Facing Giants Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 24, 2019

"Facing Giants" from the David and Goliath story in 1 Samuel 17. The point is that our "giants" aren't always what they seem to be and neither are we. With the help of God we are greater than we imagine and the giants are smaller.

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.

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
