Scripture:  1 Samuel 17 Speaker:  Scott Meyer Summary: Scott Meyer, Lead Minister, brings a message from Chapter 11 of THE STORY. The sermon revolves around the story of David and Goliath as a metaphor for faith, courage, and trust in God during life's battles. Scott emphasizes that every battle we face, no matter how daunting, is an opportunity for God to demonstrate His faithfulness, as seen in David's trust in God despite overwhelming odds. David's victory is not just about courage but about reliance on God's past faithfulness to face present challenges, inspiring others to trust in God as well. The ultimate message compares David to Jesus, identifying Jesus as the "Shepherd King" who faces and defeats the greatest enemies—sin and death—on behalf of humanity. Seeing Jesus as the source of victory in our life's battles and sharing our faith stories is inspiring and uplifting to others as all of us seek to trust God completely.
