2. Sin Corrupts Sin had engulfed Saul, that Saul was afraid of the giant. Saul had lost his faith in God. Saul had sinned and lost his favor.

3. None in Israel had faith Each army stood opposite each other for forty days. No telling how long this would have continued if David had not offered to fight the Philistine

4. News travels fast As soon as David asked questions and inquired about the reward for defeating the Philistine, news came to Saul, and Saul sends for David. David agrees to fight not for Saul or himself, but for God, because of what Goliath had been saying.

5. David had faith David slew the lion David slew the bear And with God’s help would have no problem with the Giant

6. We must wear our own armor Saul offered his armor, but remember that Saul stood head above all the others, so his armor must have been 4x, and David was probably a medium. It was too much. David chose his own armor. A stick, five stones, and his sling

7. Do not under-estimate your opponent Goliath was laughing inside that the champion of Israel was a youth. I wonder what kind of odds Vegas would put on this battle? Do we under-estimate Satan?

8. All things are possible with God I come in the name of the Lord The Lord will deliver you into my hands Before this day is over, everyone will know that there is a God in Israel because God has already won the battle. It belongs to Him.

9. People do not keep their word Remember the agreement was that the losing side of the loser of the challenge would become the servants of the other. The Philistines saw their champion dead, and they fled. The Israelites pursued them and killed many of them.

10. Conclusion Just think of the lessons learned from this one chapter. Imagine the lessons learned if we read more of God’s word.
