Everyone knows this story: Little David slays the Big Goliath! But their relative size isn’t what’s important here. It’s the heart vs. the head!
Re-telling a well-known story
· The challenge of Goliath: Why did it happen?
A chastened army…looking for an edge!
· The response of Saul and his army
Forgetting about ‘God + 1’ – and finding fear!
· A Family Feud: Eliab’s belittling rebuke
‘Looking good’ vs. defeating evil
· Saul sends David to fight Goliath
But David can’t use Saul’s armor
· David kills Goliath; the Philistines run!
The shepherd singer ‘rocks’ the undefeated champion
The ‘Heart’ vs. the ‘Head’
· The ‘head’ says David doesn’t have a chance!
How often does our ‘head’ tell us the wrong thing?
· The ‘heart after God’ reveals unseen sources of strength!
Discovering God’s hidden resources
…the battle is the Lord’s…
1 Samuel 17:47 (NAS)
