DO YOU WANT TP SEE GOD WORK

WHO OR WHAT IS STANDING IN DEFIANCE OF YOUR FAITH IN GOD?

- That is your Goliath

YOUR GOLIATH IS: anything, anyone or any affection that stands in difiance of the honor and glory of God

It is seeing challenges as confronting the truthfulness of God to you and to his people

Faith is believing in God and ahis mission in the world through the you and the church

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
