Some believe the world is a 'neutral' place.

But they're wrong.

The world is filled with light and shadow; good and evil, angels and demons.

The world is not neutral. It is spiritually polarized.

And that's just what Jesus told His disciples in John 15.

John: The Myth Of Spiritual Neutrality

Goliath was a monster.

This man was a giant, a beast, and the Devil's own proxy.

But God had His own champion.

He sent a shepherd from Bethlehem to crush the monster's head.

Does that remind you of anybody else?

In today's study of 1 Samuel 17, we'll see the Gospel in OT clothing.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) In what ways was Goliath a proxy for the serpent?

B) What other types or shadows are in this chapter?

C) How do Gen. 3, Rev. 13, and 1 Samuel 17 connect?

Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt

We live in the 'already, but the not yet.'

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) Why does all of nature 'groan?' What is the cause?

B) How can we be sure of a brighter tomorrow?

C) How do we find strength to endure to the end?

Already But Not Yet

Is worship difficult for you?

For many people, it is. For many, it seems difficult or unnatural.

Now, why would 'worship' be difficult?

Well, we're not used to glorifying someone other than ourselves.

So, how do we fix this?

It begins with the study of God himself.

It begins with an appreciation of His character.

The more we understand God, the more natural worship becomes.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What sort of worship was taking place in 2 Chronicles 7?

B) What happened the moment the Temple was dedicated?

C) How can we grow in our love and commitment to worship?
