start our weeks together in worship no better way to start your week than to start your week in worship and so we are so thankful for our family that's in the room our family that's online we are grateful for you today um we are thankful indeed uh we have been in a um sermon series entitled ah the one out and we're walking our way through the life of david david is one of the most famous characters of all scriptures but i pray that in this series god gives us a fresh look a fresh glance into his life as we learn from his life about how to follow god faithfully um i want to also just thank you concord for your faithfulness throughout this season our mission at common core church is people growing people by connecting them to their next step with christ and i am so thankful for you as we've navigated almost the last two years and god has been so incredibly faithful to our church but it's really been through you um that your faithfulness and worship uh your faithfulness and serving uh your faithfulness and giving and supporting the work of god you're faithful in gathering in our groups has been incredible and i just wanna why don't you praise god for what he's done in our church family the last 18 19 months god has been so incredibly faithful and we're just grateful family we're just grateful i i want you to open your bibles to first samuel chapter 17 and what i want you to do today i just want you to keep your bibles open i'm not going to read the entire passage but i'm going to be looking at different passages throughout our time together so just keep your bibles open and we'll be referencing several different uh ideas and thoughts out of the passage as we make our way through amen all right today i want to talk about facing giants in life can you say that with me say facing giants in life her name was tamiya her name is tamaya and tamaya's life was drastically changed she was just around six or seven years old and hit by a drunken driver that would for able would that would forever change her life it would change her life and her mom would continue to raise her she would have to deal with so many challenges both physically and mentally as her life had been damaged by this horrific accident and the truth of the matter is that every single one of us at some point our juncture in life will have to face a giant we'll have to face some obstacle some difficulty some problem that will impact our lives sometimes when we least expect it but there will be these moments and challenges in life that we will have to face that we will have to deal with and it's only through our faith in god that we will ever be able to overcome it is here and in first samuel chapter 17 that we encounter a moment in the life of david where david begins to help you and i understand how to face the giants that come in our lives the context is in first samuel 16 david has now been anointed and chosen by god but it's been in a private moment but now in chapter 17 the private work that god has been doing in his life now becomes and prepares to become public when you read the scripture is interesting it starts out with these two nations israel and the facility the philistines about to go in the war and it's here that we first encounter this scene of the anatomy of a giant the text begins by introducing this goliath is his name he's a giant you remember him well the scriptures reveal in those first seven verses that he is a giant some nearly nine feet tall there's a giant that has on heavy armor he is carrying a javelin and a sword he has armor on his upper body and on his legs he is incredibly intimidating i want you to understand friends that that's what giants do giants are intimidating here he is standing nine feet tall and the text reveals to us that he comes out in the first morning and he announces these words who among you is able to challenge me just send one soldier to fight me if he wins i will serve you if i win you will serve me this giant comes and he constantly seeks to intimidate god's people matter of fact the scriptures revealed to us that every time he makes an announcement the people begin to run in fear and are terrified this is the anatomy of a giant this is what giants do they intimidate but not only do giants intimidate but if you keep reading the text you will discover that giants are an inevitable part of life friends this is not the first time that god's people have encountered giants the first time they encountered giant is in numbers 13. god has given them a promise to take hold of the promised land but they send spies out and the spies come back and say listen the land is flowing with milk and honey but there are giants in the land and we look like grasshoppers in our own eyes here they are again and a giant shows up and now once again they are fearful they are terrified and they are afraid friends you must understand that giants that show up then and giants still show up today and they have the same dilemma the same modus of operandi the same plan now is the same plan they had then giants are here to intimidate you friends there are all types of giants you show up to a doctor's appointment and you get a diagnosis that now during your annual mammogram that you've been diagnosed with breast cancer that's a giant you go to work and you're called into hr they inform you they will no longer need your services that's a giant a relationship that you have poured your life into and yet you seem to be further drifting apart more and more every single day that's a giant anxiety and depression and you can't sleep at night as worry and panic and struggles