what was right in their own eyes, Jesus lived with the eyes of the Father watching him, only doing what was pleasing in God's sight, and ultimately giving his own life for us who refused to do what is right in God's eyes.

I have worked out a Christological hermeneutic over the years that I use to see that if Christ is to be pre-eminent in all things, and preaching is a thing, therefore, he is to be pre-eminent in that, yet, all of it is by the power of the Spirit and to the glory of the Father, as we are God's children through adoption in union with Christ. I feel like it is so easy to focus on the forensic aspect of salvation and forget the filial. So, I try to always draw people into the love of the Father in Christ.
Presentation Slides
Curious how everyone builds their slides for their presentations. Do you use the PPGR on your presentation slides or just the principle statement itself? My current sermon slide structure, before using Preach360, has been: Title > Big Idea > Text > Point 1 > Point 2 > Etc > Embracing _______ (typically reframing Big Idea). Share your best practices with me. 🙂

That was a picture from Proclaim of the principle. When I am preaching, I said, "We don't have to live in fear of rising kingdoms. Why? Every man, nation, and machine will all turn to dust, for…" I then transition to the slide and say, "Only God’s kingdom is all-encompassing and eternal"

@Jon Varner And I advance it throughout. I do this so that they can get the big idea of each section. I do, however, show the Scripture passages that I am referring to in each section. You can see an example here (https://www.youtube.com/live/1FWN0cBTvmg), beginning at about 21 minutes, and then at 27 minutes, I think I go in to the principle.
Whole Book PPGR (Daniel)…thoughts
Scripture Passage: Daniel Main Theme: Jesus is the greater Daniel, the faithful Son who willingly entered our exile to redeem us from the kingdoms of this world and bring us into his everlasting kingdom. Main idea: Jesus is the eternal Son of God and Son of Man who willingly entered our exile, suffered rejection and death, and rose victorious; he is the stone who crushes every earthly kingdom and the Son of Man who has received dominion, glory, and an everlasting kingdom, so that people from every nation and language might be delivered from exile and brought under his gracious reign to worship him forever. Keyword: Kingdom Principle: Humanity must humbly acknowledge God’s everlasting dominion over every kingdom (Dan. 4:34-37) Problem: In pride, humanity rejects God’s dominion and seeks to establish its own kingdom apart from him (Dan. 4:30; 5:2-4) Gospel: Jesus willingly entered our exile to redeem us from the dominion of sin and the kingdoms of this world and bring us into his everlasting kingdom (Dan. 7:13-14; 9:24–26) Response: By the Spirit, we humbly live as faithful citizens under the dominion of Christ’s everlasting kingdom while surrounded by the kingdoms of this world (Dan. 1:8; 3:16-18; 6:5, 10, 13)

It was a great sermon to finish up the book of Luke. I'm on study leave, so I am mapping out the whole book of Daniel this week.
