After slaying Goliath, David quickly rises to prominence in Israel. Everyone loves David. Everyone, that is, except Saul. Saul's jealousy results in multiple attempts to thwart God's perfect plan to remove Saul's line and replace him with someone better.

1 Samuel 17 reveals a contrast between David and Saul, and a contrast between David and Goliath. More importantly, it reveals many parallels between David and the Messiah King who would one day come and save God's people from their greatest enemies.

What does it mean to walk in a manner worthy of God? That is the question we explore in today's sermon.

This sermon looks at a couple of challenging questions that arise from this text. What is the timeline? What does it mean that there is an evil spirit that is from the Lord? Why does this matter?

Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. What does that mean? What does that imply about the Messianic King? How does that affect the way that we live?

Jesus calls the Laodicean Church to be zealous and repent.
