    David And The Dwarf Series

    Contributed by Timothy Smith on Oct 12, 2002
    based on 100 ratings
     | 15,834 views

    When you study the event of David vs Goliath closely you gain some valuable insight: that the real giant that day was not the one big in stature but the one who was completely sold out to God.

    DAVID AND THE DWARF 1 SAMUEL 17: 1-56 INTRODUCTION: The story of David and Goliath is one of the most popular in all the Bible. It is undoubtedly one of the greatest incidents in the life of this Godly man that we have chosen to study. It was a contrast of incredible proportions. Anybody ...read more

    Contributed by Timothy Smith on Oct 12, 2002
    based on 101 ratings
     | 11,505 views

    David isn’t so much a "Raider," but a "parader" of the lost Ark, and from this episode come some truths for us on obedience and worship.

    PARADERS OF THE LOST ARK 2 SAMUEL 6:1-15 INTRODUCTION: One of my favorite movies is "Raiders of the Lost Ark". It is the first of three films that feature Indiana Jones, in all kinds of high adventure and perilous escapes. “Raiders,” the first of the trilogy, is set during the period of WW II ...read more

    With things changing about us faster than we can imagine, we can remain the same --- strong and steady in Christ.

    Remain In Christ John 8:31-36 In our elementary school chapel service last Sunday, I noted how attentive all the kids were when the object for the children’s message was a pumpkin. There is something about pumpkins that grabs our attention and keeps it. My wife suggests it’s because it only ...read more

    Love That Is Better Than Life Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003
    based on 24 ratings
     | 18,978 views

    Before David was forced into the wilderness he was obsessed with his own comfort and the satisfaction of his own needs. It’s only when everything is taken from him that he becomes obsessed with God Himself, finding full satisfaction in his praise of Him.

    Love That is Better Than Life I came across some actual signs this week. On a plumbing company’s van: “A flush beats a full house!” At a tire shop in Milwaukee: “Invite us to your next blowout!” At a towing company: “We don’t charge an arm and a leg. We want tows.” On a maternity room door: ...read more

     | 4,012 views

    Everyone struggles with purpose, but how should we look for our purpose from God.

    The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD , for the LORD is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD , but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD ...read more

    My great-uncle, Ed Weber, drove an ancient car. I doubt if you’ve ever heard of its brand name. He drove a Terraplane. Anybody remember the Terraplane? Well, dearie, if you do, then you are much older than I, because my great-uncle’s Terraplane was already ancient when I was a boy. It had been ...read more
