Who Do You Think You Are, Goliath? (1 Samuel 17: 1-54)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 22, 2024

One of the unfortunate realities about living in this world is the existence of bullies who intimidate and threaten others. The Bible describes one such bully named Goliath. His threats against Israel and God ceased when he encountered David and one smooth stone.

Bullies have existed in this fallen world ever since Cain killed Abel at the beginning of civilization (Genesis 4:8). However, as the days get darker spiritually and the love of people grows cold (Matthew 24:12; Romans 1:18-32), the problem of bullying is only going to grow like a cancer across ...read more

God Uses Who You Are

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

We need to get rid of the ill-fitting fashion, or armor, that we’ve tried to squeeze into that’s strangling the life out of us. We need to be who we are in Christ, and utilize our own special equipping. This is what David decided was best.

Have you ever felt as though you don’t quite know where God wants to use you, and you often feel awkward where you’re presently serving? Perhaps it’s because you’ve been pushed into an area of service that doesn’t suit how the Lord has made you and equipped you, and who you really are inside. ...read more

Goliath Shall Come Down

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 18, 2022

For many people Goliath spells death, or the end. But for the enlightened child of God, Goliath spells, opportunity, and promotion, and a stepping stone to the next level. Goliath shall come down, and you shall go up, in Jesus name.

This whole chapter will be based on the many powerful revelations of 1Samuel Chapter 17. So let me start by saying, I’ve been hearing a Word in my spirit, and it is this...Goliath shall come down. What do you mean when you say Goliath? Well the first thing I think of when I hear the word Goliath, ...read more

I'm Confident Of That (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 1, 2020

We can view the word confident in a purely negative light. We associate confidence with pride and arrogance, but that's not always the case. There are times where the word is used in a positive way. Let's look at some of them and see what we can take away.

I'M CONFIDENT OF THAT (part one) In the Wed. night study we've been going over verses regarding boasting about tomorrow and making plans for tomorrow but things not going as planned. Sometimes we're too confident that things are going to go a certain way and are blindsided when they ...read more

It Wasn't The Stone — It Was The Anointing! By Pastor Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Jul 23, 2025

Goliath was a mighty warrior, a giant over 9 feet tall, armored with bronze. David was a shepherd boy, inexperienced in war, young. In the natural, David did not stand a chance against Goliath. But David was carrying something that Goliath did not have the anointing of God.