and con and all of these issues and and chaos continue to invade your brain and continue to not let your mind be able to rest that's a giant mental illness either in your life or in the life of someone that you love that's that's that's a giant a relationship that is broken and someone that continually seems to make it their mission to make your life hard to make your life difficult someone aiming to tear down your name and tear down your reputation someone that is simply trying to make your life as hard as possible that's a giant growing up in a broken home dealing with insecurity dealing with issues of inadequacy that's a giant dealing with an addiction that's a giant dealing with a brokenness in your home dealing with disobedient children dealing with loneliness that can't that you cannot seem to escape that's a giant giant showed up then and giants still show up today and just like goliath shows a friend you've got your own giants in your life if you don't believe me friend just keep living and vagina will show up in your life and i want you to understand friends when the giant shows up it shows up to try to remind you that you're inadequate it shows up to try to remind you that you are insufficient it shows up to try to remind you of what you cannot do i want you to know something about these giants they don't go away easily the scriptures say that for 40 days straight this giant keeps showing up and announcing the same words 40 days straight every morning the giant showed up every morning there he was making his announcement one more time and sometimes there are giants in your life that show up every single morning that you wake up every single morning that you wake up when you thought things would get better yet still they are still in the same place every single morning when you anticipated things changing and yet sometimes things still remain the same these giants are they have one purpose to steal your confidence to steal your faith to paralyze you and your fears and to make you doubt and question what god has done and what god is able to do and friends these giants show up in our lives what we love about the scriptures is that as much trouble as the giant is having in the it calls him in the first half of the text we then read in around verse 20 that all of a sudden david's name is mentioned and we watch dave but as david teaches us and david shows you and i how to how to fight our giants well and the first thing that david reveals to us if you and i are going to fight our giants well first of all we got to refuse to be afraid their their their fear is crippling matter of fact fear is so damaging that for 40 days all they are doing is trembling at what the giant has said to them fear is not only crippling but fear is contagious because the entire nation has the same disease friends the same thing applies to you you got to be careful who you hang out with because if you hang out with fearful people the same fears that they have will jump onto you and you will find yourself in the same position this fear is so crippling it has them standing still for 40 days nobody calls a prayer meeting no one organizes a plan nobody tries to put together an operation no they are running around in fear for 40 days but then david shows up the scripture tells us that david was just on his job for uber eats door dash he was just delivering food to his brothers and when he was delivering food to his brothers he overheard that something else was happening he overheard this giant soaking trash to god's people and when david heard it i want you to notice that david does not react out of fear everyone else is reacting out of fear but david reacts out of faith and there's a big difference and a big gap between reacting out of fear and reacting out of faith fear will have you staying in bed all day fear will have you given up before you even started fear will have you thinking the worst is going to happen fear will have you doubting yourself and doubting god but when you show up with faith david says who is this uncircumcised philistine that is defying the armies of the living god and somebody here today friend it's time out for you operating in your fears because your fears are not of god timothy said it this way paul wrote to him god has not given us the spirit of fear but the spirit of power and a sound mind and of discipline and friend i want to remind you today that fear has no place in your life fear has no place in your words fear has no place in your mind fear has no place in your life fear does not belong to you no it's a tool of the enemy to distract you from what god has called you to be instead like david you need to say who is this talking trash to a child of god no weapon formed against me shall prosper the lord is my shepherd i shall not want greater is he to send me than he that's in the world and my god shall supply all of my needs according to his riches in christ jesus i've been young and now i'm old but i've never seen the righteous forsaken or a seed begging bread i will look to the hill from which cometh my help my help comes from the maker of heaven and earth friend you got to start speaking faith in your life speak faith over your children speak faith over your finances speak faith over your future speak faith over what god can do not what you can do but what god can do yeah yeah yeah you need to go ahead right now and serve an eviction notice on every fearful thought to try to show up in your mind about what can't happen about what if they don't heal you what if the cancer spread what if the relationship doesn't work out