Amazing Stories - David and Goliath
Joey Rodgers
1 Samuel 17
Good AM. I hope you've had a wonderful summer. Can you believe that in just a few days life will get back to normal?
I don't know about you, but I've enjoyed being all together throughout the summer. I've especially enjoyed hearing the other pastors teach God's Word. Didn't they do a great job? I am so thankful that God has blessed our church w/ men of God who believe and strive to live His Word.
As a reminder, next Sunday everything goes back to our normal schedule. So if you've been visiting over the summer that means we will have a worship service and Bible study offered at 9 AM and then everyone swaps at 10:30 AM.
Today I have the privilege of closing out this series of messages while setting forth the focus of our church for the next year. To accomplish this feat, we're going to look at one of my favorite stories of the O.T. If you have your Bibles, turn to 1 Samuel 17 as we're going to look at the story of David and Goliath and the idea of BELIEVE.
What does it mean to believe? To believe is more than just acknowledging - it is faith in action. All true belief requires activity. Belief requires that we put our money where our mouth is. It requires hope in another person. (Trust Fall)
In 1952, a young woman named Florence Chadwick attempted to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast in an attempt to set a record for the longest swim. As she entered the water that AM, a heavy fog settled over the water. Blinded by the dense fog, she became disoriented and discouraged to the point that she gave up. When her escorts in a boat beside her helped her out of the water Florence discovered she was less than 300 yards from her goal. Her only words after learning how close she actually came were - ''All I could see was hopeless.''
When we arrive in the Valley of Elah in 1 Samuel 17, we find the Israelite/Philistine armies encamped on opposite sides of a vast canyon prepar ...
