Transcript of David and Goliath
DAVID AND GOLIATH
“Let the weak say, I am strong“ Joel 3:10
WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL & PHILISTINE Saul prepared his
army and gathered his men to fight.
One army stood on a mountain one side and the other army on a mountain on the opposite side.
Days passed by and the two armies did not have the courage to fight….until one day
GOLIATH He was very tall and wore:1. A bronze armor. 2. A bronze helmet. 3. He carried a bronze spear
and a sword. “Who dares to fight me?
Choose one of your men to fight me. If he wins and kills me, we will be your slaves; but if I win and kill him, you will be our slaves.”
Goliath challenged the Israelites every morning and evening for forty days. No one of King Saul’s men dared to challenge him.
DAVID HEARS GOLIATH One day, David went
to check on his brothers in the army. How many brothers he had in the army?
He saw Goliath speaking rudely and challenging the soldiers. He also made fun of the Israelites and their God.
David was not afraid of him.
DAVID AND SAUL David told Saul: “Your
Majesty ...No one should be afraid of this Philistine! I will go and fight him.”
Saul: “No, how could you fight him? You are just a boy and he has been a soldier all his life!”
David: “I am sure of the power of God. The Lord is more powerful than any Amalek. I have killed lions and bears. The Lord has saved me from lions and bears; He will save me from this Philistine. Let me go and fight him and rescue the people.”
Saul: “Go, and the Lord be with you, but you have to wear the tools of war... a coat of armor, a helmet, etc.”
DAVID AND GOLIATH David wore his armor but
he could not walk because he wasn’t used to wearing it. So he took it all off and he was sure that the Lord would help him.
David took his shepherd’s stick and then picked up five smooth stones from the stream and put them in his bag. With his catapult ready, he went out to meet Goliath.
Saul’s soldiers were afraid; Philistines were laughing
DAVID AND GOLIATH
Goliath mocked David, but David believed that God will give him victory over Goliath.
DAVID DEFEATS GOLIATH
GOD’S VICTORY The Philistines were afraid... their hero
died... they ran away Saul’s men ran after them and took
their belongings David carried Goliath’s weapons to his
own tent and carried his head to Jerusalem.
Lord rescued His people by David’s hand.
CONCLUSION David did not save his people with a
sword or a spear but with the power of God as he took refuge in the Lord.
With a small sling, David could kill Goliath. Thus by using very simple tools you can win victory with the grace of God.
