What is typology? How can we use it responsibly in Bible study?

Summary

The sermon explores typology, explaining it as patterns and individuals in the Old Testament foreshadowing Christ. Key examples discussed include Adam as a contrasting type of Christ, the Exodus mirroring Christ's journey, and Joseph's life reflecting Christ's suffering and resurrection. The practical takeaway is to responsibly understand typology by beginning with the New Testament's explicit connections to the Old Testament, rather than making assumptions.
