David and Elijah for today

2 very different sermons which have in common that they are both excellently imaginative readings of OT narratives:

Steve Taylor on Elijah and the Widow (1 Kings 17)

Sam Wells on David and Goliath (1 Sam 17)

Please note that being imaginative does not entail ignoring the text but noticing the details that a less imaginative reading might consider irrelevant!
