“Facing Your Giants”
1 Samuel 17:1-58
Introduction
Main Point: We all encounter “giants” in our lives—obstacles, fears, and seemingly
insurmountable challenges.
HOW CAN WE FACE OUR GIANTS WITH FAITH?
1. Identify Your Giants (vs. 4-7)
• Goliath was intimidating
• Our Modern Giants
o fear of failure, addiction, relational struggles, financial burdens, etc.
• Action: Identify the giants you’re currently facing.
2. Follow David’s Approach: He Chose Faith Over Fear (vs. 26, 34-37)
• David’s Confidence: God would deliver him from Goliath.
• David didn’t rely on his own strength but on God’s.
• Action: Replace fear with faith.
o Philippians 4:6-7
3. Choose Your Battle: Use Wisdom (vs. 45-47)
• David’s Purpose: defending God’s honor.
• Discern your battles.
• Action: Fight for God’s glory, not personal gain.
o Colossians 3:17
Conclusion
