David And Goliath Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

We live in an infinitely more secure and safe environment than our ancestors did. Even though we live, in many ways, in the safest possible world that’s ever existed, all indications are we are still quite anxious and fearful. In fact, we are more anxious; we are more fraught with fears.

We’re doing a short series on courage, entitled Fearless: Possessing a Lionhearted Righteousness. It’s based off of Proverbs 28:1: “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1). Open your Bible to 1 Samuel 17 and bookmark Genesis 12.

David fleeing for his life.

1 SAMUEL 211-15 DAVID. My father loves ‘country’ music. We grew up with it playing in the house constantly, in the car – in fact it seemed to haunt our every move.

David, The Soldier Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 11, 2020

Israel faced an enemy and thought they couldn't possibly defeat them. Goliath was a secret weapon, nearly ten feet tall and full of hatred for Israel. Then came a shepherd boy named David--and the rest is history.

Introduction: David had learned some of the arts of defense by tending his flock of sheep. Lions, bears, and perhaps other predators were always looking for sheep so it was up to the shepherd to protect them. After Samuel had anointed him (to be the future king), David had served Saul in a number ...read more

David The Caveman Series

Contributed by David Owens on Feb 9, 2009

There is much that we can learn from the way David reacts to his circumstances in the cave of Adullam.

Introduction: A. I thought we would start with a little humor from some cartoons I came across this week. 1. “Peter finds his faith much stronger in the winter.” Walking on the water is nothing if the water is frozen! 2. “Another Eskimo baptism gone bad.” The preacher should have kept his ...read more

David's Worship

Contributed by Jehu Hernandez on Jan 20, 2001

David practiced a true, biblical worship of God because he was passionate about God.

Jesus said that the Father is looking for people who would worship Him in spirit and in truth. This type of worship is more than what we now call “praise and worship”. We so often judge a church by their “praise and worship,” as if that is the only barometer to the spiritual health of a church. ...read more
