Communicating the Gospel through Christological Typology in the Pentateuch at First Baptist Church, Mayfield, Kentucky

Abstract

This project communicated the Gospel through Christological typology in the Pentateuch at First Baptist Church, Mayfield, Kentucky. I accomplished this project by preaching an eight-week sermon series and comparing pre and post-sermon series questionnaires administered to a representative panel of 10 regularly attending members. Three goals guided the project. The first goal was to assess the congregation’s pre-sermon series knowledge of Christological typology in the Pentateuch. The second goal was to develop sermon outlines to communicate Christological typology in the Pentateuch. The third goal was to preach an eight-week sermon series to proclaim Christological typology in the Pentateuch. A paired sample two-tailed t-test on the data from the pre and post-sermon series questionnaires determined the effectiveness of the sermon series. Based on the panel’s responses, the sermon series made a statistically significant difference in the congregation’s understanding of Christological typology in the Pentateuch.
