Facing the Giants of Life

Sermon by Dr. Robert Lewis

11/19/2000

The Call:

• To David - take the kingdom
• To Us - Take the Kingdom

The Promise:

• To David -  The Throne
• To Us - abundant life

Israel: Giant problem - if you’re not spiritually ready, every problem will be a giant.

What made David different:

• He had already faced other giants and won.
• He had personally cultivated a big heart for God.
• He was willing to take great risks of Faith in order to prove God’s reality.

How to bring the giants of your life down:

• It requires disdain for the status quo.
• It requires close encounters with God for heart direction.
• It requires daring moments of faith at the risk of your own welfare.
