IT SAYS THERE'S A 
MILLION REASONS TO TRUST YOU 
THAT DAVID WROTE SO MANY TIMES 
HE ASKED THE LORD TO TAKE CARE 
OF HIS ENEMIES TO PROTECT HIM 
FROM HIS ENEMIES. TO DO A LOT OF
THINGS TO HIS ENEMIES AND 
THERE'S A LOT IN THE 23RD SONG 
THAT SAYS YOU PREPARED A TABLE 
FOR ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY 
ENEMIES AND BASICALLY HE'S 
SAYING YOU'VE INVITED ME TO SIT 
DOWN  AT THIS FEAST WITH MY 
ENEMIES. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU 
BUT I DON'T WANT TO SIT DOWN AT 
A TABLE WITH MY ENEMIES.
CHRISTIAN INVITATION TO SHOW HOW
SPECIAL HE IS TO THE LORD THAT 
HE WOULD SIT WITH HIS OUT OF ME 
SO THIS PLACE OF HONOR.
SAME INVITATION TO SIT BEFORE 
OUR ENEMIES IN THE EYES OF THE 
LORD WITH THIS SPECIAL PLACE OF 
HONOR.
.
IT'S SO  
.
IN THE SONG.
.
THIS IS HOW I THOUGHT  THIS 
ES THIS IS HOW I FIGHT MY 
BATTLES.
CAN LOOK UP 
UP WITH ME AND YOUR MOM.
THIS IS HOW I FIGHT MY BATTLES.
SPONGEBOB.
SPIDER-MAN LOOK LIKE I'M 
SURROUNDED BUT I'M SURROUNDED BY
YOU.
SPIDER-MAN .
PICTURES 
OF STAR .
.
YOU'RE ALWAYS WITH YOU JUST LIKE
DAVID. IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR 
ENEMIES WOULD WE KNOW THAT WE 
ARE INVITED TO SIT AT THE TABLE.
WOULD WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE 
ACCESS TO THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT 
LORD THAT RAISED OUR SAVIOR FROM
THE GRAVE. GOD WE HAVE THE PLACE
OF HONOR.
WHAT DO WE KNOW IT.
IN  YOUR SON'S PERFECT NAME WE 
PRAY.
BUCKET BOARDING CHURCH IN PERSON
AND ONLINE WE'RE SO EXCITED TO 
BE WORSHIPING TOGETHER AND I 
JUST LOVE THE SONG WE JUST SANG 
THAT WE FIGHT OUR BATTLES AND 
SOMETIMES YOU FEEL LIKE WE'RE 
SURROUNDED BUT THE REALITY IS 
THAT GOD IS RIGHT THERE WITH US 
AND THAT IS A GREAT SETUP FOR 
THE SERMON THAT WE'RE GOING TO 
BE HAVING TODAY OUR TIME IN THE 
WORLD WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING 
ABOUT TRUST GOING TO TALKIN 
ABOUT TRUST IF YOU GUYS HAVEN'T 
MET ME BEFORE MY NAME IS MIKE 
JUDGE ON THE ADULT MINISTRIES 
PASTOR HERE AT WESTGATE AND I 
GET THE PRIVILEGE OF WALKING 
THROUGH OUR PASSAGE TOGETHER 
TODAY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
TRUST IS DEFINED AS A FIRM 
BELIEF AND THE CHARACTER 
STRENGTHS OR TRUTH OF SOMEONE OR
SOMETHING THE FIRM BELIEF IN THE
CHARACTER STRENGTHS OR TRUTH OF 
SOMEONE R SOMETHING IS HAVING 
THAT CONFIDENCE. AND WE LIVE IN 
A WORLD TODAY WHERE IT'S 
BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER FOR 
MANY PEOPLE TO PUT THEIR TRUST 
AND THINKS RIGHT 2020 HAS BEEN A
ROUGH YEAR WHEN IT COMES TO 
TRUST FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK 
ABOUT SOME OF THE BIG CATEGORIES
I THINK IT'S IT'S PRETTY EASY TO
CUT IT COME TO THAT CONCLUSION 
THAT THE LIGHT AND EASY ONE YOU 
KNOW POLITICS RIGHT THAT'S NOT 
LIGHTING EASY BUT I'M NOT GOING 
TO MAKE TOO MANY COMMENTS BUT I 
THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT IN 
THE MIDST OF ALL THIS LIKE 
INCREASED THIS MORE CHARGED 
ATMOSPHERE THAT WE'RE FACING 
AROUND THIS POLITICAL LANDSCAPE 
I THINK THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ARE 
BEGINNING TO STRUGGLE WITH TRUST
AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN FOR 
CERTAIN PIECES OF ALL OF THAT 
AND THAT'S IT THAT'S THE THING 
THAT I HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHAT 
ABOUT SCIENCE AND MEDICINE RIGHT
THIS YEAR HAS BEEN CONFUSING ONE
BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH 
DIFFERENT DATA ABOUT COVID-19 
AND WHAT'S GOING ON AND IT'S 
KIND OF GOT TO THE POINT THAT A 
LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T SURE WHAT 
SOURCES THAT THEY COULD  BE 
TRUSTING IN THE MIDST OF IT. HOW
ABOUT PUBLIC FIGURES AND 
CELEBRITIES RIGHT OR JUST 
INFLUENCERS IN THE WORLD AROUND 
US WE GOT PEOPLE IT FEELS LIKE 
EVERY FEW WEEKS WE HEAR ANOTHER 
NEWS REPORT THAT FITS SOME 
PERSON THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK
UP TO HAVE SOME SORT OF DARK AND
TERRIBLE THING THAT THEY'VE BEEN
HIDING OR THAT IS A PART OF 
THEIR LIVES AND THAT'S COMES OUT
AND IT'S I THINK IT'S HURTING 
SOME OF THE TRUST THAT PEOPLE 
HAVE AND OTHERS AND IT'S 
BECOMING LESS AND LESS SHOCKING 
EVERY TIME AND THEN HERE'S ONE 
THAT'S REALLY CLOSE TO HOME FOR 
PROBABLY EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM 
AND THAT IS THIS WHOLE REALITY 
OR IN A WORLD WHERE THERE'S A 
LOT OF SCAMS OUT THERE RIGHT 
TELEPHONE CALLS EMAILS PEOPLE 
FRIENDING US ON FACEBOOK 
WHATEVER IT IS WE'RE INUNDATED 
WITH SCAMS LEFT AND RIGHT FROM 
PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO TAKE 
ADVANTAGE OF US IT'S ALMOST TO 
THE POINT I KNOW AT LEAST FOR ME
I'M SPEAKING BUT OTHER PEOPLE I 
KNOW WHERE IT'S LIKE IF I DON'T 
KNOW WHO THE PERSON IS 
CONTACTING ME I'M LIKE ALREADY 
ON EDGE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF 
I CAN TRUST THEM AND I THINK THE
WORLD IS BECOMING A LITTLE BIT 
HARDER TO TRUST IN A LOT OF 
CASES AND BECAUSE THIS LACK OF 
TRUST SEEMS TO BE GROWING I NK 
IT'S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAT 
WE. WHEN IS SUNDAY PROCESSING 
WHERE WE ARE ALL AT WITH 
TRUSTING GOD BECAUSE OUR TRUST 
IN GOD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN 
ANYTHING ELSE IN OUR LIVES AND 
HE'S THE ONE THING THAT WE CAN 
NEVER WE DON'T EVER NEED TO STOP
TRUSTING DON'T THINK WE CAN 
ALWAYS RELY ON IT SO TODAY WE'RE
GOING TO BE CONTINUING ON IN THE
SERIES ON CHASING THE HEART OF 
GOD RIGHT 
AND IT'S A AND IT'S A FUN ONE 
DAVID AND GOLIATH. KEEP IT 
RATHER THAN JUST FOCUSING IN ON 
SOME OF THE FAMILIAR PIECES AND 
HIGHLIGHTS AND A LOT OF US KNOW 
WHAT I WANT TO DO RIGHT NOW I 
WANT TO DO TWO THINGS AS WE 
APPROACH THIS MESSAGE TOGETHER 
FIRST I WANT US TO JUST FOCUSING
ON THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE 
GOING THROUGH THE STORY RIGHT I 
THINK SOMETIMES IT'S KIND OF 
JUMPED INTO THE KEY PART BUT I 
WANTS TO REALLY TRY TO PUT 
YOURSELF IN THE SHOES OF THE 
PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED AND KIND
OF WALK THROUGH THIS WITH THEM 
TO GO THROUGH THE SECOND THING I
WANT US TO REALLY HONE IN AS WE 
READ ON THE TOPIC OF TRUST AND 
HOW THAT'S INTERACTING WITH THE 
DIFFERENT PIECES OKAY SO THOSE 
ARE KIND OF FOCUS IS THIS WE GO 
AND THEN AFTER WE'RE DONE WITH 
THE STORY WE'RE GOING TO GET 
REALLY PERSONAL AND REALLY 
PRACTICAL ABOUT HOW THIS IMPACTS
OUR LIVES IN THE DAY-TO-DAY 
BASIS COMMUNION AND SO IF YOU'RE
HERE AND YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR 
COMMUNITY  IT'S JUST ANOTHER 
REMINDER 2 TO GRAB THEM IF 
YOU'RE AT HOME AND JUST HAVE 
THOSE READY BUT ALSO OUR SERMON 
NOTES THIS MORNING ARE  GOING TO
BE EXTRA IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE'RE
GONNA. WRAP UP THE SERMON WITH A
RESPONSE ACTIVITY OKAY EVEN IF 
YOU'RE AT HOME RIGHT NOW I WOULD
JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET OUT OF
THE PHONE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
HAVE THAT AT LEAST IN FRONT OF 
YOU SO YOU CAN SEE BY THE 
CONTENT FROM OUR WESTGATE 
CHAPEL. ORG LIVE STREAM PAGE AND
SO JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT 
QUICKLY HERE UNTIL WHAT'S JUMPED
IN NOW FOR GOING TO BE IN 1ST 
SAMUEL CHAPTER 17 VERSES 1 
THROUGH 54 WE'RE GOING TO WALK 
THROUGH THIS PASSAGE AND 
BRIGADIER READING FROM THE CSB 
THE CHRISTIAN STANDARD BIBLE 
TODAY FROM THE ESV WHAT'S A 
LITTLE BIT MORE WITHERELL BUT I 
JUST THOUGHT HOW TREATABLE AND 
KIND OF FLUID THIS PASSAGES WILL
STILL BEING QUITE ACCURATE IN SO
I'M EXCITED TO USE THAT ONE MIX 
IT UP THIS MORNING AND SET UP 
FOR THE STORY IF YOU HAVEN'T 
HEARD IT BEFORE THIS IS NEW TO 
YOU IT IS WE'RE GOING TO BE 
FOLLOWING THE STORY OF THE 
NATION OF ISRAEL THOSE ARE THE 
GOOD GUYS AND SAW IS THE KING OF
ISRAEL AT THIS TIME AND HE'S 
KIND OF WEEDING THEM IN BATTLE 
AND IN THE SETUP IS THAT THE 
PHILISTINE ARMY HAS COME TO COME
TO FIGHT AND CONQUER AND EVEN 
ENSLAVE E ISRAELITES INTO A 
SOLID WHOSE ARMY OR COME IN. THE
HEAD WITH THE PHILISTINE ARMY. 
