Fight, Fight, Fight!
Every believer faces battles that seem overwhelming — fear, temptation, discouragement, or spiritual opposition. In this message by Pastor Snook, we revisit the familiar account of David and Goliath from 1 Samuel 17 and discover timeless truths about confronting the giants in our lives. While Israel saw only the size and strength of the enemy, David saw the power and faithfulness of God. His courage was not rooted in confidence in himself, but in confidence in the Lord of hosts.
Pastor's sermon explores how giants gain advantage through fear and repetition, how perspective shapes our response to challenges, and why God’s battles must be fought God’s way. David refused Saul’s armor, choosing instead to trust the tools and experiences God had already given him. Remembering past victories strengthened his faith for the present battle.
Ultimately, the victory was the Lord’s. David ran toward the giant, declaring that the battle belonged to God, and the enemy fell. This message challenges believers to stop retreating to the mountainside, step into the valley by faith, and answer David’s question: “Is there not a cause?” When God becomes bigger than the giant, courage rises and faith leads to victory.
