How to Face Goliath: Living Like the Battle Belongs to the Lord

Series: Sermons

Sarah Stewart

June 19, 2021

Listen to the audio recording

"This beloved biblical story of David and Goliath feeds our appetite for the audacious underdog’s defeat of an arrogant bully. Underneath the familiar trope, there’s a challenge to us all. David’s defiance reveals the prophetic voice of young people, exercising godly authority as they speak out against evil, in a world that tends to discount their courageous voices. The truth is, we each are called to participate in God’s transformation of the world, whatever our age or stage of life. And God has outfitted us with everything we need to face the Goliaths in our lives without flinching."
