    Live Like There’s No Tomorrow.

    No one in all of Israel wanted to contend with Goliath. His reputation went before him. He’d never lost one battle, because losing meant death. He’d won every time!

    Live Like There’s No Tomorrow. 1 Samuel 17:45-47NKJV On May 25, 1979, Denis Waitly was desperately trying to catch a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles for a speaking engagement. There are easier airports to run through than O'Hara! When he arrived at his gate, they had just closed the jetway. ...read more

    Psalm 34 is a gift from David to us. It gives us a rare and honest glimpse into the heart of a Godly man who was overwhelmed by fear and fatigue and for a moment panicked … just as we are being constantly being overwhelmed and worn down by what seems like a non-stop barrage of bad news lately.

    It seemed like just another day in the sleepy little town of Gath. Merchants selling their wares in the little local market. People standing in front of the shops, discussing the latest news and gossip. Small town folks just going about another typical day … when “they” appeared. Now … any ...read more

    All of us face giants of debt, abuse, rejection, troubled children, battle fears, health issues, habits, failure, or depression. They seem impossible to overcome. But David shows us how to trust in God to save us. Jesus, our Champion, won the victory!

    BECOMING A GIANT KILLER 1 Sam. 17:2-51 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: You have to know…“HOW TO GET HELP” 1. One day Jacob, a Jew living in Russia, slipped on the wet riverbank and fell into the water.

    Today we are going to look at a few verses from Psalm 91, and we are going to go through it a bit at a time so that we can see a reason to trust in God, and we are going to use one person’s point of view of why he sees the security of trusting God.

    God removed David’s fear of the hand of the giant by delivering him from the paw of the lion and paw of the bear. Why Lord would you allow this when others only had to deal with Fox or Wolf? It is because the Lord is preparing you to fight giants that others your age have never fought before.

    1 Samuel 17:31-37 NKJV “Go, and the LORD be with You!” October 22, 2023 Up to this point in history, God had ruled the nation of Israel, raising up judges as they were needed. But the people wanted a king like other nations had! When Saul was chosen to be their king, the people were elated. Saul ...read more

    Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

     | 980 views

    This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.

    Intro A major theme in Romans 4 is faith. Paul is aggressively contending for justification by faith alone. The issue we are currently addressing is the kind of faith Paul has in mind when he uses the word. We know from James 2 that some forms of faith are dead and worthless. We know from Jesus’s ...read more

    The story of David and Goliath is well-known. Little David serves as Israel's champion and defeats Goliath with the help of the Lord. But there is even a bigger Goliath that we face who taunts us every day. So we need a better champion. This is Jesus Christ. For Proper 7 After Pentecost, year B

    Finding Suitable Armor: David Versus Goliath 1 Samuel 17:32–39 NKJV Then David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a ...read more

    The choice of David to be the next king of Israel shows His Sovereignty in action, but also shows that He is a God of Surprises.

    "NOW the Lord said to Samuel, 'How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.' And Samuel said, 'How can I go? If ...read more

    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

    Numbers 13 is about a report brought back by the Israelite spies about the land of Canaan, where they compared themselves to the giants in the land and felt like grasshoppers in their sight, showcasing the crippling effect of fear and lack of faith in pursuing God's promises
