David takes on Goliath
What are you going to do for Jesus?
The Preparation
The best way to deal with your own Goliaths is to be prepared
Grow in your passion for Jesus and you won’t lose sight of him
Don’t put your trust in the things of this world
“God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised
things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are.”
1 Corinthians 1:27-28
The Preparation
The best way to deal with your own Goliaths is to be prepared
Grow in your passion for Jesus and you won’t lose sight of him
Don’t put your trust in the things of this world
Consider your eternal reward
The Battle
Take courage!
Don’t be surprised if things get worse before they get better
You’re wasting your time!
You’re irresponsible!
You have a bad character!
You’re not serious!
It can’t be done!You’re the
wrong age!
The Battle
Take courage!
Don’t be surprised if things get worse before they get better
Hit the enemy with the promises of God
The Covenant Promises of God(some good examples)

the world.”1 John 4:4

“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not
leave you or forsake you.”Joshua 1:5
“The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us
the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
