    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.

    In the story of David and Goliath, we often focus on the miraculous defeat of the giant. However, today we will examine the events leading up to this confrontation and the question David posed to his brother: Is there not a cause? This question remains relevant today, as we face challenges to our ...read more

    In a world filled with daunting challenges, many are too fearful to confront them. David, however, faced a literal giant, despite the fear and criticism from those around him. His question, 'Is there not a Cause?', challenges us to confront our own giants with courage and faith.

    David, the youngest son of Jesse, was sent by his father to bring food to his brothers who were serving in Saul's army. Little did David know that he would encounter a giant named Goliath, who was defying the armies of Israel. While everyone else was filled with fear and hesitation, David boldly ...read more

    The text and story you are all familiar with. Yet, as with all of God’s Word, there is yet another lesson we can learn.

    As you know, Israel was facing the Philistines. David came along. He learned that no one would fight Goliath, who had blasphemed the name of David’s God, and he decided that if no one else would fight him, he would. Illus: Isn’t it good that you always find, among God’s people, those with the ...read more

    Recognizing and overcoming the enemy's tactics of fear, doubt, and condemnation through faith in God.

    Imagine you're facing a nine-foot-tall giant. Scary, right? That's what the Israelites were dealing with in 1 Samuel 17. Goliath was this massive dude who had everyone shaking in their boots.

    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

    Our victory comes from God and we should give Him all the glory. We should also ensure to finish what we start, just like Jesus finished His mission on the cross.

    So, in 1 Samuel 17:40-54, after David takes down Goliath, the Philistines freak out and run away. They had all their hopes pinned on Goliath, and when he went down, they were toast. It's like when your phone dies and you don't have a charger - total panic, right? But this shows us that we shouldn't ...read more
