As David questioned the lack of bravery among the Israelites, he posed the question: Is there not a reason to stand up? This question is still pertinent today. There is indeed a reason, and we must be prepared to stand up for it.

This question remains relevant today, as we face challenges to our ...read more

David's story teaches us to keep our focus on God above all else. We must recognize the "giants" in our lives and trust that God is bigger and more powerful.
Today, we're gonna dig deep into the story of David. Let's jump into 1 Samuel 17:12-28. David was the youngest in his family, and his job was to look after the sheep. Not exactly glamorous, right? But God didn't care about that. He saw David's heart. Ever felt like you're not taken seriously ...read more
