An exposition of 1 Samuel 17:1-54.
David understood that the armies of Israel had no choice but to confront the armies of the Philistines. They could not run, hide or ignore the problem. Goliath stood as representative for the Philistines, and Israel was challenged to find a man to stand as representative for Israel. Although the odds were against him, and no one believed he could win the contest, David volunteered to meet the challenge. This study is designed to show the Christian how he may overcome the opposition confronting him.

An exposition of 1 Samuel 17:25-30.
As David examined the reasons why he should get involved in fighting Goliath, there were a number of people offering him poor counsel. The soldiers attempted to allure him by the riches offered by the king, and his older brother accused him of having a wrong motive in coming to the battlefield.

This study is designed to help each person arrive at decisions which glorify God, rather than pleasing men.
