David the Champion - Kabwijamu Akiki

Even though he was just a young shepherd and musician with no training in the use of weapons or fighting, David was confident that he would be able to defeat the giant Goliath. His confidence to face the giant did not come from his own strength or skill. He believes that the greatest weapon he has is to fight in the name of the Lord.Even though the scriptures tell us that David was a man after God’s own heart, we also find that he made some significant mistakes along the way.  However, when confronted with his sin, he always turned back to God and has become an example of true repentance and faithfulness for us.  In this sermon series we will be doing a character study of David and apply insights from his life to our own walk of faith. Scripture: 1 Samuel 17, John 14:12-14
