2 Samuel 23:1-7 - Last Words Looking Forward
Last words are funny things. Not everyone gets a chance to give them, but David's last words (whether they are what he spoke or his last will and testament, I do not know) are recorded in Chapter 23 for us. The unique thing that differs from other last words in the Old Testament is that David was trying to anticipate the future. It is not a blessing about a person but a prophecy about a kingdom. Chapter 22 looks back upon how Yahweh established the kingdom and chapter 23 looks forward to how Yahweh will consummate the kingdom. David's last words help all of us over come a confidence problem we have with the future and especially Biblical prophecy. Verses 1-7 center around a just ruler that perfectly fears the Lord, which is none other than Jesus Christ Himself, as the Writer gives you 3 characteristics of His final kingdom: Certainty, Attractiveness, and Exclusiveness. As you listen to the sermon I pray that you will start or recommit yourself to see Christ as the center of your confidence in Scripture. May you see Christ as the preeminent figure in your understanding of the future kingdom of God.

Hebrews 11 : Moving from a casual faith to a radical faith: Having certainty of faith even when you have nothing else.
We have become too casual with the truth of the Gospel in our day. This occurs when faith loses its edge. Faith that has lost its edge does not deny truth, it does not outright deny the teachings of scripture or sound theology. But faith that has lost its edge is unable to put these teaching into practice or to step up and slay giants or walk on water. When this happens, faith is reduced to a list of items we believe are true.
