Goliath shows up in this story and challenges Israel to a fight once again. This story describes what he says, how he looks, and what the challenge is- Win and we’ll be come your servants- lose and you become ours. Goliath becomes a large taunting enemy before Israel getting in their faceA formidable foe- a destroyer. Israel loses this one- they lose it all. They must winSome of you understand what it means to be in  the fight of your life- Such it is with the Goliaths in our own lives. This is a literal historical story from the Bible. We don’t fight Goliaths anymore- but we do have fights we need to fight. Fight the good fight of faith. Fight the flesh. Fight the Devil. You gotta fight. “everyone fights- no one quits” As your pastor- you must know- I’m fighting for you. I’m fighting for this churchPast few months- cult trying to infiltrate our church- moonies- rebuke them HARSHLY

1 tim 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnessesIt not to say that its not difficult or dangerous, but its worth it. We must FIGHT1 cor 9:26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.Col 1:29 “for this I toil” Eph 6:12 “we wrestle not against flesh and blood” WE are all usually in some sort of fight in our lives. Some sort of sin. Something we need to start doing. Something we need to stop doing. Here’s the problem tho- Goliaths are bad.

1.Here’s what Goliaths do in your life- the figurative ones- Goliaths take your territory- v1 Now the Philistines gathered their armies together to battle, and were gathered at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah; they encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.When a Goliath comes into your life- they take more than you thought and stay longer than you intended- You think “its not a big deal’ and next thing you know, you’ve changedYou’re less loving. Less disciplined. Less controlled. Less spiritual. You’re differentMatt 4: 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”That’s what satan does! Jesus already had the land- Satan wanted to take it!Goliaths scheme against you 3 The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with a valley between them.Psalm 26:9-10 Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men, 10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.

The Goal of Goliath was simple- Destroy the Israelites- and they had a plan- WAR

Those things in your life are coming after you have a plan to destroy you- strategic

Goliaths look big 4 And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

Whenever you’re going through something- it always looks bigger than you thought it would be

A proverbial hill that seems to big to climb. Too much debt, weight, sin, addiction, pain

Goliaths protect themselves at all costs-  Read v 5-7
