David takes on Goliath

What are you going to do for Jesus?

The Preparation

The best way to deal with your own Goliaths is to be prepared

Grow in your passion for Jesus and you won’t lose sight of him

Don’t put your trust in the things of this world

“God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised

things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are.”

1 Corinthians 1:27-28

The Preparation

The best way to deal with your own Goliaths is to be prepared

Grow in your passion for Jesus and you won’t lose sight of him

Don’t put your trust in the things of this world

Consider your eternal reward

The Battle

Take courage!

Don’t be surprised if things get worse before they get better

You’re wasting your time!

You’re irresponsible!

You have a bad character!

You’re not serious!

It can’t be done!You’re the

wrong age!

The Battle

Take courage!

Don’t be surprised if things get worse before they get better

Hit the enemy with the promises of God

the world.”1 John 4:4

“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not

leave you or forsake you.”Joshua 1:5

“The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us

the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
