1. David volunteers to fight Goliath, the giant Philistine champion who has been taunting the Israelites.
2. King Saul tries to convince David not to fight, saying he is too young, but David recalls killing both a lion and bear as a shepherd.
3. David refuses Saul's armor and weapons, saying he will fight Goliath in God's name with just his sling.
Why was the battle stalled 40 days (17:16)? Why didn’t Goliath or Saul’s army attack earlier? How does this apply to us? Why did David reject Saul’s armor (17:39)? If Goliath was such an intimidating giant then why did he wear so much armor? David asked “Is there not a cause?” (29) What “causes” confront us as Christians that demand us to engage the enemy? How had David’s experience as a shepherd prepared him to face Goliath? How has God prepared you to defeat your giants?
Identify a giant in your life. What lessons have you learned from David & Goliath that give you a strategy for defeating your giant?
Goliath, a mountain of a giant, and the Philistine army confront Israel's army. King Saul and the Israelite army are paralyzed with fear. "Out of nowhere" a young David appears on the scene. David sees what nobody else sees. He volunteers to take on Goliath in a winner-take-all battle for the fate of the nation.

Have you ever needed strength, courage, or boldness to face your fears, trials, or the approaching enemy? It is easy to get overwhelmed by the things in this life that you cannot control. It is a fact that through this life we will have trials of many kinds that remain outside our control but we do not have to be afraid nor do we have to live in defeat because the Lord has given us a Spirit of Courage not of Fear. God promises that victory is found not by relying on the strength of man or the power of human will rather it is found through this power, provision, and protection. It through the Lord alone that you become UNSHAKABLE in the midst of Changing Times! Based on 1 Samuel 17 the audio portion of this message available at www.stevegedon.com

40 Days and 40 Nights_Jesus our ChampionStephen Palm
We have seen that one of the greatest weaknesses of God’s people is that they consistently feared giants. They feared entering the Promised Land because it was filled with giants. And in 1 Samuel we see that their descendants are paralyzed for 40 days and 40 nights as a giant named Goliath, taunted God’s people and extinguished their faith in God’s might, until a young man, the runt of his father’s litter, came with the heart of Joshua and Caleb. Where others saw a 9-foot colossus of a man, David saw an uncircumcised Philistine not deserving of having his name mentioned. David becomes Israel’s champion and slays Goliath. 1000 years later, David’s direct descendant, Jesus, came to slay the Goliath of our sin. Whereas David used the unlikely weapon of a sling and 5 smooth stones, Jesus wielded an even more unlikely weapon. He slayed our sin wielding a rugged cross upon which he died. But he became more than a martyr. He rose from the dead and became God’s champion who defeated both sin and death.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Israel is set up to fight a war with the Philistines.
But they have a champion who defied Israel.
40 days - morning and evening.
This day, David is
on the battlefield.
He was interested
in fighting Goliath.
Saul sent for him.
2
3. 33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go
against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art
but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
That was good logic, but is logic good?
Human logic is the devil's stronghold.
That is where he plants all the wrong thoughts:
Pride, lust, doubt, and fear.
We must speak and hear and hearken to the
Word of God.
3
4. 34 And David said unto Saul,
Thy servant kept his father's
sheep, and there came a lion,
and a bear, and took a lamb out
of the flock: 35 And I went out
after him, and smote him, and
delivered it out of his mouth:
and when he arose against me,
I caught him by his beard, and
smote him, and slew him.
4
5. 36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and
this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of
them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living
God. 37 David said moreover, The Lord that
delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of
the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the
hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David,
Go, and the Lord be with thee.
5
6. 38 And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an
helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with
a coat of mail. 39 And David girded his sword upon his
armor, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it.
And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I
have not proved them. And David put them off him.
(TLB) 38-39 Then Saul gave David his own armor -- a
bronze helmet and a coat of mail. David put it on,
strapped the sword over it, and took a step or two to
see what it was like, for he had never worn such things
before. "I can hardly move!" he exclaimed, and took
them off again.
6
7. 40 And he took his staff in
his hand, and chose him five
smooth stones out of the
brook, and put them in a
shepherd's bag which he
had, even in a scrip; and his
sling was in his hand: and
he drew near to the
Philistine.
7
8. 41 And the Philistine came on
and drew near unto David; and
the man that bare the shield
went before him.
Goliath had on full body armor,
and even had a man carrying a
shield before him.
8
9. 42 And when the Philistine
looked about, and saw
David, he disdained him:
for he was but a youth, and
ruddy, and of a fair
countenance. 43 And the
David didn't look like
Philistine said unto David,
much of a warrior.
Am I a dog, that thou
comest to me with staves? But God was with him
And the Philistine cursed to fight for him.
David by his gods.
9
10. 44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me,
and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air,
and to the beasts of the field. 45 Then said David to
the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword,
and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to
thee in the Name of the Lord of hosts, the God of
the armies of Israel, Whom thou hast defied.
Goliath thought he was defying an army of
men, but it was much more than that.
Don't challenge God; you will lose!
10
11. 46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine
hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head
from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host
of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air,
and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth
may know that there is a God in Israel.
David was speaking in the Name of God
Almighty, and moving in the Power of
God's Holy Spirit.
11
12. 47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord
saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is
the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands.
You know that God is fighting for you.
You can't lose, and you can't fail.
12
13. 48 And it came to pass, when
the Philistine arose, and
came and drew nigh to meet
David, that David hasted,
and ran toward the army to
meet the Philistine.
Faith in God runs
eagerly to the battle.
13
14. 49 And David put his hand in his
bag, and took thence a stone, and
slang it, and smote* the Philis-
tine in his forehead, that the
stone sunk into his forehead; and
he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed* over the
Philistine with a sling and with a
stone, and smote the Philistine,
and slew him; but there was no
sword in the hand of David.
14
15. 51 Therefore David ran, and
stood upon the Philistine,
and took his sword, and
drew it out of the sheath
thereof, and slew him, and
cut off his head therewith.
And when the Philistines
saw their champion was
dead, they fled.
15
16. 52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and
shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou
come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And
the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the
way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing
after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
David defeated the devil in the Name of God.
The Philistines are running in fear.
16
17. 54 And David took the head
of the Philistine, and
brought it to Jerusalem; but
he put his armor in his tent.
17
18. 55-56 And when Saul saw David go forth against the
Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host,
Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As
thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. And the king
said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is.
David has grown a lot since last
he was in the king's court;
They may not recognize him.
For sure, they want to know his family.
18
19. 57 And as David returned from
the slaughter of the Philistine,
Abner took him, and brought
him before Saul with the head
of the Philistine in his hand.
58 And Saul said to him,
Whose son art thou, thou
young man? And David
answered, I am the son of thy
servant Jesse the
Bethlehemite.
19
20. Let not the strong man glory in his strength, nor the
armed man in his armor. God resists the proud, and
pours contempt on those who defy Him and His
people. No one ever hardened his heart against
God and prospered.
Matthew Henry Concise Bible Commentary.
Don't have the nerve to go against God.
Have the courage to obey Him in all things.
Live your life His Way.
