For our Christian Character Formation this week we will study the story of young David facing Goliath (1 Samuel 17:25-50). We will also learn how we can overcome a giant in our life. We focus on the virtue of courage, which is “God’s power for you to overcome fear.” We will explore how a young shepherd boy, no older than age 13, who had just secretly been anointed to become Israel’s new king (since Saul who we talked about last week, has now rejected God’s ways and God has promised to replace him on the throne). David faces the towering giant knowing that the fate of Israel is on the line, yet he loudly proclaims that God will prevail. This week we explore how we can have courage and faith like David, able to face our giants with confidence.
We encourage you to have conversations regarding David’s courage and faith, God’s protection, and how we can live with this same courage and confidence in our daily lives.
Blessings on your week!

John 16:33
"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcame the world."
1 Samuel 17:47
All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.
