SUNDAY SNAPSHOT... (Common People~Uncommon God)



(Wk3) FACING YOUR GIANTS!

BIG IDEA... Would you be willing to place your COMMON LIFE into the hands of an UNCOMMON GOD?

Couple things to note from a MAN (David) who was willing to place his COMMON LIFE into the hands of an UNCOMMON GOD...

David cried out... "You come at me with sword-spear-javelin - I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts-the GOD of the armies of Israel!"

In David's good days-no one was better!
In his bad ones-no one was worse!
The heart God loved was a checkered one!

Notice something often overlooked in this story...
David doesn't sit back and wait for his giant - he RUNS TOWARD him with a God-Saturated Soul!

Giants lurk everywhere!
You MUST face them-yet your not alone!
Focus on God - GIANTS ALL!
Focus on yourself - YOU FALL!

Another interesting thought...
Read 1 Samuel 17 - TWO mentions of the GIANT to NINE mentions of GOD!
FOUR TIMES more focus on God-that's PERSPECTIVE!

"Lift your eyes Giant-Slayer! The God who made a miracle out of David is ready to make on out of you!" (Lucado)

Excited about this Sunday - it's YOUTH INVASION SUNDAY!
Duncan (our GROW/Youth Pastor) will be speaking!
He's gonna tear it up! Don't miss it!