GO RCH READ VERSES 1 THROUGH 3. 
THE PHILISTINES GATHER THEIR 
FORCES FOR WAR AT SOCO IN JUDAH 
& TEMPERATURE IN SOCO AND A ZIKA
IN FS DIAMOND SAUL IN THE MEN OF
ISRAEL GATHERED AND CAMPED IN 
THE VALLEY OF LAW AND THEY WIND 
UP IN BATTLE FORMATION TO FACE 
THE PHILISTINES THE PHILISTINES 
WERE STANDING ON ONE HILL AND 
THE ISRAELITES WERE STANDING ON 
ANOTHER HILL 
WITH A RAVINE BETWEEN THEM 
TAKING PLACE RIGHT WE GOT ONE 
HELL OVER HERE WE GOT ONE HELL 
OVER HERE WE GOT TWO ARMIES ON A
CHILL KIND OF LOOKING AT EACH 
OTHER AND BATTLE FORMATIONS WITH
A VALUE OF A RAVINE IN THE 
MIDDLE AND IT JUST LIKE YOU CAN 
ALMOST FEEL THE TENSION IN THE 
AIR AND IT'S GOT A PICTURESQUE 
MOMENT OF COMBAT THAT'S ABOUT TO
ENSUE BUT BEFORE THEY START 
FIGHTING SOMEBODY'S GOING TO 
STEP FORWARD RD FROM THE 
PHILISTINE ARMY SWEDEN VERSE 4 
THROUGH 7. CHAMPION NAMED 
GOLIATH FROM GAS CAME OUT FROM 
THE PHILISTINE CAMP HE WAS 9 FT 
9 INCHES TALL AND WORE A BRONZE 
HELMET AND A BRONZE STEEL ARMOR 
THAT WEIGHT AROUND A HUNDRED AND
TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS THERE WAS 
BRONZE ARMOR ON HIS SHINS AND A 
BRONZE JAVELIN WAS SWUNG BETWEEN
THE SHOULDERS HIS SPEAR SHAFT 
WAS LIKE A WEAVER'S BEAM AND THE
IRON POINT OF A SPHERE WEIGHED 
15 POUNDS IN ADDITION THE SHIELD
BEARER WAS WALKING IN FRONT OF 
HIM AND THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT 
I WANT TO POINT OUT IN THESE 
HORSES RIGHT THE FIRST THING IS 
JUST THAT GOLIATH WAS HUGE RIGHT
I TRIED TO FIND SOMETHING THAT 
WAS 9 FOOT 9 ON THE STAGE WITH 
THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT DOESN'T 
EXIST RIGHT THAT'S ACTUALLY CAME
OVER HERE AND I MEASURED THAT 
PIECE OF STAGE DESIGN BEHIND ME 
WHAT YOU CAN SEE IT'S LIKE 
RADICAL TALLER THAN I AM AND 
THIS IS ONLY 832 PICTURE AND A 
FOOT-AND-A-HALF TALLER THAN THAT
PIECE OF 
STAGE GN IS WOW BIG GOLIATHUS TO
SOMEONE. IS THAT SIZE AND JUST 
THINKING ABOUT THAT CONCEPT OF 
FIGHTING THEM LIKE THIS WAS THIS
WAS JUST CRAZY RIGHT AND HE HAS 
ALL THIS ARMOR THAT WEIGHED SO 
MUCH AND IT'S JUST YOU CAN 
DEFINITELY ASSUME THAT THIS GUY 
WAS VERY STRONG TO CARRY IT TO 
USE ALL THESE WEAPONS AND ARMOR 
THAT HE HAS IN ITS SECOND THING 
I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT THIS
MIGHT BE THE MOST DETAILED 
DESCRIPTION OF SOMEBODY IN THE 
ENTIRE BIBLE LIKE IS THAT 
INTERESTING THAT IF WE THINK 
THROUGH THE BIBLE THERE'S 
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TIME 
DESCRIBING WHAT PEOPLE LOOK LIKE
WITH THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE OF 
THE LARGEST CERTAINLY IT IS ONE 
OF THE LARGEST MAYBE YOU ARE 
JUST A MOST INVOLVED DESCRIPTION
OF A HUMAN BEING THAT WE SEE IN 
THE TEXT AND I THINK IT'S WORTH 
NOTING 
. YOU SHOULDN'T SHOUT IT TO THE 
ISRAELITE BATTLE FORMATIONS DO I
HAVE TO SPEAK IN HERE WHY DO YOU
COME OUT TO LINE UP IN BATTLE 
FORMATION HE ASKED THEM AM I NOT
A PHILISTINE ARE YOU NOT 
SERVANTS OF SAW ONE OF YOUR MEN 
AND HAVE THEM COME DOWN AGAINST 
ME IF HE WINS IN A FIGHT AGAINST
ME AND KILLS ME WE WILL BE YOUR 
SERVANTS BUT IF I WIN AGAINST 
HIM AND KILL HIM THEN YOU WILL 
BE OUR SERVANTS AND SERVE IN THE
PHILISTINE SAID I DEFY THE RANKS
OF ISRAEL TODAY SEND ME A MAN SO
WE CAN FIGHT EACH OTHER WHEN 
SAUL AND ALL ISRAEL HEARD THESE 
WORDS FROM THE PHILISTINE THEY 
WASH THEIR COURAGE AND WE'RE 
TERRIFIED. TOOK A WIFE COMES AND
HE TAUNTS THEN HE SAYS I WANT TO
FIGHT SOMEBODY IN SINGLE COMBAT 
NOW THAT THERE WAS AN ADVANTAGE 
HERE FOR BOTH ARMIES SINGLE 
COMBATS NICE BECAUSE THERE'S WAY
LESS CASUALTIES AND IF EVERYBODY
ACTUALLY FIGHT EACH OTHER RIGHT 
TO THIS WAS SOMEWHAT ATTRACTIVE 
OFFER NORMALLY TIME TO THINK 
ABOUT AT LEAST ONE MAN VERSUS 
ANOTHER MAN FAR AS CASUALTIES 
BUT I THINK IT'S PARTICULARLY 
BECAUSE THEY GOT GOLIATH IS 
THERE 
PERSON FEELING PRETTY CONFIDENT 
RIGHT NOW THAT IF THEY'RE GOING 
TO COME OUT AHEAD AND SO THE 
NATION IF IT HEARS HIS PROPOSAL 
THE RATHER THAN SENDING A 
WARRIOR OR EVEN DOING ANYTHING 
FOR THAT MATTER LOSES THEIR 
COURAGE E TERRIFIED RIGHT THERE 
JUST PARALYZED I FREEZE UP. AND 
SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT'S GOING 
ON IN THE FIRST SCENE IN THE 
BATTLEFRONT RIGHT AND NOW THE 
OTHERS GOING TO JUMP OVER TO 
ANOTHER SCENE OF THE TOWN OF 
BETHLEHEM AND HE'S GOING TO 
INTRODUCE THE HERO OF THE STORY 
DAVID SO LET'S READ VERSES 12 
THROUGH 15. DAVID WAS THE SON OF
THE EFFORT RIDE FROM BETHLEHEM 
OF JUDAH NAME JESSE AND DURING 
SAUL'S REIGN WAS ALREADY AN OLD 
MAN WITH SALT TO WAR AND THEIR 
NAMES FOR ELY AVE THE FIRSTBORN 
ABINADAB THE NEXT AND SHAMALI 
THAN 3RD AND DAVID WAS THE 
YOUNGEST THE THREE OLDEST HAD 
FOLLOWED SO BUT DAVID KEPT GOING
BACK AND FORTH FROM SALT D HIS 
FATHER'S FLOCK IN BETHLEHEM.
