July 12, 2026 "David & Goliath" 1 Samuel 17:1-11

What if the greatest underdog story ever told is actually about something far bigger than one boy with a sling? Josh opens 1 Samuel 17 not as a simple tale of courage, but as a story pointing toward humanity's deepest need. Through Hebrew word study, Josh reveals that Goliath's armor carries the root letters for snake, his scale-covered body an unmistakable echo of the serpent in Eden, defying the armies of the living God. The forty-day challenge, the crushed head, the stone sinking like Pharaoh's army; every detail pulses with Israel's history and cries out toward a future Shepherd who would also refuse the world's weapons, step into the valley, and fight the real Goliath: sin and death itself. Josh's invites us to step slightly to the side of the window we've always looked through, revealing not just a good tree, but an entire garden. We're reminded that our own stumbles don't disqualify us from pursuing the living God.If you are interested in joining our service in-person, you can visit us each Sunday at 9:30am CST.
