Worship Playlist: See A Victory

Crosspointchurchtx   -   June 16, 2025

Objective: To explore how faith in God empowers us to face the giants in our lives with courage and responsibility.

Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:32-50

Opening Prayer: Begin with a prayer asking God to open your hearts and minds to His Word, to give you understanding and courage to apply His truths in your life.

 

Introduction:

  • Briefly summarize the story of David and Goliath, highlighting the key points from the sermon: the fear of the Israelites, David’s courage, and his faith in God.
  • Discuss the concept of “giants” in our lives—challenges, fears, or obstacles that seem insurmountable.

 

Discussion Questions:

  1. Identifying Giants:
  • What are some “giants” you face in your personal life, community, or society?
  • How do these giants affect your faith and daily living?
  1. Courage Rooted in Faith:
  • Read 1 Samuel 17:32-37. How did David’s past experiences with God give him confidence to face Goliath?
  • Share a personal experience where your faith in God gave you courage in a difficult situation.
  1. Using Your Unique Gifts:
  • Read 1 Samuel 17:38-40. Why did David choose not to wear Saul’s armor? What does this teach us about authenticity and using our unique gifts?
  • Discuss how God has uniquely equipped you to face challenges. How can you use these gifts for His glory?
  1. The Battle Belongs to the Lord:
  • Read 1 Samuel 17:45-47. What does it mean to say, “The battle belongs to the Lord”?
  • How can we practically surrender our battles to God and trust in His power?
  1. Leaving a Legacy of Faith:
  • How did David’s victory inspire the Israelite army? How can our faith and actions inspire others?
  •  What steps can you take to leave a legacy of faith for your family and community?

 

Activity:

  • Personal Reflection: Take a few minutes to write down a giant you are currently facing. Reflect on how you can apply the lessons from David’s story to this situation.
  • Group Sharing: If comfortable, share your reflections with the group. Offer encouragement and pray for one another.

 

Closing Prayer:

Conclude with a prayer, asking God to strengthen your faith, give you courage, and help you use your unique gifts to face the giants in your life. Pray for the group to be inspired to leave a legacy of faith.
