Sunday, we are going to jump back into our Stories of His Power sermon series by looking at one of the most familiar stories in all of the Bible. David and Goliath. For many of us, this is one of the first Bible lessons that we learned as a child. But it is our familiarity with this story that can keep us from seeing the real lessons of faith that this story relays. We know the characters of the story, and we maybe even know their background. In David, we see a man after God’s own heart. In Saul, we see a man after the world’s heart. In Israel, we see a people pursuing the world. But in Goliath, do we realize that we see an outsider to the nation of Israel get inside of God’s people’s hearts and reveal through a question what it was that was keeping them from being men and women after God’s heart? I would invite you to prepare your hearts for this worship gathering by reading 1st Samuel 16 & 17.