SO THE FIRST THING THAT WE JUST 
NOTICED THERE IS THAT DAVID IS 
THE YOUNGEST OF EIGHT SONS RIGHT
UNTIL WEEK WE KNOW ARE WE CAN 
GUESS AND WE AREN'T HUNDRED 
PERCENT SURE IS AGE BUT WE'RE 
THINKING THAT HE'S BETWEEN 13 
AND 16 YEARS OLD TOYS ON THE 
FRONT SIDE OF BEING A TEENAGER 
AT THIS POINT IN HIS REGULAR JOB
WAS TO BE THE FAMILY SHEPHERD 
AND TEND THE FLOCKS BUT DURING 
THE SEASON HIS FATHER IS 
ACTUALLY SENDING HIM ON ERRANDS 
BACK AND FORTH FROM HOME TO THE 
CAMP TO CHECK IN ON THE BROTHERS
SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT HE WAS 
DOING AND IT'S DURING ONE OF 
THESE ERRANDS THAT THE TWO 
STORIES ARE GOING TO COME 
TOGETHER AND CONVERGE UNTIL 
WHAT'S SEE EE THAT HAPPEN. 3 
VERSES 16 THROUGH 20. EVERY 
MORNING AND EVERY EVENING FOR 40
DAYS THE PHILISTINE CAME FORWARD
AND TOOK A STAND ONE DAY JESSE 
HAD TOLD HIS SON DAVID TAKE THIS
HALF BUSHEL OF ROASTED GRAIN 
ALONG WITH THESE 10 LOAVES OF 
BREAD FOR YOUR BROTHERS AND 
HURRY TO THE CAMP ALSO TAKE 
THESE 10 PORTIONS OF THE OF 
CHEESE TO THE FIELD COMMANDER 
CHECK ON THE WELL-BEING OF YOUR 
BROTHERS AND BRING A 
CONFIRMATION FROM THEM THEY ARE 
WITH SAUL AND ALL THE MEN OF 
ISRAEL IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH 
FIGHTING WITH THE PHILISTINES SO
DAVID GOT UP EARLY IN THE 
MORNING WE LEFT THE FLOCK WITH 
SOMEONE TO KEEP IT LOADED UP AND
OUT AS JESSE HAD CHARGED HIM. 
IT'S THE FIRST THING WE HEAR IS 
A GOLIATH HAS BEEN TAUNTING 
ISRAEL FOR 40 DAYS AND NOT JUST 
ONCE A DAY HE'S TURNING THEM 
TWICE A DAY MORNING AND EVENING 
80 TIMES AND IT KEEPS ON 
POWERING AND COWERING AND IT'S 
DURING THIS THAT DAVID GET SENT 
ON THIS ORIGINAL KIND OF MISSION
TO TAKE THE ERRAND GET BRING 
SOME FOOD BRING BACK A TOKEN 
FROM THE BROTHERS TO MAKE SURE 
THEY'RE DOING WELL TO GO DO THAT
THEN IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO 
NOTE HERE BUT DAVID DOESN'T HE 
SUPPOSED TO WRITE HIS FATHER 
GIVES INSTRUCTIONS AND HE DOES 
EXACTLY THAT HE FIND SOMEBODY TO
WATCH OVER THE SHEEP HE QUOTES 
UP THE CART HE TAKES HIS FATHER 
REQUESTED THAT'S GOING TO BE 
IMPORTANT IN JUST  A MOMENT HERE
AND HE SETS OFF. PLAY KEEP . HE 
ARRIVED AT THE PERIMETER OF THE 
CAMP IS THE ARMY WAS MARCHING 
OUT TO ITS BATTLE FORMATION 
SHOUTING THEIR BATTLE CRIME IS 
REAL IN THE PHILISTINES TO LINED
UP IN BATTLE FORMATION FACING 
EACH OTHER DAVID LEFT WITH HIS 
SUPPLIES IN THE CARE WHAT IS 
SUPPLIES IN THE CARE OF THE 
QUARTERMASTER AND RAN TO THE 
BATTLE LINE WHEN HE ARRIVED HE 
ASKED HIS BROTHERS HOW THEY WORK
BUT HE WAS SPEAKING WITH THEM SO
I DIDN'T LEAVE A CHAMPION NAMED 
GOLIATH THE PHILISTINE FROM GAS 
I CAME FORWARD FROM THE 
PHILISTINE BATTLE LINE AND 
SHOUTED HIS USUAL WORDS WHICH 
DAVID HEARD 
. DAVID GETS THERE HE'S CATCHING
UP WITH HIS BROTHERS ASKING 
QUESTION SEEING HOW THINGS ARE 
GOING AND ALL THE SUDDEN GOLIATH
COMES OUT AND KIND OF JUST 
REPEATS THE TAUGHT THAT HE'S 
BEEN CHALLENGING THE NATION OF 
ISRAEL WITH AND THEN WE WE SEE A
SPOKESMAN KIND OF STEPS UP IN 
SIX POINTS IT'S ALL HIS ACTUALLY
KIND OF PUT A BOUNTY OR A REWARD
SET IN MOTION FOR WHOEVER WOULD 
STAND UP AND DEFEAT GOLIATH AND 
FIGHT HIM IN THE FREE REWARDS OR
THAT THERE'S THIS PERSON'S GOING
TO BE RICH BUT THIS PERSON IS 
GOING TO GET A CHANCE TO MARRY 
HIS DAUGHTER AND BE A PART OF 
THIS ROYAL FAMILY AND THEN 
LASTLY THIS PERSON'S FAMILY IS 
GOING TO BE FREE FROM PAYING 
TAXES ANOTHER KIND OF LIKE CIVIC
DUTIES THAT WAS EXPECTED TO 
BEING AN ISRAELITE AND WHAT'S 
NOTICEABLE HERE FOR ME IS I READ
THIS INSTEAD OF JUST AS STRIKING
IT HOW LARGE THIS REWARD IS 
RIGHT AND IT ALMOST KILLED ME 
THAT THERE IS A SENSE OF 
DESPERATION TAKING PLACE BOTH 
AND SAW AND IN THE MEN OF ISRAEL
BECAUSE NO ONE'S DOING IT AND 
HE'S GOT ALL THESE THINGS THAT  
THAT HE'S OFFERING AND THE 
CRUELLY THEY'RE DESPERATE. AND I
LOVE AND WHAT COMES NEXT IS 
DAVID NOW IS SEEING IT AND WE'RE
GOING TO ACTUALLY READ DAVID'S 
FIRST KIND OF LINES THAT HE 
SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE AND IT'S 
VERSE 26 I LOVE IT LET'S READ IT
TOGETHER. DAVID SPOKE TO THE MAN
WHO ARE STANDING WITH HIM BUT 
WILL BE DONE FOR THE MAN WHO 
KILLS THIS PHILISTINE AND 
REMOVES THIS DISGRACE FROM 
ISRAEL AND THEN HE SAYS THIS 
JUST WHO IS THIS UNCIRCUMCISED 
PHILISTINE THAT HE SHOULD DEFY 
THE ARMIES OF THE LIVING GOD.
