Underdog’s Playbook Title
Hello & Welcome to Redemption Church of Plano Tx. My name is Chris Fluitt and I am sure glad you are here!
We are in the 6th week of our message series – The Underdog’s playbook.
Killer Instinct: Permission to Slay
Have you ever thought you had a problem beat, only for it to come back stronger?
I have…
It’s frustrating, isn’t it?
I thought the battle was over, but now I’m facing the same giant again.
David didn’t make that mistake.
He didn’t just knock Goliath down—he took the sword and finished him off.
Because if he didn’t, Goliath may have gotten back up.
WHAT IF WE WON TODAY & NEVER HAD TO FACE THAT GIANT AGAIN?
We need a killer instinct to finish the fight—to once and for all slay the giants that keep coming back.
We live in a culture of temporary solutions.
The problem? We confuse progress with a completed work.
-We think the battle is over, so we let our guard down.
-We celebrate too soon, ease up, and before we know it—the giant rises again.
David didn’t just fight Goliath—he finished him.
(1 Samuel 17:51, NIV)
David had a killer instinct—he didn’t stop until the enemy was fully defeated.
So today, I want to ask: What’s the giant in your life that you keep letting get back up?
I want to give you an underdog strategy…
Underdog Strategy #6: How to Have Killer Instinct in Your Life
1. Stop Settling for “Almost” Victory
David didn’t walk away after the stone hit Goliath…
-Did NOT take victory lap.
-Didn’t post an Instagram selfie. #slay #stayhumbleandhustle #BUTFIRSTCOFFEE
David ran toward his giant to make sure the fight was finished.
Too many of us settle for almost victory.
But almost isn’t victory.
Action step: Don’t stop at progress—fight for complete victory.
Make specific goals and do not stop until they are met!
Don’t settle, grab the victory.
2. Take the Enemy’s Sword and Use It
David didn’t even have a sword—so he used Goliath’s own weapon against him.
Later in David’s life he would be on the run from angry King Saul. David would say to a priest… do you have any weapons I could use?
(1 Samual 21:9, NIV)
The victory you have today, may arm you in future battles.
Action step: Use your past pain as a weapon to fight current battles & help others.
You have some past victories.
You have some testimonies!
You have some lessons learned & skills acquired!
ARM YOURSELF! You should be stronger today.
3. Once It’s Dead, Walk Away
David cut off Goliath’s head and never had to fight him again.
Some of us defeat a giant but don’t leave the battlefield.
David did not keep his giant around…
Neither did Jesus…
Jesus didn’t almost defeat sin—he crushed it, once and for all.
He says this on the cross…
(John 19:30, NIV)
COME CELEBRATE EASTER – April 20
Jesus did not almost defeat your sin, shame, guilt, death, hell, grave… He finished it!
Action step: Burn the bridge to your past struggle. Make it impossible to go back.
Be changed forever. Transformation.
-Repent and be prayed for.
-Be baptized and wash your past away.
-Have an experience with God’s Spirit that changes you forever!

3. Once It’s Dead, Walk Away
What’s the giant that you keep letting get back up?
Debt?
Bitterness?
Addiction?
Unhealthy relationships?
Spiritual inconsistency?
You have permission to slay it today.
Not next week.
Not eventually.
Today.
Finish it
1. Identify the Giant That Needs to Die
It’s time to call it out and stop pretending it’s not a big deal.
Write it down. Name it. Acknowledge it.
2. Take a Bold Step to Kill It
Cut it off. Delete the number. Confess the sin. Make the change.
Make a goal and be accountable.
Do one thing that makes it impossible for the giant to come back.
3. Use Your Victory to Help Someone Else
David didn’t just win for himself—he won for Israel.
Mom & Dad – Your battle is for your kids. Show your kids how to finish a fight.
Share your story. Encourage someone. Help them fight their battle.
