How (NOT) to Read Old Testament Stories 

Narrative, i.e., stories, is the most common form of literature in the Bible. And there are some exciting and even wild stories in the Old Testament. But how do those stories apply to our life? 

The New Testament affirms that they're written for our benefit. 

Romans 15:4 "For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope."

1 Corinthians 10:6 and 11

"Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they indeed craved them."

"Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come."

But how do they instruct us? How can we read Old Testament stories faithfully as the people of God today?
