  Speaker 1: Then David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: But I come to thee in the name of the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: whom thou hast defiled. 1 Samuel 17.45 Dear Lord, when
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the problems and challenges in my life seem as big
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: as Goliath, I will mimic the thoughts and actions of David,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I will declare, what is this problem in front of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: me that thinks it's bigger than the God of Abraham, Isaac,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and Jacob? Who are these individuals that think they can
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: stop the plans of God for my life? No, I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: will not back down. Lord, I thank you like David
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and his sling. You too have given me my unique
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and special gifting to overcome any challenges I face. I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: will not force myself to put on strategies and beliefs
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that have not been tested in my faith walk. When
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the problem approaches me like Goliath in the field of battle,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I will work with what I know has been proven
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: time and time again, my faith and trust in you, God.
• 1:19

  Speaker 1: I will give it all I have and let my
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: faith and works fly. as they collide with the enemy
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: in front of me, I will let out a hallelujah
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: because it has no choice but to fall. I decree
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that all giants must fall at the feet of my
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Heavenly Father. This is my truth. This is my declaration.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name.
• 1:52

  Speaker 3: David and Goliath In our last story, we learned about
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: God's plan to choose a new king. A king with
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: a pure heart that seeks after Him. David, a young
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: shepherd boy, no older than 17, was anointed king over
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Israel by Samuel. David did not know that he was
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: anointed king, for only Samuel and God knew. However, from
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: that day forward, everything else would change. Now we will
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: learn about the giant Goliath posing a challenge to the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: people of Israel. No one would step up to his challenge,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: nobody except David. Inspired by the book of 1 Samuel.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Hello, I'm Pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Bible in a Year podcast. In our previous episode, we
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: heard how Samuel went to the home of Jesse, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: after passing every one of Jesse's older, stronger sons, God
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: told Samuel that David was the young shepherd boy who
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: would be the king. Samuel anointed David, and God's Spirit
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: filled this young man. Soon David ended up in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: king's palace, King Saul's palace. And he was called upon
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to play the harp for Saul to soothe the king,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to calm his soul that was tormented by the departure
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: of God's presence in his life. Today, we'll see how
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: David steps up to boldly face and defeat a Philistine giant.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: David's confidence isn't in his own strength, but in God's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: victory and in the promise that the battle is the Lord's. Now,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: let's listen to today's reading.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: The Israelites and the Philistines stood poised for battle on
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: two hills facing each other with a valley in between them.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: The dark clouds hid the sun and hovered closely over
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the battlefield below. Israel stood ready for battle with the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: city of Judah behind them. The Philistines had camped close,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and this was Israel's last stand to ward off the
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Philistines before they invaded Israel. Neither army desired to continue fighting,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Too many men had been lost on both sides, yet
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: peace was not an option. The Philistines desired to enslave
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the Israelite people. Saul stood with his men behind him.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: He was weary from battle and the disturbing images of
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: his nightmares. Saul peered at the army on the other side.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: The Philistine men began to part to make room for
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: a figure making its way to the front. The earth
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: began to shake slightly. And Saul could hear gasps from
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: his men as the figure made its way into view.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: A soldier from the Philistine army emerged. He loomed over
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the other Philistines. His legs were planted firmly into the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: ground like tree trunks covered with bronze armor. He had
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: a coat of bronze mail draped over his chiseled and
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: monstrous chest. His arms were like beams of stone holding
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: up his spear and shield. He stood as six feet
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and nine inches tall. of raw power. His name was Goliath,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and he was the Philistines' champion. His smile could be
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: seen through his helmet, and he raised his voice to
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the Israelites. He spoke with the bellowings of a god.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: His voice seemed as though it could crack the earth.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Why have you come up to battle? Do I not
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: represent all Philistines? Choose for yourself a champion to fight me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: If he slays me, the Philistines shall be your servants.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: But if I crush him and every bone in his body,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the Israelites shall bow at our feet. The men behind
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Saul trembled in fear behind him, and he could hear
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the rattling of shaking armor. Saul stood there silent and
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: unable to answer. Goliath smiled at their fear, and the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Philistine army laughed as Saul stood there paralyzed and speechless.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Goliath raised his spear into the air and pointed it
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: towards Saul and his army. I defy you and your armies,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: he said as he spat on the ground towards them.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Give me a man to fight, he shouted. Saul could
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: see the bloodlust in Goliath's eyes. He was truly a
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: monster designed for destruction. The Philistines chanted behind Goliath, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: banged on their shields. All of Israel was dismayed, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: beads of sweat fell from Saul's forehead. For forty days
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Goliath stood at the edge of the canyon and challenged
