Mark 5:25-34

Human Beings & Human Kings – Part 9How Giants Fall
Theme: Understanding Who God Is and How Great His Name Is
Main Scripture: 📖 1 Samuel 17
Key Thought:
Giants do not fall because we are strong; they fall because our God is greater than every giant.

Introduction
When Goliath challenged Israel, he called them "the servants of Saul." He wanted them to forget that they belonged to the living God.
David saw the situation differently. He saw "the armies of the living God." David's confidence was not in his own ability but in the greatness of God.
The battles we win are often determined by how well we know the God we serve. When our understanding of God grows, our fear of giants becomes smaller.

(Greatness comes in doing right things right consistently)

Main Scripture:

📖 I Samuel 17:12-32 NKJV

Human Beings & Human Kings – Part 7
Loud Mouth Giant Lips vs. the All-Powerful God
Main Scripture: 📖 1 Samuel 17:1–50

Theme:
The enemy often tries to defeat us through intimidation before he ever attacks us physically. God’s voice is always greater than the loudest voice of fear.

Reflective Questions:
1. What is something that looked impossible at first, but you eventually overcame?
2. Have you ever allowed someone’s words to stop you from doing something you believed God wanted you to do?

Read the Scriptures
📖 1 Samuel 17:1–50

📖 Joshua 14:6–15

📖 Psalm 127:3–5
📖 Ecclesiastes 12:1

Introduction
- Before Goliath ever threw a spear, he spoke.
- His greatest weapon was intimidation.
- Many of life’s battles are won or lost before they even begin because of the voices we choose to believe.

Fear says: “I can’t.”
Faith says: “God can.”

Today we want to learn how to silence the voice of fear by listening to the voice of God.

Jesus Connection
- David points us to Jesus.
- David defeated one giant.
- Jesus defeated our greatest enemies:
Sin
Satan
Death
Hell

- David fought for Israel.
- Jesus fought for all humanity.
- David risked his life.
- Jesus gave His life.

Because Jesus has already won the greatest victory, believers do not fight for victory—we fight from victory.

How does Jesus’ victory on the cross give you confidence to face today’s giants?
