Outline

Intro: Have you ever considered how your fear and cowardice damage God's reputation?

I. THE FAITHLESS KING
“Saul, the king after Israel’s heart, the king whose physical stature qualified him to lead Israel into battle, cowered before (Goliath). – Mark Boda

II. THE KINGLY UPSTART
“In this scene, we find ourselves faced with acquiring a God-dominated imagination and rejecting a Goliath-dominated imagination.” – Eugene Peterson

III. THE TRUE CHAMPION
“Jesus is the true and better David, whose victory becomes the people’s victory, though they never lifted a stone to accomplish it themselves.” – Tim Keller

Takeaway: You are David!
