Brethren,

The David and Goliath story is a popular one. I often imagine myself as the one slaying the mammoth of a man called Goliath! But then I wake up and discover it has all been a dream. 

Our study today examines this much told encounter and draws lessons from David on how we too can triumph over the giants in our lives.

Key Learning points:
1. Look beyond the odds stacked against you. We should recognize and acknowledge that challenges exist but we should not be overawed by them.
2. The battle is not ours but God’s. In confronting the giants in our lives, we should be encouraged and strengthened by past victories the Lord had given us.
3. Act in faith in what you know and believe about God rather than what the odds say. To defeat our giants, we must put on the whole armor of God.

Brethren,

Welcome to the month of July. And to the beginning of a new quarter. 

Have you ever wondered why God described David as a man after His heart? Do you know what God meant by that statement? 

This quarter, our study series will be taking a look at the life of David, and lessons from his life. This Sunday, we kick off the quarter series with a look at the deceptiveness of appearances.

Key Learning points include:
1. God does not look at the outward appearance, class, or status but at the heart, in His choice of vessels to use.
2. The disposition of a man’s heart determines the extent to which God can use him.
3. No one is beyond God’s reach. There is no one too lowly for Him to use for His glory.

May God find our hearts like David’s, inclined to do what God wants.