what if they still go away that's not your thoughts as a child of god you got to keep grabbing your faith and say god is able god is a healer god is a keeper god can do it and even if he don't he's still god and i'm still going to trust him anyhow it could happen but i'm still going to trust god this david says you got to reject all of your fears you've got to reject them it doesn't mean that you're not aware of reality but you are more aware of your god than you are the problems friends you do understand you got two options in life either you can magnify your problems or you can magnify your god but you can't do both you can't have big problems in a little god no no no when your problems get bigger you just keep on magnifying your god and the bigger your problems the bigger your god and the bigger your god the more you can face it the more you can handle it the more you can go to sleep the more you can trust god why because you know that god is able and i am putting my faith in him we've got to reject reject we got to reject our fears we got to reject our fears hold on to these verses this week write them down in your notes second timothy 1 and 7. write them down psalm 27 and 1 he says this the lord is my light and my salvation whom shall i fear write it down the lord is a strong love of my life of whom shall i be afraid here's another one deuteronomy 31-6 write it down be strong and courageous do not be afraid or terrified because of them for the lord your god goes with you he will never leave you nor forsake you here's one more write it down philippians 4 verses 6 and 7 do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your request to god and the peace of god which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in christ jesus so this week when fear tries to invade your life tries to invade your mind you fight your fears with the word of god and you let the word of god do all of the talking for you hold on to those verses this week you gotta you gotta you gotta refuse to be afraid refuse to be afraid not only that but then secondly you gotta remember your past victories when they hear that david has said these words who is this uncircumcised philistine and david is the first one that seems to have a level of faith to want to fight this giant that eventually david rhines up in front of saul and around verse 33 it says this saul replied you're not able to go out against this philistine and fight him you're only a young man and he has been a warrior from his youth verse 34 but david said the saul your servant has been keeping his father's sheep when a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock i went after it struck it and rescued it rescued the sheep from his mouth when it turned on me i seized it by its hair and i struck it and killed him verse 36 your your servant has killed both the lion and the bear and this uncircumcised philistine will be like one of them because he has defied the armies of the living god and the lord has rescued me from the paul of the lion and of the paul of the bearer will also rescue me from the hand of the philistine this is david teaching us that you if you and i are going to fight the giants that come in my lives we have to remember the victories that we've already had there there it is if you enter my high school there in my high school immediately upon entering the door to the right is a trophy case and there there in that trophy case are trophies throughout the history of the high school in that and that trophy case you'll find a championship that we won our junior year it's it's in that trophy case in that in that trophy case you will find another state championship from the early 80s in that trophy case you will find trophies that reach back from the 60s and 70s all the way up to carrying time and i don't care what you're looking for if you go there and take your time you will find academic trophy you will find basketball trophy you will find football and track trophies you will find trophies from every season every sport every performance they are all stacked in there some have dust on them some you can hardly read the letters but it's a trophy case full of past victories that happened from students that went to that high school and i just believe that somebody in this room today as you prepare to face a giant that may be in front of you i want to encourage you to go back and look at your own trophy case i i i just believe if you took time to look in your trophy case it would help you to get through the moment that you're facing right now david said this is not the first time i've ever had a giant standing in front of me this is not the first time that someone has threatened me this is not the first time that i've had a situation no no no and i believe that there are men and women this morning in this room and online and i came by here to remind you don't you remember when the odds were stacked against you and they told you you weren't going to graduate they told you it wouldn't happen and yet god did it anyway don't you remember what they said you would be and what they said you'd be able to do but look at you right now god has exceeded all of their expectations don't you remember when mama got diagnosed the first time and she went through treatment and then on the last day she rang the bell don't you remember when they said it only last one year but god saw you through five years don't you remember when you couldn't pay your rent but somehow god showed up somehow god provided don't you remember when there was no food to be seen but god stretched some stuff don't you remember