This weekend we’re going to look at a story that has become embedded in the culture and language of nations all around the world. It is so well known that it has become a way of describing any conflict in which there is a huge disparity between the combatants, whether describing athletes, companies or nations.

The phrase, “It is a classic David versus Goliath match up,” creates a certain image.

And our event from David’s life is the source of that picture. It is one of the best known and most loved stories in the Bible. It is the story of young David’s defeat of the giant named Goliath. It is in this battle that we will be reminded of a few gigantic lessons as well as how God equips us for the battles in our lives today.