DIRECTS DAVID IS HERE HE SPEAKS 
OUT LOUD SO THAT EVERYONE CAN 
HEAR HIM AND HE SAYS THE THINGS 
THAT EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD BE 
SAYING WHO IS THIS GUY THAT 
WOULD OPPOSE THE ARMIES OF THE 
LIVING GOD. SECOND IS MUCH AS I 
LOVED AND I LOVED HIS CONFIDENCE
AND IS BORN THIS AND THAT HE 
ACTUALLY USES ANOTHER PHRASE 
THAT I THINK IS FAR MORE 
IMPORTANT HE USES THE PHRASE 
UNCIRCUMCISED PHILISTINE HE'S 
GOING TO USE THAT PHRASE 
MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE COURSE OF 
THE STORY AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW 
THE BACKGROUND BEHIND THIS 
PHRASE THIS IS SO AND IT'S SO 
EASY FOR US TO MESS WE'RE GOING 
TO BE MISSING OUT ON A KEY PIECE
OF THE STORY UNTIL WHAT IS THE 
SAYING WHEN HE SAYS 
UNCIRCUMCISED PHILISTINE CALL 
DAVID'S NOT NAME CALLING FOR A 
LONG TIME IN SALT WHAT DAVID'S 
HEART IS HERE REFERRING TO IS IT
CIRCUMCISION WAS A SIGN OF BEING
APART OF GOD'S HOLY NATION IT 
WAS A SYMBOL OF THEIR IDENTITY 
BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY IT WAS 
ALSO GN OF GOD'S PROMISE. I HAVE
TO GO BACK TO GENESIS CHAPTER 17
WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE ABRAHAMIC
COVENANT WHICH IS BASICALLY 
GOD'S PROMISE GOD'S ARRANGEMENT 
WITH ABRAHAM WHAT HE WILL DO FOR
HIM AND HIS FAMILY AND IT'S A 
FEW PARTS WITH THE FIRST IS THAT
ABRAHAM TO BE A FATHER NATIONS 
AND THE KINGSWOOD COMPREHEND AND
WE WE SEE GOD DELIVER ON THAT 
I'M OVER AND OVER TO SEE THE 
NATIONS AND NOW IT'S ALWAYS THE 
FIRST KING IN DAVID'S GOING TO 
BE THE KING AFTER HIM AND WE SEE
THAT GOD HAS DELIVERED ON THIS 
PROMISE NOT TO RECEIVE IT. GOD 
SAYS THAT GOD WOULD BE THEIR GOD
AND THAT HE WOULD STAND BY THEM 
AND THEY CAN READ AND KNOW THE 
STORY THE WHOLE OLD TESTAMENT TO
THIS POINT OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS
TIME AND TIME AGAIN WE KNOW WE 
KNOW THAT GOD HAS KEPT THAT 
PROMISE TO. ALSO WE HAVING IT 
INCLUDES THAT GOD WILL GIVE THEM
THE PROMISED LAND THE LAND OF 
PAINTED WHICH WE KNOW THAT. I 
ALREADY DID HUNDREDS OF YEARS 
BEFORE THROUGH JOSHUA IT WHEN 
THEY CAME OUT OF EGYPT THEY TOOK
OVER THE PROMISED LAND AND GUESS
WHAT THEY'RE LIVING THERE AT DAY
AND GOD FULFILL THAT PROMISE TO.
AND THEN HE SAYS THAT THE 
COMPANY WILL BE EVERLASTING FOR 
GENERATIONS AND GENERATIONS AS 
WE CONTINUE ON FOREVER AND GOD 
STATES THAT THE CIRCUMCISION WAS
BOTH AN INDICATION IN A REMINDER
OF THE IDENTITY OF GOD'S 
PROMISES THAT WAS KIND OF MAN'S 
RESPONSIBILITY WAS JUST THIS 
PRACTICE OF CIRCUMCISION AS A 
REMINDER OF WHAT GOD HAS SAID 
DAVID SAYS WHO IS THIS 
UNCIRCUMCISED PHILISTINE THAT HE
SHOULD BE DEFINED THE ARMIES OF 
THE LIVING GOD HE'S REMINDING 
EVERYONE AROUND HIM OF GOD'S 
PROMISES TO THEM AND THAT GOD 
HAS BEEN FAITHFUL TO KEEP HIS 
PROMISES FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS 
AND THAT IT IS PREPOSTEROUS TO 
THINK THAT SOME MAN WOULD COME 
AND STAND AGAINST HIM TO STAND 
AGAINST GOD'S  CHOSEN PEOPLE BUT
ULTIMATELY GOD HIMSELF. GOLIATH 
OF GATH AND ALL OF HIS STRENGTH 
AND EVERYTHING HE HAD ABOUT HIM 
WITH NO MATCH FOR THE GUY WHO 
ALWAYS KEEPS HIS PROMISES IT WAS
RIDICULOUS AND ULTIMATELY  DAVIS
IT REALLY MAKES CLEAR FOR US ALL
ITS AT THE ISRAELITES DIDN'T 
HAVE A STRENGTH THIS YEAR THEY 
HAD A TRUST ISSUE DIDN'T HAVE A 
STRENGTH ISSUE THEY HAD A 
NAL BATTLE THAT REALLY GETS 
HIGHLIGHTED HIGHLIGHTED IN THE 
WAY TO ELY AVE DAVID'S BROTHER'S
GOING TO RESPOND TO O 3 27 
THROUGH 30. THE TROOPS TOLD HIM 
ABOUT THE OFFERING CAN DAVID'S 
INQUIRING ABOUT WHAT'S WHAT'S 
GOING ON IS CATCHING UP TO SPEED
IF I'M CONCLUDING THIS IS WHAT 
WILL BE DONE FOR THE MAN WHO 
KILLS HIM DAVID'S OLDEST BROTHER
ALI HAVE LISTENED AS HE SPOKE TO
THE MEN AND HE BECAME ANGRY WITH
HIM WHY DID YOU COME DOWN HERE 
HE ASKED WHO DID YOU LEAVE THOSE
FEW SHEEP WITH IN THE WILDERNESS
I KNOW YOUR ARROGANCE AND YOUR 
EVIL HEART YOU E DOWN TO SEE THE
BATTLE. WHAT DO I DONE NOW 
PROFESSOR DAVE IT WAS JUST A 
QUESTION HONEY TURN FROM THOSE 
BESIDE HIM TO OTHERS IN FRONT OF
HIM AND ASKED ABOUT THE OFFER 
THE PEOPLE GAVE HIM THE SAME 
ANSWER AS BEFORE. TURN THE MIDST
OF THIS MOMENT YOU WILL ACTUALLY
TAKE ANY EXCUSE IS DAVID OF A 
COUPLE THINGS FIRST IS SHE RIGHT
BUT WE ALREADY JUST READ THE 
DAVID HADN'T DONE THAT YOU FOUND
A CARETAKER AND THEN HE SAID HE 
JUST WANTED TO BE THERE SO YOU 
CAN WATCH THE BATTLE BUT WE KNOW
HE WAS ONLY THERE BECAUSE HIS 
FATHER IT A SIN TO BE THERE AND 
I THINK WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON 
IS IT YOU LEE AVE IS FEELING A 
LOT OF SHAKE IT LIKE WE EVEN 
ENVY BECAUSE DAVID IS HAVING HIS
UNWAVERING FAITH AND COURAGE AND
IT GETS AGGRESSIVE WITH HIM AND 
TAKE 
SOME OUT WITH THESE ACCUSATIONS 
AND IT'S KIND OF SEE WHERE 
YOU'RE COMING FROM I MEAN IF YOU
DON'T PUT YOURSELF IN THE SHOES 
FOR A MOMENT WE'VE BEEN 40 DAYS 
DAY AND NIGHT AND THIS GUY COMES
OUT THIS HUGE MONSTROUS MAN WHO 
IS CHALLENGING THEM AND 
EVERYBODY'S BEEN SCARED 
EVERYBODY'S BEEN FEARFULLY BEEN 
PARALYZED AND HERE COMES THIS 
LITTLE SHEPHERD BOY WITH ALL 
THIS BIG TALK WITH ALL THIS FACE
I'M SURE 
'M SURE IT WOULD JUST BE LIKE. 
WHAT'S INSIDE OF HIM BUT I THINK
THE TRUTH THAT I WANT TO SEE 
HERE IN THIS MOMENT IS THAT WHEN
WE STOPPED TRUSTING IN GOD WE 
END UP IN SOME DARK PLACES. JUST
TAKE A LOOK AT THE PLUMBING 
PROGRESSION RIGHT JUST WANT TO 
HIGHLIGHT THAT IS WE LOOK AT 
EATALY ABS HEART STEP ONE HE 
DOUBTS GOT THAT'S THE FIRST ONE 
HE LOSE HIS TRUST THAT GOD WILL 
PROVIDE THAT THE GUY TO KEEP HIS
PROMISES HE HE OR ANYONE ELSE 
WOULD FIGHT GOLIATH AND BECAUSE 
OF THAT LACK OF TRUST STEP2 HE 
HAS FEAR AND ANXIETY RIGHT HE'S 
NERVOUS HE DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU'D 
BE STRONG AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF 
GOD WOULD FOLLOW THROUGH STEP 3 
HE FEEL SHAME RIGHT HE REALIZES 
HEY I MISSED IT I DON'T HAVE THE
FAITH AND NOW HE'S GOT THIS 
INNER TURMOIL OF LIKE I DON'T 
HAVE THE FAITH I'M NOT THE MAN 
THAT I WANT TO BE RIGHT NOW HE 
FEELS THAT INSIDE OF HIM AND 
THEN STEP FOR HE'S JUST 
PARALYZED AND EVERYBODY ELSE OR 
JUST ALL THIS TIME AND I JUST 
EVEN AS I WAS READING IT I JUST 
WAS LIKE I WONDER HOW LONG THIS 
WOULD HAVE LASTED WRITE 40 DAYS 
MORNING AND NIGHT LIKE HOW LONG 
WOULD THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN 
PARALYZED FOR I COULD I STILL BE
THERE IN TWENTY TWENTY STANDING 
ON THE HILLSIDE YOU KNOW WHO 
KNOWS BUT THEY GOT STUCK AND 
THEN HE TAKES OUT ALL THESE 
EMOTIONS ALL THESE HINGS THAT 
HE'S FEELING ON DAVID.
