G1 What did God say to you through the service / message today? G2 What stood out to you through Hudson’s testimony?
G3 Do you identify more with David in 1 Samuel 17:5—53 or with the Israelite soldiers? Why do you think this is?
G4 In the light of 1 John 2:1-2, what did Dan mean when he said “What you do now matters more than what you did then?”
G5 Imagine you were one of the soldiers in verse 52 and 53: as a soldier witnessing David’s victory and the Philistines’ retreat, how did seeing God’s power through David change your faith or perspective on God's ability to deliver His people from seemingly impossible situations?
G6 David was young when he defeated Goliath, yet he set a powerful example for the entire nation of Israel. In light of 1 Timothy 4:12, how can you, regardless of your age, set an example for others in your faith and actions, especially when facing challenges or "giants" in your life?

S1 Meditate on 1 Samuel 17:47 and pray for David’s confidence to face whatever is coming next.
