    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

    What Is Faith? Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 23, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,564 views

    What is faith? We see faith worked out in what we call heros of the Old Testament - but they, like us, were stretched and confronted with problems as they learned to trust God.

    Last time we began chapter 11 of Hebrews - the great chapter on faith. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. We learned that faith is believing that God is who He says He is and that He will do what He promised He will do - even though ...read more

    There are multiple spiritual dynamics to suffering that goes beneath the surface.

    What's going on when God's people suffer? Holy Week is about suffering. It is specifically about the suffering of Jesus, but I believe it like the season of Lent is also about our own mortality. It is a time to reflect on our moral place in life and on the humanity of what we endure, waiting for ...read more
