David - A Character Study

Nov 12, 2018

In this episode, Scott discusses the famous story of David and Goliath.

1. David showed patience towards Saul because he trusted in God’s anointing and timing for him. In what area of your life do you need to trust God and His timing? How could patience change your current situation?
2. “Faith pushes us through our fears.” Talk about a fear or anxiety you have faced lately. What is faith calling you to do in response?
   
3. Goliath focused on the physical, David focused on God. In what area of your life do you need to look to Jesus instead of your own abilities?
   
4. David shows us that God can use whoever he wants, however he wants, whenever he wants. And God is greater than any giant we could face. What giant are you currently up against? How can you trust God’s ability in light of that?
   
5. Read 1 Samuel 17:48-54. Goliath was ultimately defeated with his own weapon which was a foreshadow of how Satan would one day be defeated by what he thought was his own weapon, the cross. The cross secures our victory over our enemy. What lies, doubts, or other insecurities is the enemy feeding you? How does the cross speak truth over and above them?
   
6. We need to trust God and do the next right thing. What is the next right thing Jesus is calling you to in your marriage, with your kids, or in your home?
