David vs Goliath
Aug 13, 2023 • Pastor Tom Arnould
The story of David versus the giant Goliath is perhaps one of the most famous Bible stories across the world. Even in common conversation, the term "David versus Goliath" has come to represent a smaller individual going against all odds against someone who in normal circumstances would defeat them. In 1 Samuel, this story serves as the inflection point for David's rise in Israel from his humble shepherd origins to his eventual reign as king over the people. The story is a particularly heartening one to read, delivering lessons on courage, spiritual warfare, and the power of words.
