David and Goliath, 1 Samuel 17
July 4, 2024
One of the most memorable characters of all time in wrestling would have to be Andre the Giant. At seven feet and four inches tall and five hundred pounds, he was HUGE. A similar giant in sports is Dwight Howard. Both of these men are legendary for their amazing size, however, there was a man who dwarfed them both. His height was somewhere between nine and a half to eleven feet tall, and his coat of armor alone weighed as much as a man. His spear was a two by four with a twenty-pound head on the end. His name was Goliath, and he dared defy the army of God. Here is Pastor Bill Luebkemann in First Samuel Chapter seventeen...

Often God says to us, “Don't worry about it, just wait for me and I will take care of it.” We often grow impatient and don't always wait as we should. We try to take things into our own hands and then completely mess things up.

He took matters into his own hands and offered a sacrifice, something forbidden. Here is Pastor Bill to tell us about it...

We all hate waiting. We hate to wait in long lines, we hate to wait for dinner, and we really don't like having to wait for packages to come in the mail. Well, while none of us really enjoy waiting for just about anything, some things are worse than others. For instance, waiting on medical results. Waiting for an organ donor. Here in first Samuel three, we find Saul having to wait in a pretty dire situation. His kingdom is going to be attacked by a mighty army and Samuel says wait a few days. Unfortunately, Saul didn't wait, and we're about to see what happened as a result. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann on Hope from the Word.

We can all remember times where we have felt at the end of our rope; perhaps following the loss of a job, a hurtful relationship, or the loss of a loved friend or family member.

All those that were important to her had perished, except one, a daughter-in-law who would later be in the line of David, Solomon, and Jesus. Here is Pastor Bill Luebkemann to take us through the story of tragedy turned blessing here in the book of Ruth.

Today we pick up where we left off yesterday with the story of Samson and Delilah. We tell our kids from an early age, don't touch the stove or even get near it, or you'll get burned. Some of us still like to test how close we can get. When it comes to sin, it's wise to stay as far away as possible. If you flirt with disaster, you're going to run into problems. As we'll see, Sampson found out the hard way. Pastor Bill is picking up his teaching in Judges chapter sixteen. It's the story of Sampson, a life divided!

God loves to demonstrate His glory and that is a very good thing for us. It helps us to realize our complete dependence on His sovereignty and helps us to rest, knowing He is in control. Today, we're going to look at one amazing example of God's power and glory. We see it in the life of one of the judges of Israel. He is a man named Gideon. God called him to defeat an entire army with only a handful of men. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann to bring us the Word from Judges chapter six.
