    Walking In The Light When Darkness Threatens

    Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Dec 6, 2025
     | 273 views

    Darkness surrounds us daily. Fear whispers defeat. Thomas faced death with Jesus. Hagar faced the desert alone. Both learned God walks with those who trust Him.

    WALKING IN THE LIGHT WHEN DARKNESS THREATENS John 11:16 INTRODUCTION: FROM DESPERATION TO DIVINE ENCOUNTER Brothers and sisters, let me take you to a moment of desperation in Scripture. Hagar stood in the wilderness of Beersheba with her son Ishmael. Abraham had sent them away. Their water ran out. ...read more

    I want to take you back in time to a scene of dread and despair. The Israelites and the Philistines are facing off in the Valley of Elah. For forty days, a giant named Goliath has been walking out, challenging the Israelites to a one-on-one battle.

    In real daily life we face many IRRITATIONS and FRUSTRATIONS. These obstacles are opportunities to release miracles. Goliath was David's opportunity to arise.

    Is There Not A Cause?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 353 views

    God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

    As David stood in the Valley of Elah, the battle between Israel and the Philistines was nearing a breaking point. For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more

    To encourage us to focus on God's faithfulness and protection, and face our challenges with courage and trust in Him, just like David did with Goliath.

    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

    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. He's like that big problem you're facing that seems impossible to beat. God tells us in Joshua 1:9, 'Be ...read more

    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

    Today, we're diving into the epic showdown between David and Goliath. We're gonna focus on those five smooth stones David used to take down Goliath and see how God can use what we've got.

    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
