Observations from our text --- - Goodness always seems weaker than evil.
- Through 20 centuries the Church has been David against the Goliath of the world.
- One of life’s greatest mysteries is the persistence of goodness and the inability of evil finally to overcome it.
- Humankind is not self-sufficient.
- The strength of Goliath was only in himself, and his pride betrayed him. David proclaimed that he came in the power of his faith in a mighty God.
- We seem to need a goal beyond ourselves in order to live with any satisfaction.
- Goliath represents those who glory in their own strength and their own success but discover finally that it doesn’t save them.
- Our meaning is beyond ourselves.
- Humans listen to voices which seem to speak from….
- Until a person says “yes” to these voices he/she does not find life.
- For every person there comes a time when they must ask themselves in whose name they are living.
- Power is found through faith.
- No one does very much until they believe, and nothing becomes strong until it is under-girded by faith.
