David and Goliath Sermon<\/strong> — Sermon outline by Tom Moore on the trust in God, the preparation and the willingness to fight that we see in David.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION:<\/p>\n

A. Probably one of the most familiar stories in the Bible is the story of David and Goliath.<\/p>\n

1. It is a story of a shepherd’s bravery and trust in God<\/p>\n

2. It is a story about a young man being prepared<\/p>\n

B. The Battle Scene (1 Sam. 17:1-3)<\/p>\n

1. Envision in your mind two mountains with a large valley running between them<\/p>\n

2. On the one mountain, you have the Israelites and on the other, you have the Philistines — both come to battle<\/p>\n

C. Goliath’s Description and His Challenge (1 Sam. 17:4-11)<\/p>\n

1. While the Israelites and the Philistines were sizing each other up, the “champion” warrior came out of the Philistine camp.<\/p>\n

2. His name — “Goliath of Gath” whose height was “six cubits and a span,” that is, 9 1\/2 feet tall 1 Samuel 17:5-7<\/p>\n

3. Notice<\/p>\n

a. Goliath was covered with the best armor of the day<\/p>\n

b. His armor weighed a whopping 148 pounds<\/p>\n

c. Goliath had a shield that was carried by one of the Philistines (vs. 7, 41), and his spear weighed 17 pounds. 1 Samuel 17:8-11<\/p>\n

4. Goliath’s challenge<\/p>\n

a. Goliath in all his fierceness stood before the Israelites taunting them<\/p>\n

b. Goliath wanted them to send out their champion to fight — and this would decide the battle<\/p>\n

c. When the Israelites heard this — they showed themselves to be cowards — they were “greatly afraid”<\/p>\n

D. David Arrives on the Scene (1 Sam. 17:12-30)<\/p>\n

1. David the youngest son of Jesse went to the camp of the Israelites to carry food<\/p>\n

2. As David came near and greeted his brothers, Goliath comes forth and taunts the Israelites, as he had been doing for the last 40 days — each time Israel trembled in fear. 1 Samuel 17:26<\/p>\n

3. Notice what David says<\/p>\n

4. The people tell David that Saul has offered his daughter in marriage and wealth to anyone who can defeat Goliath<\/p>\n

E. David Volunteers to Fight Goliath (1 Samuel 17:31-37)<\/p>\n

1. David says, Let no man’s courage fail — he will fight 1 Samuel 17:36-37<\/p>\n

2. Note<\/p>\n

3. David seems to in anger say that Goliath will end up like this lion and bear — because he has “defied the armies of the living God” — a kingly attitude<\/p>\n

F. David is Armed for the Fight (1 Sam. 17:38-40)<\/p>\n

1. Saul puts his best armor on David, but David was unaccustomed to the armor and removed it<\/p>\n

2. Instead of the armor, David took his staff, a sling, and five smooth stones he had gathered from the brook in the Valley of Elah<\/p>\n

G. David Battles Goliath (1 Sam. 17:41-54)<\/p>\n

1. David goes to meet Goliath, and when Goliath saw David 1 Samuel 17:43-44; 1 Samuel 17:45-47<\/p>\n

2. Notice David’s reaction<\/p>\n

3. 1 Samuel 17:48-54<\/p>\n

4. David was victorious!<\/p>\n

H. In this David and Goliath Sermon<\/em> let us look back at this great event in Hebrew history and learn a few valuable lessons that will help us to be more faithful today.<\/p>\n

DISCUSSION: [ Discussion of this David and Goliath sermon. ]<\/h2>\n

A. DAVID FOUGHT FOR THE LORD<\/p>\n

1. 1 Samuel 17:32<\/p>\n

a. David has seen how all of Israel was afraid to confront Goliath<\/p>\n

b. David knew it was up to him<\/p>\n

c. Goliath had “defied the armies of God” and needed to be taken down!<\/p>\n

d. Notice that David “RAN” to the fight (1 Sam. 17:48)<\/p>\n

2. All fighting for the Lord was not always done in a physical battle. There are many great men and women in the Bible who were willing to fight for the Lord<\/p>\n

a. Noah fought for the Lord even though he and his family were the only righteous ones left on the earth (Gen. 6-7)<\/p>\n

b. Abraham was willing to do whatever the Lord required of him — without question (Gen. 12 and 22)<\/p>\n

c. Joseph stood his ground for the Lord against Potifer’s wife. Joseph said, “How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God” (Gen. 39:9).<\/p>\n

d. Elijah fought for the Lord to the point that Ahab and Jezebel wanted to kill him (1 Kgs. 17-19)<\/p>\n

e. John the Baptizer literally lost his head for fighting for truth and morality (Mt. 14)<\/p>\n

f. Peter & John in Acts 4 and 5 fought for the Lord even though the Sanhedrin warned them not to<\/p>\n

g. Paul fought for the Lord to the point that he was stoned and left for dead (Acts 14:19)<\/p>\n

3. We need to fight for the Lord just like these great men of the past have done.<\/p>\n

a. Jude 3<\/p>\n

b. “Fight the good fight of faith” (1 Tim. 6:12)<\/p>\n

c. 2 Timothy 4:7-8<\/p>\n

d. Hebrews 11:32-40<\/p>\n

a. These great men and women of the faith went through great hardships in fighting for the Lord — they were stoned, tortured, imprisoned, and even suffered death.<\/p>\n

b. They had not received the promise, but we have, how much more then should we be fighting for the Lord?!<\/p>\n

4. We need to be like David who fought for the Lord — even when no one else would<\/p>\n

B. DAVID PUT HIS TRUST IN THE LORD<\/p>\n

1. Lack of trust in God was the very reason that all of Saul’s army were afraid to meet Goliath in battle.<\/p>\n

2. David, though, trusted in God and was willing to face an awesome task<\/p>\n

a. David had trusted in the Lord before and was not let down<\/p>\n

b. Without trust in God, David would have been just like any other Israelite<\/p>\n

c. David’s trust in God is clearly seen in 1 Samuel 17:47<\/p>\n

3. We need this same type of trust today!<\/p>\n

a. We need this type of trust in times of adversity<\/p>\n

1) James 1:2-4, 12<\/p>\n

2) Do we trust God enough to believe these verses?<\/p>\n

b. We need to trust God over men<\/p>\n

1) The Israelites were putting trust in themselves — and therefore were afraid<\/p>\n

2) Man will let us down — God will not<\/p>\n

3) Psalm 20:6-9; Psalm 7:10<\/p>\n

4) We need David’s attitude<\/p>\n

C. DAVID WENT INTO BATTLE PREPARED, 1 Samuel 17:40<\/p>\n

1. Notice<\/p>\n

a. We know that David trusted in God, but we still see David collecting five stones instead of one — David wanted to make sure he was prepared<\/p>\n

b. God was David’s armor, but David still had to do his part in preparing himself<\/p>\n

c. God always wants us to do our part<\/p>\n

2. We are in a battle today and we must prepare ourselves<\/p>\n

a. How? Put on the whole armor of God (Eph. 6:13-17)<\/p>\n

b. We acquire the armor through study and apply the Word to our lives<\/p>\n

1) 2 Timothy 2:15<\/p>\n

2) 1 Timothy 4:13<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION: [End of this David and Goliath Sermon.]<\/p>\n

A. Are you ready to fight the Goliaths of our day?<\/p>\n

1. The Goliaths of sin?<\/p>\n

2. The Goliaths of false doctrine?<\/p>\n

3. The Goliaths of apathy? Etc.<\/p>\n

B. Will we be victorious like David?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
