    When you study the event of David vs Goliath closely you gain some valuable insight: that the real giant that day was not the one big in stature but the one who was completely sold out to God.

    DAVID AND THE DWARF 1 SAMUEL 17: 1-56 INTRODUCTION: The story of David and Goliath is one of the most popular in all the Bible. It is undoubtedly one of the greatest incidents in the life of this Godly man that we have chosen to study. It was a contrast of incredible proportions. Anybody ...read more
