Facing the Giants, 1 Samuel 17

September 28, 2014 Leave a Comment

Osmar Schindler David und Goliath

Introduction

Text: 1 Samuel 17 – David and Goliath.

The Philistines had greater numbers, as well as more advanced weaponry.

How does David point to Christ?

  • He faithfully cared for the sheep.
  • He was sent by his father – and obeyed.
  • He provided bread for his brothers.
  • He was the representative who fought on behalf of the nation.
  • He did what no one else could do.
  • He was an unlikely victor.
  • He prevailed in an unlikely way.

When the going gets tough…

  • Identity the right motivation.
  • Root your identity in God.
    1. Don’t allow personal hurt to derail you.
    2. Commit to doing what is right – regardless of opposition.
    3. Adjust your priorities to correspond to your identity.
  • Consider the true nature of the conflict.
  • Resist the temptation to depend on human effort and ingenuity.