MASTERS DEGREE IN THIS 
WHATEVER-IT-IS RIGHT THAT'S NOT 
THAT'S NOT YOU YOU THIS IS A BAD
IDEA AND IT'S SO CLEAR TO US 
THAT WILL SOLVE THINKING IN 
HUMAN TERMS DAVID'S THINKING IN 
TERMS THAT ARE BEYOND THAT WAS A
WHOLE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE HE'S
THINKING OUT OF HIS TRUST IN GOD
NOT HIMSELF.
434 DAVID ANSWERED SO I LEFT HIS
HIS RESPONSE YOUR SERVANT HAS 
BEEN TENDING HIS FATHER SHEET 
WHENEVER A LION OR BEAR CAME AND
CARRIED OFF A LAMP FROM THE 
FLOCK I WENT AFTER TRACK IT DOWN
AND RESCUED THE LAMB FROM ITS 
MOUTH IF IT REARED UP AGAINST ME
I WOULD GRAB IT BY ITS FIRST 
STRIKE IT DOWN AND KILL IT YOUR 
SERVANT HAS KILLED LIONS AND 
BEARS THIS UNCIRCUMCISED 
PHILISTINE THERAPIST AGAIN WILL 
BE LIKE ONE OF THEM FOR HE HAS 
DEFY THE ARMIES OF THE LIVING 
GOD THEN DAVID SAID THE LORD WHO
RESCUED ME FROM THE PAW OF THE 
LION IN THE PAW OF THE BEAR WILL
RESCUE ME FROM THE HAND OF THE 
PHILISTINE SO SALSA TO DAVID GO 
AND ND MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU.
AND IT'S KIND OF HIGHLIGHTS THAT
DAVID SAYS YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE 
BEEN FIGHTING THIS BATTLE FOR 
YEARS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I 
HAVE DONE BEFORE AND I FEEL LIKE
I'M GOOD TO GO AND I'M GOOD TO 
GO IN PURSUE THIS AND YOU GUYS I
THINK IT'S EASY FOR US WHEN YOU 
SAY IT SUPPOSED TO THINK ABOUT 
DAVID'S CONFIDENCE IN HIS COMBAT
SKILLS RIGHT HE'S REALLY GOOD AT
TAKING OUT ANIMALS AS I THINK 
ONE OF THE FIRST READ THAT SOME 
OF US MIGHT HAVE TO GO THROUGH 
IT I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT 
HE'S SAYING AND I'M AT THE END 
IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT HE'S NOT 
SAYING THAT THE REASON. DAVID 
HAS TRUST AT THE REASON HAS IS 
NOT SHAKEN IS BECAUSE HIS TRUST 
IN GOD BECAUSE HE HAS SPENT THE 
DAY AFTER DAY OUT IN THE FIELDS 
AND HE'S HAD ANIMALS THAT HAVE 
ATTACKED AND THAT HE SHOULD HAVE
NEVER BEEN ABLE TO TAKE OUT ON 
HIS OWN I'M SURE IT'S SOME POINT
HE WAS PROBABLY OUT NACH BUT 
GUESS WHAT GOD SHOWED UP AND GOT
IT UP AGAIN AND GOT STOOD UP 
AGAIN AND GOD SHOWED UP AGAIN 
AND BECAUSE DAVID HAD TAKEN 
THROUGH THOSE STEPS AND LIVED A 
LIFE WHERE HE WAS JUST 
CONSTANTLY AT GOD'S FEET 
TRUSTING HIM COMING EFORE HIM 
AND HE HAD SEEN GOD BEEF. HE WAS
NOW THE ONE PERSON WHO WAS ABLE 
TO STAND THERE IN THE MIDST OF 
THIS BATTLE AND SAY I'M NOT 
SHAKING I WILL GO FIGHT BECAUSE 
I TRUST IN GOD NOT BECAUSE OF 
WHO I AM BUT BECAUSE OF WHO GOD 
IS AND WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN MY 
LIFE TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND I 
READ DAVID RESPONSE I'M JUST 
REMINDED REMINDED OF HOW 
IMPORTANT IS SOMETIMES WHEN 
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE SOMETHING 
CHALLENGING. AND DON'T LOOK 
BACK. IT IS SO YOU KNOW WHAT 
TIME WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME 
BEFORE CUZ I MIGHT FEEL LIKE I'M
OUT MATCH TODAY I MIGHT FEEL 
LIKE COVID-19 IS TOO MUCH FOR ME
I MIGHT FEEL LIKE SOMETHING ELSE
AND I'M DEALING WITH IS TOO BIG 
OR SOMETHING I CAN'T CONQUER ON 
MY OWN AND WE NEED IT GOT IN THE
WAY THAT WE CAN SOMETIMES FIND 
HIM AND REMIND HERSELF OF TRUTH 
IS BY TURNING AROUND ND AND 
THANK GOD FOR WHAT YOU DONE FOR 
ME BEFORE. HOW DO YOU HELP CARRY
ME THROUGH SEASONS AT WORK HARD 
OVERCOME THINGS THAT I SHOULD 
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW
DO YOU DELIVERED ME FOR MY 
BATTLE WITH CANCER WITH OTHER 
THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN IT MYSELF 
OR SOMEONE ELSE HAVE YOU 
PROVIDED IN TO REFLECT ON THOSE 
AND REMIND HERSELF OF THOSE AND 
THAT'S WHAT DAVID DOES HERE AND 
I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT THING 
FOR US TO REMEMBERS WE'RE  WE'RE
GOING THROUGH THESE TWO SEASONS 
OF OUR OWN.
AND THANKFULLY SOFT SEIZ DAVID'S
AMAZING FAITH AND HIS TESTIMONY 
AND IN A MOMENT OF SOFT TRUST IN
SOUTH STRENGTH HE SAYS YOU KNOW 
WHAT DAVID GO GO FIGHT I'M 
GIVING THE FATE OF OUR ARMY IN N
YOUR HANDS GO AND FIGHT GOLIATH.
.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT VINCE ALL HAD 
HIS OWN MILITARY CLOTHES PUT ON 
DAVID YOU PUT A BRONZE HELMET ON
DAVID'S HEAD AND HAD HIM PUT ON 
ARMOR DAVID STRAP HIS SWORD OVER
THE MILITARY QUOTE AND TRIED TO 
WALK BUT HE WAS NOT USED TO THEM
I CAN'T WALK IN THESE DAVID SAID
TO SAUL I'M NOT USED TO THEM SO 
DAVID TOOK THEM OFF INSTEAD HE 
TOOK HIS STAFF IN HIS HANDS AND 
TOES FIVE SMOOTH STONES FROM THE
WADI THE DRIED-UP RIVER AND PUT 
THEM IN THE POUCH AND IT'S 
SHEPHERD BACK THEN WITH HIS 
SLING IN HIS  HAND HE APPROACHED
THE PHILISTINE. THIS IS A FUN 
THING TO JUST EVEN READ ABOUT 
YOU KNOW I JUST PICTURE MYSELF 
MAYBE AS A SERVANT IN THE ROOM 
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WATCHING 
IS THE BRING OUT THIS FARMER 
THAT'S LIKE CLEARLY. ADULT SIZE 
ARMOR FOR THIS LITTLE TEENAGE 
BOY MOUSSA STILL LIKE YOU KNOW 
GROWING AND DEVELOPING AND JUST 
TRY TO WATCH AND SPIT INTO IT 
AND NOTHING'S WORKING RIGHT AND 
JUST THINKING YOU 
KNOW I'D BE THINKING ABOUT WHAT 
ARE WE DOING YOU KNOW I JUST 
ALMOST CHUCKLE THINKING ABOUT 
JUST HOW GOOFY THIS MOMENT WOULD
HAVE BEEN BUT I LOVE WHAT I'M 
DAVID DOES NEXT HE DECIDES HE 
DIDN'T STOP EVERYBODY ELSE IN 
THE ROOM AND HE TAKES THE ARMOR 
OFF HE TAKES THE SWORD OFF IT 
TAKES ALL THE GEAR OFF IT WOULD 
HAVE MADE SENSE FOR HIM TO USE 
ANY WALKS OVER TO DRIED-UP 
RIVERBED GRAB SOME ROCKS 
.
