David and Goliath - The Call to Follow God | 1 Samuel 17 by Christ Covenant

To find him is like finding the PEARL OF GREAT PRICE.Or, like the man who knew that an unbelievable spiritual treasure was buried in the field but not knowing exactly where. So he went and bought the whole field! He wanted to make sure that he found that treasure, the Lord Jesus Christ.And you, have you found Him? Do you know the joy of here, and eternal fellowship, with the Son of the Living God? Whatever you have to give up or do to make this incredible PERSONAL SPIRITUAL FINDING, you should do it immediately if you have not already done so. He bled and died for you. He rose again, and has returned to the Father where:FOR YOUhe now prepares an eternal place:FOR YOU.Even Hollywood, so empty spiritually, so dependent upon sex and drugs, glamour and fame, and those actors and actresses who populate the Hollywood swamp, searching for meaning, for love, for real fulfillment, now in so many ways:COME TO JESUS.Have you? Has your family, spouse, children, grandparents, grandchildren, have they hopefully, like you, found the Living Lord? The secular world, often satanically driven, hopes you and they have not. But HE, loving you, is always there, ALWAYS!There may well be at work a revival, a spiritual revival, in Hollywood. It may be slow in happening, imperceptible at times, but there everywhere, waiting like HE is.But perhaps the Jesus Movement 2025 grows and in some cases, grows aggressively. There seems to be a new quest for eternal truth among youth, millennials, Gen-Z'rs, knowing as so many do that marijuana and cocaine, and in fact all drugs, can never satisfy. They become attracted by the eternal love and forgiveness of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of Glory. Such a Hollywood-er is LOLA SHEEN, daughter of actor Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. Lola Sheen brought to Hollywood and the entire world this testimony:JESUS SAVED ME!At the ripe old age of 19 after, in her words, hitting rock bottom and suffering from the horrible disease of:IMMENSE HOPELESSNESS.Lola Sheen was so happy and thrilled with her new life, now full of happiness, peace, and eternal joy, JESUS JOY!Lola Sheen testified that she grew up with parents who were dedicated to the Hollywood industry, and as a result she said:I ALWAYS FELT SUPER ALONE.She said she could never find something that felt like home, both temporal and spiritual. Lola Sheen, like 40% of high school students so says the CDC, felt sad and hopeless, not knowing of any remedy. Therapy, drugs, nothing helped. She openly shares an incredible testimony. She said of her encounter with Jesus Christ:“I really don't know how else to put it except the fact that Jesus came in my room. His presence came to me. I felt this overwhelming sense of peace.”We can be sure that Hollywood ridiculed that epiphany, but to Lola Sheen, nothing in her life was more real. Her life, she said, is “forever changed.”There really is a youth revival at work. At the University of Kentucky, hundreds upon hundreds of youths were baptized as Christians. THE POWER OF THE LIVING CHRIST IS INDEED AT WORK IN THE GREAT YEAR 2025.Even in the secular, often anti-Christian Hollywood swamp, there comes a new enlightenment with regard to entertainment product which caters to the FAITH AND FAMILY AUDIENCE. That cinematic neglect forced Christian and family-friendly entertainment production companies to independently create outside the traditional system. Often these faith-based films, produced on flimsy budgets, delivered stunning profit margins and incredible attendance, evidencing the hunger of so many Christians and others indeed for such films. Now, PRIME, an Amazon streaming platform, will release the TV series:HOUSE OF DAVIDwhich essentially chronicles the fall of King Saul and the rise of Israel's most famous king, King David. 3000 years after his death, Hollywood will now pay honor and tribute to this incredible biblical hero and servant of the great God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. DAVID AND GOLIATH will come back to life! The saga of the shepherd boy and the giant lives again.It is so rewarding for us as Christians to know that there is at least a small part of Hollywood which recognizes the value of anything Jesus, faith-based, value-laden, and perhaps, God-willing, there is more to come. There may be as one writer said, a seismic, star-aligning shift in Hollywood's willingness to bring Biblical content into the mainstream fold. May it be so.You should watch this epic series HOUSE OF DAVID on Prime TV.You should also watch:THE CHOSEN,another excellent series based on the life and the followers of Jesus Christ and search the various streaming platforms for more faith-based content, which is there in some form or another.I for one say, PRAISE THE LORD, the great Almighty and the great I AM for the spiritual influence and motivation which makes this radical and extremely necessary change-back happen. The bottom line of these new cinematic adventures has one essential spiritual and eternal priority:TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Conventional wisdom has it that God is on the "side" of the powerful, the mightiest, and the ones with the biggest numbers, but the Bible gives us a recurring theme of God's choice to lift up the lowly and come to the aid of the weak. That's part of the unexpected reversal in the story of scrawny young David against the towering professional enemy soldier Goliath. And at the same time, for folks who know this classic of Sunday School and flannel board storytelling, it can be easy to think that God is always on "my" side, whatever that might mean. So join Sarah, Natalie, and Steve for a look at this well-known example of the Bible "flipping the script" and how to learn the right lessons from it in our own day, too. The conversation continues, here on Crazy Faith Talk!