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the Israelites. Morning and night, Goliath's challenge would echo through
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: the Israelite camp. His bloodthirsty voice hovered over the bed
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: of Saul like a demon. Every soldier was paralyzed with fear.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: A few weeks had passed, and David was preparing food
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: to bring back to his brothers, who served under Saul.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: David would go to and from Israel's camp often. He
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: would tend to his father's sheep, and then travel to
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: camp to play music for Saul. Upon his father's request,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: he packed grains and cheeses for his brothers and their commander.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Early in the morning, David loaded up his donkey and
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: ventured back to Israel's camp. As David approached the camp,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: He could hear battle cries coming from the edge of
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the canyon. He ran towards the sound and made his
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: way up a rock to observe the battle. The two
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: armies were poised as they were before, yelling at one
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: another and goading each other into battle. However, Israel's army
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: grew silent when Goliath emerged again. David looked at Goliath closely,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: studying his movement and mannerisms. He listened as Goliath defied
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the armies of Israel, God, and their entire nation. He
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: watched as the men of Israel, his brothers included, cowered
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: in fear at the sight of Goliath. David climbed down
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: and walked among the men at camp. Have you seen
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: that Philistine giant? A man said to him, The king
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: has promised riches and his daughter to whoever kills him
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: in battle. David clenched his jaw. The words of the
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: giant resonated in his brain. The spirit of God inside
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: him was stirring. Who is this Philistine that he should
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: defy the armies of Israel and the living God? David said.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: David crossed his arms and thought deeply. His brother, Eliab,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: saw him from the other side of camp. He stormed
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: towards David and turned him around. What are you doing here?
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Eliab shouted. Who have you left the sheep with this time?
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I know why you are here, David. You just want
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: to look at the battle. David paid no attention to
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: his brother. He had just seen him run away from
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Goliath in fear. Instead, David turned and walked toward Saul's tent.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Without permission to enter, David burst through the tent and
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: knelt at the foot of Saul. David, looking down at
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the floor, said, Do not let anyone's heart fail because
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: of the giant. I will go up against him. Saul
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: and the others in his tent held in chuckles. Saul
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: helped David up on his feet and said, You are
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: not able to go up against him. You are a boy,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: and he has been killing since he was a boy.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: David gave a slight grin. His eyes were gleaming with
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: intensity and hope. David looked up and said, As you know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I keep the sheep for my father. Any time there
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: was a lion or bear that stole away a lamb
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: from the flock, I would go after it and strike
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: it down. I have delivered sheep from the jaws of lions.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I have struck them down. This Philistine shall be like
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: one of them, for he has threatened the sheep of God.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Saul and the others gritted their teeth and looked at
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: one another with concerned faces. David continued, saying, The Lord
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: has delivered me from the paw of the lion and
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: the claw of the bear. He will deliver me from
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: the hand of this giant. Saul looked down at David.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: He stroked his beard and let out a sigh. He
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: was old and unable to fight Goliath, but perhaps this
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: boy had the anointing of God. David held his breath,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: waiting for Saul's answer. He looked again at David and said, Go.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: May the Lord be with you. Then Saul immediately went
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: to the chest laying at the foot of his throne.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: You will need these, Saul said as he took out
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: his armor and began to dress David in it. He
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: put a helmet of bronze on his head and draped
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: a coat of mail over his body. He strapped his
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: sword over his shoulder and tightened his belt to keep
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: the armor together. David waddled in place, almost unable to
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: move under the sheer weight of Saul's armor. David gave
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Saul a concerned look and said, My king, I cannot
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: go out and battle with these. So David took off
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the armor. David nodded to Saul, picked up his shepherd's staff,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: and walked out of the tent. David passed by a
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: creek bed to choose five smooth stones. He put them
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: in his shepherd's pouch as he prayed to God for strength.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Without armor, having only his staff and sling, David ran
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: towards the battlefield. David came into the middle of the valley.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: The mumbles of Israelite soldiers could be heard from above.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: They watched David as he approached Goliath. The two stood
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: about fifty yards away from one another. The giant looked
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: down and saw David. Goliath laughed and spat towards him, saying,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Am I a dog that you come to me with
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: a stick? He pounded his spear against his shield and
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: cursed David by his guards. Goliath's smile turned into a scowl.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: He spoke only to David now. He did not yell
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: or raise his voice for others to hear. He simply
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: looked at David intensely and said, Come to me, boy.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I will give your flesh for the birds and beasts
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: to feast on. David met Goliath's hateful gaze and said,''
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I come to you in the name of the Lord
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: of heaven and earth. It is he you have defied.''
