In this third episode in our series through Samuel, Brian Verrett finishes looking back to Genesis. Picking up from our previous podcast, we learn that the Pentateuch does more than just present Adam as a priest, a king, and a failure. The Pentateuch also anticipates that the promised seed of the woman will be a final Adam who will fix what Adam's sin broke. Because of this anticipation in the Pentateuch and other books, 1-2 Samuel hopes for a new Adam and a priest-king who will defeat the serpent.

In this third and final lecture at Dallas Theological Seminary, Jason clarifies from Zephaniah 3:11–20 how Yahweh motivates his charge to wait for him by promising to save his global remnant in a way that satisfies both the Redeemer and those he redeems.

In this second lecture at Dallas Theological Seminary, Jason shares from Zephaniah 2:1–4 and 3:8–10 that God's faithful remnant should patiently pursue Yahweh to avoid punishment and to enjoy satisfying salvation.

In the first of three lectures focused on Zephaniah, Jason provides background to the prophet and a careful look at the beauty and horror of the day of the Lord.

In the second episode of our series on 1 Samuel, Brian Verrett considers Adam and his calling. This episode, like the first episode on 1 Samuel, provides important background information to studying 1 Samuel (and the rest of the Bible!).

In this episode Jason interviews Tom. The conversation begins with a question about becoming a Christian who loves the peoples of the world. How does biblical theology relate to missions? Jason also asks Tom about the beginnings of Hands to the Plow and HTTP's current work training pastors and leaders.

A look at Old Testament passages describing the coming Messiah as God.

Brian Verrett's The Serpent in Samuel: A Messianic Motif thoroughly explores the author of Samuel's focus on the crushing of the serpent, a theme introduced in Gen 3:15 and built upon in subsequent Scripture.