HOW MUCH IS 4 INTO THE TRAP OF 
THINKING WE NEED MORE TOOLS THAT
GOD HAS PROMISED OR IS GIVEN TO 
SOMEBODY ELSE AND YOU DON'T EVEN
AS A PASS OR SOMETIMES I THINK 
YOU KNOW IF ONLY I COULD PREACH 
LIKE FILL IN THE BLANK ONLY I 
WAS AS WISE AS FILL IN THE BLANK
ONLY I CAN WEAR SKINNY JEANS 
LIKE ATTENBOROUGH.
. BUT YOU GUYS ALL THOSE ALL 
THOSE PIECES ALL THOSE THOUGHTS 
ON THAT WAY OF THINKING IS JUST 
LIE BECAUSE THE REALITY IS IS 
THAT THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE HAS
IT PROVIDED YOU WITH THE TOOLS 
YOU NEED AND WANTS TO COME 
ALONGSIDE OF YOU WITH THE POWER 
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HE CAN 
HELP EQUIP YOU TO OVERCOME ANY 
BATTLE THAT YOU'RE FACING IN 
YOUR LIFE AMEN. AMEN. I WAS 
REALLY EXPECTING THAT AMEN BACK 
THAT'S A SUCH A GOOD REMINDER 
FOR US TODAY JUST TO THINK ABOUT
THE GUY WHO IS FAITHFUL TO US. 
AND WHAT'S TAKE A LOOK I'M NOW 
AS WE CONTINUE ON THE VERSE 41 
WE CAN SEE DAVID AND GOLIATH 
HARE SOME FINAL WORDS BEFORE 
THEY FIGHT. THE PHILISTINE KING 
CLOSER AND CLOSER TO DAVID WITH 
THE SHIELD BEARER IN FRONT OF 
HIM WHEN THE FIELDS SEEM TO 
LOOKED AND SAW DAVID HE DESPISED
HIM BECAUSE HE WAS JUST A YOUTH 
HEALTHY AND HANDSOME HE SAID TO 
DAVID AMAYA DOG THAT YOU COME 
AGAINST ME WITH STICKS IF ANY 
CURSE DAVID BY HIS GODS COME 
HERE THE PHILISTINE CALL TO 
DAVID AND I'LL GIVE YOUR FLESH 
TO THE BIRDS OF THE SKY AND 
OTHER WILD BEASTS DAVID SET A 
PHILISTINE YOU COME AGAINST ME 
WITH THE SWORD SPEAR AND JAVELIN
BUT I COME AGAINST YOU AND THE 
NAME OF THE LORD OF ARMIES IN 
THE GOD OF THE RANKS OF ISRAEL 
YOU HAVE TO FIGHT HIM TODAY THE 
LORD WILL HAND YOU OVER TO ME 
TODAY I'LL STRIKE YOU DOWN 
REMOVE YOUR HEAD AND GIVE THE 
CORPSES OF THE PHILISTINE CAMP 
TO THE BIRDS OF THE SKY IN THE 
WILD CREATURES OF THE EARTH AND 
I LOVE THIS SPEND ALL THE WORLD 
WILL KNOW THAT ISRAEL HAS A GOD 
IN THIS WHOLE ASSEMBLY WILL KNOW
THAT IT IS NOT BY SWORD OR BY 
SPEAR THAT THE LORD SAVES FOR E 
BATTLE IS THE LORD'S. I HAND YOU
OVER TO US. FOR THE BATTLE IS 
THE LORD'S HE WILL HAND YOU OVER
TO US.
IT IS SO STRIKING TO ME WHEN YOU
HEAR HIS TRUST AND YOU HEAR HIS 
CONFIDENCE NOW IF YOU STAND 
AGAINST THE LARGEST COMPONENT 
PHYSICALLY THAT HE'D EVER FACED 
IN HIS LIFETIME AND EVERYBODY 
ELSE WOULD HAVE SEEMED LIKE FROM
HUMAN EYE SEE THIS WAS JUST 
CERTAIN DEATH AND THIS IS WHAT 
DAVID SAYS HE FACES AT THESE ARE
THE WORDS THAT HE SAYS AND FOR 
ME IT'S HONESTLY IT'S CONVICTING
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE'S 
TIMES IN MY LIFE WHERE I'M 
FACING FAR SMALLER CHALLENGES 
AND I DON'T HAVE TO TRUST IN THE
CONFIDENCE THAT HERE UNLESS 
YOU'RE SO BORING FOR ME. AND I 
JUST WANT TO POINT OUT IN FIRST 
46TH THE DAVID EXPLAINS WHY HE'S
FIGHTING BEFORE BOTH ARMIES OUT 
THERE HE SAYS IT OUT LOUD AND HE
SAYS THAT THE REASONS HE'S THERE
IS BECAUSE YOU WANT ALL THE 
EARTH TO KNOW THAT THERE GOD AND
ISRAEL. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU 
BUT I COULD BE PRETTY EASY TO 
STRUGGLE WITH WANTING FAME WITH 
ONE AND GLORY WITH WANTING A 
TROPHY WANTED TO MAKE HIS NAME 
GREAT BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HE'S 
DOING HE'S SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT 
I WANT TO MAKE GOD'S NAME GREAT 
NATURAL OUTFLOW IS IT IS LOVE 
AND OF HIS JOURNEY AND CHASING 
AFTER GOD'S HEART AND I THINK 
HIS ACTIONS BEG US TO ANSWER THE
QUESTION HOW FAR WOULD WE GO TO 
MAKE GOD'S NAME GREAT HOW FAR 
WOULD WE GO TO TELL THE WORLD 
ABOUT ARE AMAZING GOD HOW MUCH 
DO WE LOVE AND TRUST HIM WITH 
OUR OWN LIES.
GOOD THING TO THINK ABOUT.
FINISH THE STORY NOW VERSUS 48 +
54.
WHEN THE PHILISTINE STARTED 
FORWARD TO ATTACK IN DAVID RAN 
QUICKLY TO THE BATTLE LINE TO 
MEET THE PHILISTINE DAVID PUT 
HIS HAND IN THE BAG TOOK OUT A 
STONE SWUNG IT AND HIT THE 
PHILIPS HUE ON HIS FOREHEAD JUST
DON'T THINK IN HIS FOREHEAD AND 
HE FELL FACE DOWN TO THE GROUND 
DAVID DEFEATED THE PHILISTINES 
WITH A SLING AND A STONE DAVID 
OVERPOWERED THE PHILISTINE AND 
KILLED HIM WITHOUT HAVING A 
SWORD YOU GUYS SEE HOW THAT 
OFFERS ASIZING JUST HOW 
MIRACULOUS THIS WAS. 461 DAVID 
RAN AND STOOD OVER HIM HE 
GRABBED THE PHILISTINES SORE 
PULLED IT FROM ITS SHEATH AND 
USE IT  KILL HIM THEN HE CUT OFF
HIS HEAD. WHEN THE PHILISTINES 
ALL THAT THEY'RE HERE WAS DEAD 
THEY FLED THE MEN OF ISRAEL AND 
JUDAH RALLIED SHOUTING THE 
BATTLE CRY AND 
LEM BUT HE PUT - WEAPONS IN HIS 
OWN TENT.
