     | 4,008 views

    Sometimes you got to be ruthlessly aggressive in what you want to do! Focus has to be sharp like the eyes of an eagle! Undivided attention!

    Ruthlessly aggressive! 1 Samuel 17:29”But David said, "What have I done now? Was it not just a question?" 30 Then he turned away from him to another and said the same thing…” Sometimes you got to be ruthlessly aggressive in what you want to do! Focus has to be sharp like the ...read more

    When God chooses a man, He will present that man with an opportunity to vindicate his call before men. David is called by God, but that call is private until God brings him to the surface. Goliath becomes that means of public exposure for David.

    Is There Not A Cause?

    As David stood in bewilderment of the lack of courage among the men of Israel, he asked the question: Is there not a cause? This question remains relevant today. Surely you will agree there is a cause, and we must be willing to stand.

    Is There Not a Cause? I Samuel 17: 17-29 Often this chapter is preached in light of David’s miraculous defeat of the mighty giant, Goliath. That is a wonderful testimony to the presence and power of the God we serve; but today I want to look at the events that led up to David’s ...read more
