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)