SINGLE LIFE MIRACULOUSLY 
DEFEATED. PITOCIN TURN THE OTHER
ONES FILLED WITH FEAR WRITE THE 
TITLE OF TURNED A DEAF EAR THAT 
ISRAEL HAD IS NOW ON THEM IN THE
CONFIDENCE THAT DAVID HAD IS NOW
WITH HIS ARMY AND NOW THEY GO 
AND THEY CONQUERED THE 
PHILISTINE ARMY AND THEY DEFEAT 
THEM FROM HERE AFTER THE STORK 
INCLUDES WE KNOW THAT DAVID 
BECOMES THE MOST RENOWNED 
WARRIOR AND THE NATION PERHAPS 
PROBABLY EVEN THE MOST RENOWNED 
LEADER AND THE NATION AND 
EVENTUALLY AFTER A LONG PAINT 
STICKING JOURNEY OF BECOMING AN 
OUTCAST BECAUSE OF SAUL'S 
JEALOUSY AND UPS AND DOWNS DAVID
WILL ACTUALLY BECOME THE KING OF
ISRAEL AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT
MORE IN N THE COMING WEEKS AT 
THE SERIES. AND THAT'S A STORY 
OF DAVID AND GOLIATH AND IT'S 
AMAZING STORY RIGHT IT'S FILLED 
WITH DRAMA AND COURAGE AND 
BATTLE AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ME 
THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE TEND TO 
REMEMBER HIS HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 
STORE BUT I THINK MORE THAN 
ANYTHING ELSE IT'S A STORY ABOUT
TRUST IT'S A STORY ABOUT A BOY 
WHO HAD MORE FAITH THAN AN 
ENTIRE ARMY TRUE ENDING IN THE 
STORY OF DAVID AND GOLIATH THIS 
IS SOMETHING THAT HAS SPANNED 
ACROSS HIS LIFETIME IT ISN'T 
PART OF DAVID'S TRAJECTORY AS A 
MAN CHASING AFTER THE HEART OF 
GOD WRITE DAVE HAD MOMENTS WHEN 
HE WAS IN SOME DARK PLACES GET 
MOMENTS WHERE HE WAS UP AGAINST 
ALL ODDS THAT HE SHOULD HAVE NOT
BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE A TRUSTING 
HE KEPT ON HAVING FAITH AND YES 
HE HAD SOME MOMENTS OF A 
SHORTCOMING AND FAILURE LIKE WE 
ALL DO BUT THIS  BIG WAYS. CAN 
YOU DO THINGS WERE ALWAYS GOING 
TO BE EASY SOMETIMES IT'S 
SERVING GOD REQUIRE HIM TO DO 
THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE 
BUT MOST OF ALL HE KNEW THAT THE
GOD OF THE UNIVERSE WAS GOING TO
KEEP HIS OMISES AND HELP CARRY 
HIM THROUGH.. THE REASON I CAN 
STAND UP HERE TODAY AND PREACHED
THIS MESSAGE THAT WE CAN ALWAYS 
TRUST GOD IS BECAUSE THROUGHOUT 
THE ENTIRE BIBLE GOD NEVER 
BREAKS ANY OF HIS PROMISES HE 
NEVER LIES NEVER BETRAYS ANYONE 
CAN EVER GET TOO ABSENTMINDED IT
FORGETS TO DO SOMETHING HE 
ALWAYS FOLLOWS THROUGH AND IT'S 
SOMETHING THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR
US TO TO FIND ANYWHERE ELSE IN 
THE WORLD TODAY. I SAID BEFORE 
WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE IT 
FEELS LIKE TRUSTING ANYTHING IS 
GETTING 
HARDER AND HARDER TO DO THINGS 
LIKE ONLINE SCHOOLING THAT I 
KNOW A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES ARE 
WRESTLING WITH THINGS LIKE 
FIGURING OUT FINANCES THINKS 
ABOUT THINGS LIKE JUST EVEN JUST
THE RISK OF THE ILLNESS AND THE 
THREAT TO THAT HAS THERE IS SO 
MANY CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE 
FACING TODAY NEW THINGS WE E A 
NECESSARY SALT OR FACE BEFORE. 
EVERY DAY OUR FAITH IN GOD IS 
BEING PUT TO THE TEST AND WE'RE 
WRESTLING WITH WHERE DO WE PUT 
OUR TRUST TODAY IS GOING TO BE 
IN THE STOCK MARKET AND THE 
GOVERNMENT AND SCIENCE AND 
MEDICINE AND OTHER PEOPLE AND 
OURSELVES IN OUR OWN PERSONAL 
STRENGTHS OR MAYBE IN THE PLACES
WHERE THEY TRY TO ESCAPE WHETHER
IT'S OUR HOBBIES THINGS LIKE 
ALCOHOL BLAMING OTHER PEOPLE 
WHATEVER THAT IS THERE'S A 
MILLION PLACES WE MIGHT TRY TO 
PUT OUR TRUST BUT THE THING I 
HOPE WE CAN ALL SEE TODAY IS TO 
GO THROUGH THE STORY THAT THE 
ONLY PLACE  WE CAN TRUST IS IN 
OUR LORD. WHO HE IS AND IN HIS 
PROMISES AND WHAT THEIR TRUE 
UNTIL TODAY I WANT US TO TAKE AN
HONEST LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND I 
WANT TO CONSIDER IF WE HAVE THE 
SAME KIND OF TRUST THAT DAVID 
HAD BECAUSE IT'S SO IMPORTANT 
FOR US TO SLOW DOWN IN PROCESS 
THIS TODAY IT'S SO EASY FOR US 
TO STAY WITH OUR MOUTHS THAT WE 
TRUST GOD IN FACT I WOULD BET 
THAN MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE 
ROOM TODAY WOULD SAY YES I TRUST
GOD BUT THE REALITY IS JUST 
BECAUSE WE SAY SOMETHING DOESN'T
EAN THAT IT'S ALWAYS TRUE. 
CLASSIC RESTAURANT MENTIONED A 
STATISTIC FROM BARNA IF IT SAYS 
IT OVER THE COURSE OF THIS 
PANDEMIC 32% OF PEOPLE HAVE 
STOPPED ATTENDING SERVICE IN 
PERSON OR EVEN WATCHING AN 
ONLINE LIVE STREAM OF A CHURCH 
SERVICES ARE THERE IS SOME OF 
THOSE INDIVIDUALS TODAY WHO ARE 
STILL A SINCERELY WALKING WITH 
THE WARTS IN JOURNEYING FORWARD 
I'M ALSO QUITE CONFIDENT THAT 
THERE ARE OTHERS AMONG SET 
STATISTIC OR MAYBE IT IS SEASON 
OF STEPPING AWAY FROM THEIR 
FAITH OR A DISTANCING ARE 
DISENGAGING ON A DAILY BASIS OF 
THEIR THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH 
GOD AND I'M GOING TO PROPOSE TO 
YOU THAT ART OF THIS SHIFT. IS 
THE LACK OF TRUST THAT THE LACK 
OF TRUST BECAUSE IF THEY REALLY 
TRUST OF THE CHASING THE HEART 
OF GOD WITH THE BEST LIFE FOR 
THEM THAT THEY BE DOING IT. 
SOMETIMES WE DON'T HAVE AN 
ACCURATE AWARENESS OF WHERE I 
TRUST REALLY IS INTO WHAT I WANT
TO DO TODAY AS WE CLOSE OUT OUR 
SERVICE IS I WANT TO WRAP UP BY 
HAVING US TAKE A LOOK REALLY AT 
OURSELVES AT A PERSONAL LEVEL 
AND I KNOW THAT THE FURTHER WE 
GET 
JOIN US HERE AND I'M GOING TO BE
PLAYING A SONG FOR US IN JUST A 
MINUTE AND THEN I WANT EVERYBODY
HERE TO GO PICK UP THEIR SERMON 
NOTES ORGAN PULL UP ON YOUR 
DEVICE OR WHATEVER THAT IS 
LOOKING AT THE THIRD PAGE THERE 
I PREPARED A RESPONSE ACTIVITY 
FOR ALL OF US AND BASICALLY THE 
FIRST THING YOU'LL NOTICE TO SIT
ON IT THERE'S A LIST OF 11 
DIFFERENT PROMISES THAT GOD HAS 
MADE FOR US THE THINGS THAT WE 
CAN STAND IN AND THINGS THAT WE 
CAN TRUST HIM AND WHAT I WANTED 
TO DO IS I WANT US TO GO THROUGH
THAT LIST AND I WANTED TO ANSWER
TO QUESTIONS AS WE RESPOND FIRST
WHICH PROMISES DO YOU TEND TO 
TRUST ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS WHAT
ARE THE PROMISES OF THIS THING 
THAT YOU TEND TO TRUST HOW ARE 
YOU DOING THAT AND THEN SECONDLY
WHICH PROMISES DO TEND TO 
STRUGGLE WITH TRUSTING AND WHAT 
DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AND WHAT 
WAYS ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO TRUST
AND THEN THIRDLY WITH T IS WHY 
YOU KNOW MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE. 
BELIEVING A LIE THAT'S NOT TRUE 
OR MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOUR PUT 
YOUR TRUST IN THE WRONG THING 
WHATEVER THAT IS I WANT THINK 
IT'S WORTH POSITIVE THINKING 
ABOUT IT IS YOU PROCESS THROUGH 
ALL THIS THE BAND IS GOING TO BE
LEADING US AND A GREAT NEW SONG 
CALLED PROMISES THAT IS GOING TO
HIT I THINK REALLY CLOSE TO HOME
AS WE AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS 
TIME ON HER OWN IF I'M JUST 
GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS READ
THROUGH THIS AND AND YOU CAN 
EVEN JOIN AND WORSHIP WHEN YOUR 
- WHEN YOU AD TO DO THOSE 
PROMISES TOGETHER.
