The 8 Minute Devotion

Before facing Goliath, David had defeated the lion and the bear. His success in these smaller battles prepared him for the biggest battle, as Pastor Cameron shares today. 

David's older brother Eliab scolded him for his interest in fighting Goliath - Eliab saw David as a simple, proud shepherd boy. David wasn't interested in these squabbles, but was focused on defeating Goliath, as Pastor Cameron shows us today. 

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron begins a new focus in our study of David and Solomon - "David the Giant-Slayer." When Goliath first came to challenge the Israelites, Saul and his soldiers were paralyzed by fear, focusing on the giant instead of the Lord. 

Righteousness is a key component to reigning with Christ, as Pastor Cameron reminds us today. David had integrity in his heart that led to his promotion. 

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron encourages us to seek the Lord for wisdom! The wisdom David learned as a shepherd qualified him to be chosen as a king. 

David was faithful as a shepherd boy before he was chosen to be the next king! On today's episode, Pastor Cameron encourages us to be faithful in whatever we are doing, large or small. 

God warned Samuel not to look at the outside, but to look at the heart when choosing the next king. Join Pastor Cameron as we are encouraged that God chooses us based on the desires of our heart! 

Join Pastor Cameron as we start a brand-new series on the podcast, "The Lives of David and Solomon." Our first lesson comes from David being chosen as Israel's next king - while everyone else saw a simple shepherd boy, God saw a king! 

Are all sins the same, or do they come with different consequences and different power? Join today's episode as Pastor Cameron answers this question. 

Join Pastor Cameron as he answers another question today - what should we do when prophecies are wrong, specifically the recent prophecies about the re-election of President Trump? How should we respond?