that all you wanted was a tank of gas and god got you a tank of gas and sustained you all the way through don't you remember when he broke your heart and you thought you'd never recover but the lord has healed your heart and restored your heart and blessed your heart and sent somebody out so somebody better could come in don't you remember when you were sick in the bed and you didn't know how you get through don't you remember when mama died when daddy died when grandmama died don't you remember when you sat on the front row and you thought life would never get better again but look at you now god he's restored you he's strengthened you he's healed you he's gave you a new foundation hallelujah somebody weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning time your wounds are still here but you got some victories because the lord has seen you through hallelujah somebody somebody today you ought to go home get you a piece of paper and just start writing out the victories that god has seen you through he's seen you through court cases he's seen you through unemployment he's seen you through sickness he's seen you through enemies he's seen you through hellish situation and yet here you are today and you're only here cause you got victories behind you you've got victories he shown you and guess what somebody the same god that got you through that hallelujah somebody is the same god that will get you through today you ought to bless him in this place right now you ought to give him praise at home right now that it may be new to you but it ain't new to god hallelujah somebody remember your past victories oh oh we serve a faithful god and sometimes the way we get through the day is remembering what god has already done hallelujah somebody and i know it may be hard sometimes i know it may be overwhelming sometimes and i know it may be difficult sometimes but this ain't the first time you've been through something this may be the hardest one you've seen this may be the most challenging one that you've seen but guess what this ain't the first time that you've seen giants this ain't the first time that you've had doubters and you have enemies no no no the same god that worked through the hand the power of the lion and the paul of the bear the same god that we'll see you through this time yes he will he is the same god he's the same one he is the same god he is the same god he is the same god yes he is he is the same god yes he is oh yes he is yes he is he is the same guy he's the same one that comforted you when nobody else was around he's the same one they wiped tears out of your eyes when you didn't know what to do he's the same one that held your hand when nobody else was around he was the same one that got you through your 20s and got you through your teenage ears and got you through your thirties he's the same god yes he is sometimes you just got to pray lord do it again lord do it again you gotta remember you gotta you gotta reject fear you gotta remember your past victories and then thirdly you've gotta reject using others armor david is about to go to war with this giant and saul who was afraid to fight himself has the nerve to give david his armor armor that he was afraid to fight with in his own self and yet he tries to give it to saul give it to david and david being humble puts it on but the scriptures tell us around verse 38 that when he tried to walk in and he couldn't walk in it he couldn't walk in it because he wasn't used to it and then he says round verse 30 i cannot go in these because i'm not used to them so then he took them off and then verse 40 says he then took his staff in his hand and found five smooth stones put him in a shepherd's bag and when his sling then went in the war it's a reminder that you got to be careful of trying to be like everybody else it is a reminder that we live in a world that will try to pressure you to fit into the world's molds that we live in a world that will tell you that this is the way you ought to live and this is the way you ought to do life and this is the way you ought to do marriage and this is the way that you ought to earn a living this is the way we live in a world that will constantly try to put on you armor that does not fit and he says i want to remind you that you cannot try to fight a giant using somebody else's weapons or somebody else's arm or that god's plan and god's way and god's will and god's purpose for your life is unique from anybody else and anytime you and i try to wear somebody else's appointment somebody else's armor somebody else's assignment it will fail every other time you know he didn't ask you to pray like they prayed he didn't ask you to do what they did no if you go to god and you lean on god and you trust on god in the way in which god has relied on you and guided you and has directed you then this is what god has called you to do you cannot be like you cannot emulate no you have to be who god has called you to be and every time somebody has tries to force you into some mode you remind yourself i'm not serving you i'm serving god this don't even feel right it don't look like me it don't fit right i can't even walk in this because this is not who god called me to be instead i will pursue god in the very character in the very nature and the very will in which he's put on my life his his his plan is personal to your life comparing your life and stop competing and stop emulating instead you stand on the will of god and you say well i haven't had that many battles yet it doesn't matter how many battles you've had what matters is that the god that