Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook / Jan 18, 2026

Text: 1 Samuel 17

Introduction

Every believer faces a battle.
Most of us have a “Goliath”:
- Fear, addiction, lust, failure, depression.
Giants do not simply disappear — they must be faced

I. The Advantage of the Giant

The battle took place in the Valley of Elah

(1 Samuel 17:1).
Goliath’s physical advantage:
- His size and armor inspired fear
  
  (1 Samuel 17:4–7).
Goliath issued a daily challenge

(1 Samuel 17:8–9, 16).
Israel’s response:
- Fear and paralysis
  
  (1 Samuel 17:11).

Truth:

Giants often come day and night and will not go away on their own.

II. The Attitude Toward the Giant

David saw the same giant — but with a different perspective

(1 Samuel 17:25–26).
Israel focused on Goliath’s size.
David focused on God’s covenant and God’s name.
Goliath was uncircumcised — outside God’s covenant

(1 Samuel 17:26).

Key Contrast:

Israel saw Goliath.
David saw God.
Courage grows when God becomes bigger than the giant.
Even faithful obedience can be met with opposition

(1 Samuel 17:28).

III. The Action Toward the Giant

David refused to fight with Saul’s armor

(1 Samuel 17:32–33, 38–39).
God’s battles cannot be won with someone else’s armor.
David acted in faith using what God had already given him.

A. David Acted on What He

God had delivered David before

(1 Samuel 17:34–35).
Past victories built present faith.

Principle:

Remember victories, not defeats.

B. David Acted on What He

David approached Goliath with confidence in God’s name

(1 Samuel 17:40, 42–43).
David declared victory in the name of the Lord

(1 Samuel 17:45–47).
“The Lord of hosts” = Jehovah-Tsaba, the Lord our .

Perspective Shift:

To Saul: Goliath was too big to hit.
To David: Goliath was too big to miss.

The Victory

David ran toward the giant by faith

(1 Samuel 17:49–50).
God used what David placed in His hands.
Israel’s fear turned into victory.

Conclusion

David asked the defining question:

“Is there not a cause?”

(1 Samuel 17:29).
God calls His people off the mountainside and into the valley.
Giants are defeated in the name of Jehovah-Tsaba.
