    We all know well the story of David and Goliath; it’s one we grew up with from Sunday School. It’s a story which catches a popular vein. It’s the story of the underdog winning, winning against the seeming odds. We probably all have some feeling for the underdog, say in a sporting event, and enjoy ...read more

    There are giants stalking the land and many people are too afraid to take up the challenge to stand and fight. David faced a giant one day and while everyone cowered and his brothers berated him, David asked: "Is there not a Cause?"

    BIG IDEA: Giants are stalking the land but the church seems to be burying its head in the sand. We must get up and fight because there is a cause.

The shock ran up to his elbow as his fingers played on the rocky bottom looking for the perfect stones. Yes there was one and another, and one more, no that one wasn’t quite right. ...read more
