Taking Down Giants

``There are gonna be a lot of church people in hell because the church is not the way into heaven. It is only through the one who was crucified, buried, and rose again from the dead. His name's Jesus. Do you know him? Not about him. Are you in a relationship with him? Romans 10 says, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. You have a responsibility to call on the name of Jesus. [00:29:16] (29 seconds)  #KnowJesusPersonally

You're gonna face giants. You wanna know why? Because you ticked off the enemy. You keep living for Jesus. You keep growing in Christ. You keep talking about the lord. You keep serving god. You keep making a difference in other people's lives. You got the enemy's attention, and that's a good thing. Because if you are walking around in a spiritual coma, he wouldn't mess with you, but you're gonna face giants that are bigger than you. But you know what? You can trust God because he's proven himself again and again and again and again and again. [00:24:58] (40 seconds)  #GiantsWillCome

While you're all doing your little army thing and I was tending dad's sheep, know this, that one day a lion came out. And, yeah, I was shaking in my sandals, but I had a responsibility to care for my father's sheep. And I know my God had made me some promises that he would be my refuge and my strength. And there came a day where I had all I can stands, I can stand. And I said to the lion is enough is enough. And I stepped up to the lion, and God showed up. [00:20:08] (37 seconds)  #StepUpInFaith

And some people are like, well, how did he get to this point in his life? We're you know, I mean, he's got this massive giant there. I mean, how did David muster up the courage? You gotta understand something. David had learned something in his life that we need to catch because there is no secret sauce. There are no shortcuts. What David had learned was, man, getting to this point in your life was about a step by step, day by day, daily grind of trusting God. That's what it is. [00:17:01] (34 seconds)  #DailyFaithGrind

I use this illustration a lot, but I got a lot of contacts in here. A lot of information in this little device here, a lot of contacts. But you know what? Unless I make the call, there's never a connection. The information just sits there. You have to reach out and ask Christ to be your savior. That's your responsibility in this whole thing. Jesus did all the heavy lifting. Now he says, here's your choice. I put before you life and death. And here's what the Bible literally says. Please choose life [00:29:45] (36 seconds)  #ChooseLifeToday

Nobody rolls out of bed, you know, fully Proverbs three, five, and six, you know, we'll get there in a minute, trusting God with all their heart. It is a day by day, step by step, daily grind of faith. And some days you're wondering, is God even doing anything? So all of a sudden, David steps up and he's like, man, I'm gonna go do this. I'm gonna go take out Goliath. [00:18:36] (30 seconds)  #StepByStepFaith

This does not glorify God. Sir, you have a wife that you're fighting for. Sir, you have children you're fighting, sir. Hey, sir, you're fighting for some grandkids. Why is this giant allowed? Remember that word in the text last week. Who is allowing this to happen? Why did he say allow? Because that giant had no authority and no business paralyzing God's kids by fear.

You gotta understand something. This is a weird space to be in because if you know the story of what God had already done in Israel's life up to this point, it's like, why would you question God now? God took you through that and through that and through that and through that, and you defeated what was seemingly a giant there and a giant there and a giant there, and you come to the giant here and now you're gonna question him? The KJV says, is there not a cause to do something about this? [00:12:38] (32 seconds)  #TrustGodsTrackRecord
