Finding Jesus in the Pages of the Old Testament Part One | Pastor Kevin Poage

In this new Bible study series, Pastor Kevin leads us into a journey through the Old Testament to uncover the presence of Jesus—long before the New Testament records His birth. With heartfelt excitement, Pastor Kevin highlights the profound truth that Jesus is woven throughout the Scriptures—from the Law and the Prophets to the Psalms and even the lives of key Old Testament figures. Discover how stories like Abraham and Isaac, Moses and the burning bush, and Jonah in the belly of the fish all point to Christ. You’ll leave this teaching with fresh eyes for the Word and a deeper appreciation of how the entire Bible tells one consistent story: Jesus.

Three Main Takeaways:

1. Jesus Is Revealed All Throughout the Old Testament
   Through Luke 24, John 5, and 1 Corinthians 10, we see that Jesus affirmed the Old Testament speaks of Him—from Moses and the Prophets to the Psalms. The Scriptures aren't just historical—they're Christ-centered.

2. Christophanies Show Us Jesus Before Bethlehem
   Appearances like “the Angel of the Lord” reveal Jesus in the Old Testament, such as in Genesis 22 (with Abraham and Isaac) and Exodus 3 (in the burning bush). These moments show Jesus actively revealing God's will and character before His incarnation.

3. Old Testament Types and Shadows Point to Jesus
   From Isaac carrying wood up Mount Moriah to Jonah’s three days in the fish, and Abigail taking the blame for Nabal’s foolishness, we see foreshadowings of Jesus’ sacrifice, resurrection, and intercession on our behalf.
