Message of the week.
You can pick Goliath's head
I find most people fear their situation whilst they are in the presence of God.
HEAD IN HAND: DAVID AND GOLIATH
Don’t you love when Scripture comes to life in a new way . . . especially when you have read the story a thousand times?
While studying 1 Samuel 17 the conversation “steered off ” as to why David cut off Goliath’s head after striking him down. David needed to make sure the giant was officially DEAD. And, I will say, cutting off a head will sure stop a doubt.
The “giants” we face today come in many forms. They can be people, broken dreams, fear, anger, addiction, divorce, or disappointment. And how many times have we just “stunned” these giants, fully thinking defeat, but only coming to realize they have only been in a sub-conscience state. We, too, need PROOF. We need to make sure to “cut off their heads” . . . making sure they are DEAD. I know this is kind of morbid, but with head in hand, we can know our giant is defeated once and for all.
What is the PROOF that a giant is dead?
For Jesus, it was the resurrection. The living PROOF that Christ conquered death and sin, rose from the grave, and witnessed to many.
For David, it was remembering the past faithfulness of God. The living PROOF that God rescued him when fighting against the bear and lion. This proof of God’s grace gave him more determination to fight again for the Lord, against a larger giant.
For Moses, it was watching fear be defeated and seeing the Red Sea part before his eyes. The living PROOF that God was leading them out of Egypt and was faithful to His promises.
For Joseph, it was conquering hurt and anger as he witnessed his family again. The living PROOF that forgiveness covers the blame Joseph could have had for his brothers for selling him into slavery.
For me, it’s conquering the unknown and stepping into ministry. The living PROOF that God is in control . . . through circumstances, words of encouragement, emails, and answered prayers.
What about you????? We need answer not question mark
Finish the line.
Friday and Sunday service, come and get your answer. The message is for you. You want a stone, a sword, wisdom, strength, courage, confidence, dress code, power and vision.
