1 Samuel 17:1-11 Whatever giant you are facing today please know that with God it can be conquered.

Introduction 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers…

This is the first Sunday in Lent and is always the case, the primary thing we must address during this penitential season is temptation, and temptation to sin. We must address it because sin is the very reason why we are separated from God. Sin is the very reason why our first parents—Adam and Eve—were…

Perhaps the bravest step of faith we see in the Old Testament happened when the shepherd boy, David, faced the giant, Goliath, with nothing more than a sling and some stones; how does that story help us face giants in our world today?

Lesson 5: King David: From Obscurity 1 Samuel 16-18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.

God Provides a Savior Intro This morning we are going to cover quite possibly my favorite bible story. It’s a story most people have heard before.

We’re finally to that point in 1 Samuel that everyone—and I mean everyone—is familiar with. This is no exaggeration; this isn’t a story only churchy people know. This story has become a favorite way to discuss an underdog scenario. We’ve got ourselves a real “David and Goliath” situation here. Worse…

I want to begin with a fun document I found. Report from the Pastor Search Committee — did you ever wonder how great Bible characters would be rated by a typical church committee?

Tonight’s message, in a way, follows on the heals of this morning’s message. As I mentioned this morning, one of Christ’s goals, during His earthly ministry, was to prepare His disciples for that time when He would no longer be with them. We can see that in Mark 8:31 : And he began to teach them, that…

Trust and Obedience in Jonathan and David. 6 Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised.
