    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

So let me start by saying, I’ve been hearing a Word in my spirit, and it is this...Goliath shall come down. What do you mean when you say Goliath?