GOD GIVES ETERNAL LIFE TO 
EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM GOD
FORGIVES US AND CLEANSES US OF 
OUR SINS WHEN WE CONFESS THEM 
GOD GIVES REST AND HEALING TO 
THOSE WHO COME TO HIM. GOD HAS 
GOOD PLANS FOR OUR LIVES. GOD 
GIVES STRENGTH TO THOSE WHO 
TRUST IN HIM GOD IS IN CONTROL 
AND THERE IS NO REASON TO BE 
ANXIOUS OR AFRAID GOD WILL NEVER
LEAVE LEAVE US OR TURNED ITS 
BACK ON US GOD IS ALWAYS GOOD 
AND GOD NEVER STOPS WORKING FOR 
THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM 
GOD GIVES WISDOM TO THOSE WHO 
SEEK IT FROM HIM GOD IS ALWAYS 
WITH US EVEN WHEN THINGS TO A 
DARK AND HOPE HE IS OUR REFUGE 
AND THERE IS NO TEMPTATION THAT 
E CANNOT OVERCOME WITH GOD'S 
HELP. SO I PRAY THAT YOU MEET 
WITH THE LORD NOW AND REFLECT 
WHICH PROMISES DO YOU TRUST IN 
WHICH PROMISES ARE YOU 
STRUGGLING WITH WITH MEAT WITH 
THEM.
GOD OF ABRAHAM YOU'RE THE GOD OF
COVENANT THE FAITHFUL PROMISES.
TIME AND TIME AGAIN YOU HAVE 
PROVEN YOU DO JUST WANT YOU SAY

PART OF ME WANTS TO STAY HERE 
FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND IT'S 
KEEP ON SINGING THAT SONG BUT 
ISN'T IT TRUE. IS IT GOT GOOD 
AND ISN'T THERE SO MUCH FOR US 
TO BE THANKFUL FOR. I HOPE THIS 
IS A VIABLE TIME FOR US TO TAKE 
A MOMENT TO SLOW DOWN YOU KNOW 
IN THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY I
THINK SOMETIMES IT'S HARD FOR US
OR IS EASY FOR US TO SKIP DOING 
THAT SOMETIMES AND I JUST HOPE 
THAT IS WE WE LEAVE TODAY THAT 
WE WOULD ALL TAKE SOMETHING 
ABOUT TAKE A TIME REFLECTING AND
WHERE WE ARE AND THAT'S THE 
FIRST REASON I WANTED TO DO THIS
ACTIVITY BUT THE SECOND IS I 
JUST REALLY WANTED US TO COME TO
AN UNDERSTANDING THAN EVERY 
MOMENT OF OUR LIVES OUR ACTIONS 
ARE RESULT OF WHAT WE BELIEVE 
ABOUT GOD AND I TRUSTED HIM THE 
GOOD STUFF RIGHT THERE RIGHT TO 
STUFF THE STUFF THAT MATTERS AND
THE UGLY STUFF IN THE SEND THAT 
EXISTED ALL TIES BACK TO OUR 
TRUST IN GOD AND I WANTED US TO 
SEE THAT CUZ THAT'S AT'S WHAT I 
KEEP US PUSHING THROUGH. THE 
CHURCH I'LL STAY AT ONE . GOING 
TO TURN OUT TO TIME OF COMMUNION
AS WE DO IF ANYONE IN THE ROOM 
BY THE WAY I NEED SOME COMMUNION
ELEMENTS PLEASE JUST PUT YOUR 
HAND UP FOR USHERS ARE READY TO 
PASS IT OUT TO YOU IF YOU DIDN'T
GET THOSE ON YOUR WAY IN AND 
BEFORE WE BREAK TO TAKE THE 
BREAD IN THE JUICE I JUST WANT 
TO LOOK AT 1 LAST PASSAGE ONE 
LAST PROMISE WITH YOU GUYS IF 
IT'S JEREMIAH CHAPTER 31 VERSES 
31 THROUGH 34 AND IT'S A PASSAGE
CALLED THE NEW COVENANT THE NEW 
PROMISE OF GOD MAKES WHAT'S 
GOING TO BE THE BEST PROMISE WE 
CAN NEVER HEAR ABOUT THAT'S WHAT
TO READ THAT TOGETHER YOU SAID 
WHAT THE DAYS ARE COMING WHEN I 
WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT I WILL 
PUT MY TEACHING WITHIN THEM 
WITHIN MY PEOPLE SHALL WRITE IT 
ON THEIR HEART I WILL BE THEIR 
GOD AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE 
NO LONGER WILL ONE TEACHES 
NEIGHBOR OR HIS BROTHER SAYING 
NO THE LORD FOR THEY WILL ALL 
KNOW ME FROM THE LEAST TO THE 
GREATEST BUT I WILL FORGIVE 
THEIR HEIR INIQUITY AND NEVER 
AGAIN REMEMBER THEIR SIN. DON'T 
KNOW THERE'S A LOT TO TAKE IN AT
THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME HEARING 
THAT THAT THAT PASSES TODAY. 
PROMISE BUT IN SHORT GUY THAT'S 
MAKING A NEW PROMISE I'M LIKE 
ALL THE ONES THAT HAVE COME 
BEFORE ALL THE ONES THAT PEOPLE 
HAVE BROKEN IN THE PAST AND IT 
GOT HELD UP THEIR SIDE OF  THE 
DEAL GOD'S MAKING A PROMISE. 
IT'S THE GREATEST GIFT WE'VE 
EVER RECEIVED HIS PROMISING TO 
FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS HE 
PROBABLY GOT A PERSONAL 
RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL OF HIS 
FOLLOWERS HE'S PROMISING TO 
EQUIP THEM FOR EVERYTHING THEY 
NEED TO LIVE AN AMAZING LIFE 
WITH AND IF YOU ASK ME THAT 
SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD DEAL 
AND GUESS WHAT YOU GUYS JUST 
LIKE EVERY TIME BEFORE GOD KEPT 
THAT PROMISE. HE SAID HIS SON 
JESUS TO MAKE IT ALL POSSIBLE HE
CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND HE 
WENT TO PERFECT LIFE ON EARTH 
AND EVENTUALLY JESUS MADE THE 
ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR EACH OF 
US HE DIED ON THE CROSS TAKING 
THE SIN OF ALL OUR SINS ON HIS 
SHOULDER SO THAT WE WOULD NOT 
HAVE DIVISION WITH GUIDE ANYMORE
WE PICK UNITED WHEN WE PUT OUR 
FAITH IN HIM AND HE OVERCAME THE
GRAVE 3 DAYS LATER HE ROSE AGAIN
DEFEATING SATAN IN DEATH AND NOW
THE THING THAT WE NEED TO DO IS 
PUT OUR FAITH IN HIM AND WE CAN 
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM YOU
GUYS THAT STARTS WITH TRUST. AND
IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY AND YOU 
HAVEN'T MADE THAT DECISION TO 
TRUST HIM WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IF
YOU NEED TO PRAY JUST A SIMPLE 
PRAYER GOD I WANT YOU TO BE THE 
WORD MY WIFE I WANT TO FOLLOW 
AFTER YOU I WANT TO TRUST YOU 
I'M SORRY FOR LIVING MY LIFE MY 
OWN WAY ALL THESE YEARS BUT NOW 
I WANT TO SHARE MY LIFE WITH TH 
YOU IF YOU HERE TODAY DON'T 
HESITATE. IT'S THE BEST THING 
YOU COULD EVER HAVE AND IT'S MY 
PRAYER THAT YOU WOULD TAKE THAT 
FIRST STEP THERE'S A THERE'S A 
GREAT QUOTE BY MARTIN LUTHER 
KING JR. I THOUGHT I'D SHARE 
WITH YOU THE FAITH IS TAKING THE
FIRST STEP EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T 
SEE THE WHOLE STAIRCASE YOU 
MIGHT BE HERE TODAY NOT KNOWING 
WHAT THE SPACE JOURNEY MIGHT 
LOOK LIKE YOU MIGHT BE FEELING 
NERVOUS BUT IT'S OUR CHALLENGE 
TO SAY YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO 
TAKE THAT STEP FORWARD JUST LIKE
DAVID DID WHEN  HE WENT OUT TO 
MEET KAUAI. THERE'S NOTHING MORE
THAT THAT THAT I WANT FOR YOU. 
PUT YOUR TRUST IN HIM. CAN YOU 
GUYS THAT'S WHAT COMMUNION IS 
ALL ABOUT IT'S A CHANCE FOR US 
TO COME TOGETHER AND REMEMBER 
WHAT JESUS DID FOR US TO THANK 
HIM CONFESS OUR SINS AND 
REAFFIRM OUR TRUST IN HIM. IF IT
WHAT TO DO THAT TOGETHER I'LL 
TAKE THE BREAD. WHAT SCRIPTURE 
SAYS REPRESENTS CHRIST BODY 
WHICH IS BROKEN FOR US IN 
REMEMBRANCE OF HIM.
AND I'LL TAKE THE JUICE WHAT 
SCRIPTURE SAYS REPRESENT CHRIST 
BLOOD WHAT SHE SHED FOR US AND 
LET'S DRINK THIS IN REMEMBRANCE 
OF HIM.
CLOSE IN A WORD OF PRAYER 
TOGETHER.