has been faithful to you is the god that will be faithful to you in this moment and will give you what you need to press through if you reject trying to be like everybody else here's a laugh and then i'm done you got to rely on your faith in god verse 45 says you come against me with sword and spear and javelin but i come against you in the name of the lord almighty the god of the armies of israel whom you defied this day the lord will deliver you into my hands verse 46 and i will strike you down and cut off your head and this everyday i will give the carcasses of the philistine army for the birds and the wild animals and the whole world we know that there is a god in israel and all those gather will know verse 47 that not by sword or spear that the lord saves but the battle is the lord's and he will give all of you into my hands i want you to notice i close here i want you to notice that when david goes into this war david is not just work not relying on his slingshot abilities that david is not aware of not not relying upon his military training that david not relying upon his sophisticated mechanisms or maneuvers or strategy i want you to catch this that in the scriptures you're going to see this over and over again you're going to see that god sometimes just uses strange approaches to accomplish his will you're going to see that sometimes you'll have people march around the wall seven times and it seems like a strange strategy but i always want you to know that it's not the strategy that is won in the battle you're gonna find another time when he when he opens up in hezekiah praise before god and god sends an angel in one night that wipes out 165 000 people you'll see in the new testament where where paul and silas are praying in jail and god just opens up the gates i want you to know that it's not so much how god does it i want you to know that the reason that david is able to go into this battle is that he is going under the power of the name of the lord god and because he's going under the power of the name of the lord god he doesn't care what he has in his hand he doesn't care how strong he might be or how weak he might look all he knows is this and that when somebody defies god's child when somebody threatens god's child that because you're god's child you have an access to god that now gives you a power that you don't have by yourself and so when david marches toward this giant who looks at him like he's nobody david does not back up or retreat because david says listen you come against me with your sword and your javelin and all your power but i come against you with the name of the lord on my side and because i have the name of the lord on my side i know he's going to get the victory and i know that i will in you and will i in you it will not be for my glory it'll be so everybody will know that the lord god is able and the lord god is a living god and so david makes his way and the scriptures say he slings that stone and the stone hits him in the middle of his forehead and this nine foot giant falls on the ground but you and i do know it wasn't just a stone that took him down no it was the name of the lord god friends i came by to tell somebody today i don't know what your giant is i don't know how tall they may be i don't know what threats they may have issued but i came by to remind somebody today that when you declare and stand on the name of god anything in your way has to come down it has to move out the way it has to move to a side it has to bow down why because the name of the lord is your strength and the name of the lord is your strong tower and as long as you have god on your side even if you lose the job you still win even if the cancer remains you still win even if the relationship ends you still win because with god on your side greater is he is in you than he that's in the world and david is a giant killer but i believe he's not the only giant killer in the room but i believe if we called the roll this morning there's some giant killers in this room that can stand and declare i know what god can do i've seen him take down giants i've seen him make roads i've seen him move enemies i've seen him move obstacles i've seen him move cancer i've seen him restore there's some giant killers in the room today if you're a giant killer in the room you ought to give god praise even in your house you ought to give god praise because god has given you victory after victory the enemy was much bigger but god showed up and he used your weapons to move that enemy out your way and somebody else today you're facing a giant and i just want you to know you are standing among giant killers if you need encouragement just look at me if you need encouragement just look at your neighbor and they're waving their hands as a testimony that god will move it out the way god will heal your body god will restore your life the enemy cannot have you the enemy cannot have your future get out of here fear i'm a child of god and because god belongs to me and i belong to god i'm gonna be all right hallelujah [Music] [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Music] hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah bless his name today bless his name today bless his name today bless his name today bless his name today bless his name today bless his name today bless his name today [Applause] bless his name bless his name today bless his name today [Music] somebody today [Music] somebody today needs prayer somebody today needs prayer because you are facing a giant in your life somebody today needs prayer because you have a loved one
