"David and ___." Just say the phrase and almost anyone can finish it. Even folks who have never read the story itself think they know the basic meaning: the little guy vs. the giant, the underdog gets the victory, unexpected weapons can take down a much bigger enemy. Is that the real meaning of this famous story? Do we read 1 Samuel 17 so we can figure out how to defeat the Goliaths in our life with “five smooth stones”? Join us this Sunday as we take a fresh look at a well-known story and see our Savior where too often we’re told to look for ourselves.
We continue our series covering the Old Testament book of First Samuel. We will hear the stories of King David and Solomon, the building of the Temple, and the glory of Israel under God’s blessing in the land of promise. We pick up with the introduction of Saul and will follow the story of the newly appointed King.
