David versus Goliath

Our Speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Steve Modrzejewski.

He continued his series on the life of David. His message was based on a fearful time -- war against the Philistines ---with mighty Goliath leading the way:
And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.  And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.  And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.  And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron:  and one bearing a shield went before him.  And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array?  am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul?  choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.  If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants:  but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.  And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.  When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid (1 Samuel 17).
The circumstances against Israel were overwhelming.  This giant was 9 feet 9 inches tall !!  However, David, a young servant of the Lord, was excited, and supremely confident in the Lord and the weapons He provides against His enemies. 

The full, excellent message, in context, is available on DVD.
