  1. Lessons fromDavid and Goliath 1 Samuel 17

  2. Lessons from David and Goliath • Fear Debilitates (17:11,24) • We must not be afraid of the opponents of truth and righteousness (1 John 4:4-6; Hebrews 13:5-6; Matthew 10:28-31)

  3. 1 John 4:4-6 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

  4. Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we may boldly say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

  5. Matthew 10:28-31 “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”

  6. Lessons from David and Goliath • Fear Debilitates (17:11,24) • We must not be afraid of the opponents of truth and righteousness (1 John 4:4-6; Hebrews 13:5-6; Matthew 10:28-31) • Is There Not a Cause? (17:26-32) • There is a battle raging for your soul! A cause that is worthy of a fight! (Ephesians 6:10-13; 1 Timothy 6:12; Jude 3-4)

  7. Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

  8. 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

  9. Jude 3-4 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

  10. Lessons from David and Goliath • Fear Debilitates (17:11,24) • We must not be afraid of the opponents of truth and righteousness (1 John 4:4-6; Hebrews 13:5-6; Matthew 10:28-31) • Is There Not a Cause? (17:26-32) • There is a battle raging for your soul! A cause that is worthy of a fight! (Ephesians 6:10-13; 1 Timothy 6:12; Jude 3-4) • Faith is the Victory (17:37,47) • With faith, we overcome! (1 John 5:4; Romans 8:31-39)

  11. 1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

  12. Romans 8:37-39 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  13. Conclusion David trusted God, and his faith enabled him to defeat Goliath. If we trust in and obey Jesus, he will likewise save us! Acts 4:12

  14. Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
