Pastor Jeff Johnson says we need friends like that. Let’s join pastor Jeff in First Samuel twenty for a great lesson on the power of encouragement.

Whether we see it or not, God protects His children and restrains evil. We’ll see a good example of that today on Sound Doctrine as we open First Samuel nineteen. If you’ll recall, Saul is envious of David and wants to kill him. But the Lord restrains Saul from harming David. Just as He protected David, He can protect you too.

Today, Pastor Jeff takes us to first Samuel seventeen. The entire Hebrew army was frozen in fear - of one Philistine Giant. Here we find a young man who would not even be old enough to join the military, yet he stepped out to fight the most feared man in the Philistine army.

. There are a lot of great stories in the Bible that we tell our kids. There is one however that I think young boys love more than almost any other. The story of David and Goliath. Here’s a little teenaged kid named David who went to the battle front, choosing only to carry his favorite sling shot and some rocks. The result - he defeated a giant of a man trained for war.

Fear is easily transferable. It is amazing how fear and mass hysteria spreads through a crowd and can even affect the bravest of men. Well as we look into First Samuel seventeen, we find a King and his entire army trapped in fear because of a man so large you would have to stand on a ladder just to touch his head. But there was one young man who did not fear this giant, because of his trust in his God. Here is the story of young Kind David and his confrontation with Goliath.

We will hear of two kinds of hearts. There’s king Saul - his heart was for himself. Then there was David - who had a heart for the Lord. Saul learned too late that to obey is better than to sacrifice.