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: David pointed his staff to Goliath and raised his voice
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: for all to hear, saying,'' Today the Lord will deliver
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you into my hand. I will strike you down, and
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: your head will roll off your body.'' The birds and
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: beasts will feast on your corpse, and all the world
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: shall know that there is a God in Israel who
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: fights for us. At that moment, Goliath ran towards David
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: in a fury. The giant shook the earth below him
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: as he mounted an attack. David planted his feet firmly
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: into the ground. He drew a stone from his bag
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and placed it in the leather cradle of his sling.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: All was silent, and David could only hear the sound
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: of his breathing. David had one chance to hit the giant.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: If he missed, there would be no second shot. David
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: wore no helmet. It would only cast a shadow on
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: his vision, and his aim must be precise. David wore
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: no breastplate. It was heavy on his chest, and his
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: breathing must be unhindered. His sling swung in place behind
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: him as Goliath narrowed the gap between them. The giant's
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: legs burst with power, ready to launch towards him. David
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: swung his hips and released the stone into the air.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: It released with precision, whistling through the air towards Goliath.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: A direct hit. The stone sank into his forehead and
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: cracked his skull. The giant's leap was interrupted as he
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: fell to the floor. The earth quaked as his massive
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: body hit the dirt. The giant lay there motionless. David
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: wasted no time. He ran toward the Philistine, took his
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: sword from his hand and drove it straight through his neck.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: David held the head of Goliath in his hand for
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: all the Philistines to see. David could hear a roar
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: of men storming behind him as the armies of Israel
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: crossed the valley towards the Philistines. They passed David and
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: ran towards the enemy. The Philistines ran as the children
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: of Israel stormed their camp. David pursued the Philistines alongside
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: them and began to fight alongside his brothers. As the
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: battle raged on, Saul saw David from a distance fighting
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: with fury, tact and skill. Who is that warrior? Saul
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: asked his commander. That is David, the commander replied. So
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: all of Israel was liberated at the hands of David.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: David brought back the armor of Goliath and the entire
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: nation shouted in victory and praise over him. David's heart
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: of courage spoke of a greater story happening in Israel.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: A story of a shepherd who would lay down his
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: life to save his sheep. A shepherd who would fight lions, giants,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: and armies to restore his sheep to green pastures and
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: still waters. David's bravery mirrored the shepherding heart of God
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: over Israel. God would use David in years to come
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: to shepherd and guide his sheep into prosperity, safety, and refreshment.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: One day, God would send another shepherd that would rise
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: from Bethlehem. A shepherd that would slay the biggest giant
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: of all, sin and death.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Today's story begins with two enemies poised, ready for battle.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: The Philistines and Israelites each camped on hills facing each other.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: For now there is only the threat of imminent war,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: but the Philistines have a secret weapon. A ferocious, terrifying
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: giant by the name of Goliath. a man more powerful
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: than anyone on either side of the fight. This giant
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: struck fear in the hearts of his own people, let
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: alone the Israelites who watched him from a distance. Goliath
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: was not only a giant, powerful and strong, he was
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: also brash and confident, unafraid of any man who would
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: come against him. So Goliath shouted his challenge to Saul's army.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Rather than send armies against each other, they would settle
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: this one on one. Goliath would stand for the Philistines
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and Israel would send out their best hope, their best fighter.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Should the Israelite challenger win, the Philistines would serve them. Otherwise,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Israel would be slaves to the Philistines. Saul and his
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: men were unwilling to take this challenge. They were all
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: terrorized by this giant. No one stepped forward. But Goliath
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: kept issuing the challenge. For 40 days, he taunted and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: terrified Saul's army, showing nothing but contempt and anger. He
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: ridiculed not just them, but their God as well, blaspheming
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the God of heaven. Goliath respected no man or God.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: When David went to the battlefield to take food to
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: his brothers, he heard Goliath's threats and insults. The giant
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: was disrespecting Almighty God, and David was full of faith.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: and zealous and mighty in the power of God. So
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: he told Saul that he would face the terrible giant.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: This seemed like a ridiculous proposition, of course. Saul told
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: David as much and said that he couldn't send him
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: into a fight destined for death. But David told Saul
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: of the beast that he had faced, and as a shepherd,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: how he had defeated lions and bears. Then in 1
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Samuel 17, verse 37, David says this, The Lord who
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: delivered me from the paw of the lion and from
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: the paw of the bear will deliver me from the
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: hand of this Philistine. David understood that all he needed
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: was the power and the promise of God. The size
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: of the enemy is unimportant when the Lord is on
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: your side. And yes, the battle is the Lord's. So
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: David faced off against the giant. He refused to wear
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the king's armor, which was heavy and weighing him down.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: and he faced him like a shepherd with a sling
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: and some stones and the power of God. Goliath mocked
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: David and blasphemed God. But David told Goliath that it
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: was not him that he was facing but the Lord
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: of heaven and earth, and God would deliver Goliath into
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: his hands. David hurled his stone that sunk deep into
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Goliath's forehead, and the fearsome warrior fell. David ran to
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: him and removed his head, holding it high for the
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: terrified Philistines to see their champion now dead on the battlefield.
• 18:49
