    Is There Not A Cause? Series

    Contributed by Dave Rajoon on Jan 19, 2007
    based on 24 ratings
     | 70,825 views

    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. Introduction: David was the youngest of the eight sons of Jesse. Three of his brothers served in Saul’s army. There names were Eliab who was the ...read more

    David was passionate for God's glory, familiar with God's faithfulness, dependant upon God's enabling, and sought to proclaim the Name of God.

    God’s command was clear and unmistakable. Although obedience allowed for only one response from Israel, other options were open to them. These same options are available to us today…and with the same consequences.

    GOD’S COMMAND: MAN’S FOUR OPTIONS "And the Lord said to Moses: ’Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward." Exodus 14:15. God’s command was clear and unmistakable.

    David's Victory Speech Series

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 3,348 views

    A rousing speech is very important, and that's what we see in I Samuel 17 with a very young man named David. His speech was exactly what the Israelites needed to hear in their dark hour.

    When it comes to great speeches, Winston Churchill has given some of the greatest. His speeches were often inspiring. On June 4, 1940, he gave a rousing speech to the British Parliament’s House of Commons. Listen to his words: “We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight ...read more