How You Respond Determines What You Receive Your reaction determines your future. Saul and David both heard the same thing, but how they responded determined their future. Goliath was making threats. Saul heard it and David heard it. Saul reacted in fear, whereas David chose action. The king cowered but the shepherd boy was courageous. What was the difference? – David had a personal experience. He had personal victories. He had killed both a lion and a bear. The time of training came during a time of obscurity – when no one knew his name. He had no pulpit, no crown, no title- he just tended sheep. But God trained him for the kingship while he was tending sheep. 1 Samuel 17 Date of service 2/22/25

Wesley and Brenton ruin the story of David and Goliath. Well, not really the story but the... you know what? You'll just have to listen and find out!

They say, “You can't fight city hall.” Well, young David Calhoun is. In the small town of Vernonia Oregon, David is on a quest to reduce light pollution in and around the town. His focus so far has been on the main street, where they have switched to 5000K LED's. Even from his home in the woods 3 miles out of town he can see the sky glow growing. Once David becomes a state senator, which Michael Colligan is sure will happen one day, he can take the fight state-wide and save ALL of Oregon from Light Pollution! Michael Calhoun is an environmental activist from Vernonia Oregon. He currently is Board Chair of the Columbia Soil & Water Conservation District.

The Battle Is the Lord's: David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17) - Dr. Bill Cook

Pastor Kenny Keating teaches from 1 Samuel 17 showing how the real David and Goliath story points to Jesus, defeating chaos, sin, and death on the cross.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Bill Francavilla dives into the profound lessons of childlike faith and its importance in our walk with God. Reflecting on Matthew 18 and the timeless story of David and Goliath, we explore how innocence, humility, and unwavering trust in God can triumph over fear and adversity. Through personal stories and scriptural truths, we're reminded that every generation brings unique gifts to the body of Christ, and faith is often best understood through the eyes of a child. No matter how daunting the challenges may seem, God's strength is revealed when we rely on Him completely.Join us as we rediscover the beauty and power of faith that moves mountains.Key Themes:Embracing generational differences in the church.Lessons on humility and dependence on God from Matthew 18.David's fearless faith in the face of Goliath.Practical ways to nurture faith in children and lead by example.Scripture References:Matthew 18:1-6Luke 2:41-521 Samuel 17Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more messages that inspire and strengthen your faith!Welcome to Living Hope Church!

Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 17 The details of the story of David and Goliath are familiar.  Goliath stood about nine and a half feet tall ... his armor weighed 125 lbs ... the head of his spear weighed 16 lbs ... he was an undefeated champion in the kind of one-on-one battles he was suggesting with Israel's representative.  In stark contrast to the Philistine warrior, David had refused any armor and his only weapon was a sling and five stones, which he carried in his shepherd's bag.  It is a stirring story of faith and victory.  As we study the text, we must search for clues to help us understand the root of David's faith.  If we can discover what David thought and felt, we can draw close to God in the same way and know a deeper faith in our own souls. One of the keys to David's faith is his zeal for the honor of God.  Three times David makes reference to Goliath taunting God (1 Sam 17:26,36,45).  David has put the honor of God before his own life.  He is willing to risk everything to defend God's name.  David desires "that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel" (1 Sam 17:46).  To be consumed by the glory of God is to be shaped by it in everything we do.  And it does give us courage. Second, David is utterly convinced of the power of God.  God had shown Himself to be mighty in saving David from a lion and a bear as he watched over his father's sheep (1 Sam 17:34-37).  David knew that the strength of his life was rooted in the omnipotence of God.  David's declaration to Goliath revealed this foundation for his faith.  "... the LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear.  For the battle is the LORD's" (1 Sam 17:47). 

Greg talks about what we can learn from the account of David and Goliath, then he answers questions about the divide between men and women, whether a contractor should turn down work on a Buddhist temple, and determining if a passage is descriptive or prescriptive.   Topics: Commentary: What we can learn from the account of David and Goliath (08:00) Why does it seem like there's such a divide between men and women today? (19:00) Do you think I was right to turn down a request to build a large water feature for a Buddhist temple, in which there will be a Buddhist statue in the center of a reflection pool? (47:00) When should passages be interpreted as descriptive rather than prescriptive (e.g., when it comes to head coverings)?

1 Samuel 17

1 Samuel 17

1 Samuel 17

Today we read the epic story of how David defeats Goliath, a giant Philistine warrior. Fr. Mike points out that David's heroic courage in this battle came from David's faithfulness to God and to the small tasks entrusted to him as a shepherd. We learn that when we are faithful and courageous in small matters, we can face the giants in our bigger battles. Today's readings are 1 Samuel 17 and Psalm 12. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
