    This morning we’re going to be in 1 Samuel 17. The Lord has really been ministering to me about some things in 1 Samuel 12, 16 and 17. 1 Samuel 17 is the story of David and Goliath. But it’s really a story about how the enemy of the soul attacks the Body of Christ. We’re going to look at that ...read more

This is the story of the anointing of David, the king of Israel. The setting begins with King Saul. Saul took leadership ...read more
