00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.179
 Good evening, church.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:17.920
 We're going to continue our series from 1 Samuel, and tonight we're going to study chapter 17.

00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:23.080
 It's a famous story.

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:27.679
 It's about David versus Goliath.

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:37.019
 And we all have Goliath standing and looking at us in our Christian walk.

00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:49.100
 So as we study this chapter tonight, we're going to meet our true champion, and we're going to turn to our true champion.

00:00:49.939 --> 00:00:50.820
 Let us pray.

00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:55.600
 Lord Jesus, thank you for gathering us here tonight.

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.920
 And Lord, please prepare our hearts to receive your message.

00:01:02.980 --> 00:01:13.200
 And Lord, I pray that only your deeds, your perfect track records, and your glory will shine tonight.

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:20.280
 And Lord, use your servant only as an instrument to deliver your message.

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.299
 In Jesus' name, amen.

00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:32.760
 1 Samuel chapter 17 can be found in your pew Bible, page 239.

00:01:33.820 --> 00:01:35.740
 That's page 239.

00:01:36.340 --> 00:01:41.640
 It's a long chapter, so we're not going to read the whole chapter tonight.

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:52.480
 We will look at certain parts of the chapter, and you're welcome to read this entire chapter on your own.

00:01:53.379 --> 00:01:57.939
 So Philistines gather their armies for battle once again.

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:04.879
 And one side, there's a Philistine army with this 10-foot giant named Goliath.

00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:13.780
 And the other side, there is King Saul and Israel army, and they're facing each other.

00:02:14.979 --> 00:02:28.379
 And Goliath is just taunting the Israel army, throwing insults and threats, and just physically intimidating them,

00:02:28.379 --> 00:02:34.019
 because he is the champion, and he is almost 10-foot tall.

00:02:34.419 --> 00:02:41.299
 Let's look at verses 8-11, and also verse 16.

00:02:46.180 --> 00:02:49.419
 Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel,

00:02:49.419 --> 00:02:53.539
 Why have you come out to draw up for battle?

00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:59.639
 Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul?

00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:06.399
 Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.959
 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants.

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:22.020
 But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.

00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:28.560
 And the Philistines said, I defy the ranks of Israel this day.

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:32.580
 Give me a man that we may fight together.

00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:43.580
 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:45.000
 Verse 16.

00:03:46.380 --> 00:03:54.880
 For 40 days, the Philistine came forward and took his stand, morning and evening.

00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:04.319
 So for 40 days and nights, this giant is taunting the Israel army.

00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:09.120
 And he's putting a lot of pressure on them, saying, choose one man.

00:04:10.659 --> 00:04:14.199
 And if you guys, he wins, we'll be your servants.

00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.339
 If I win, then you're going to be our servants.

00:04:18.339 --> 00:04:31.179
 And King Saul, we learned in previous weeks, the Bible says King Saul was a head taller than everybody else.

00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:35.479
 So let's just say King Saul was maybe close to seven foot tall.

00:04:35.899 --> 00:04:38.299
 But he's not stepping forward.

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:46.199
 Basically, everybody is just frozen, gripped by this paralyzing fear.

00:04:46.199 --> 00:05:02.240
 And this is, and the way he taunts them, when he says, you guys are but nothing, you guys are nothing but servants of Saul.

00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:08.879
 Which is not true because they are actually armies of living God.

00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:15.959
 And they have track record that goes back to Moses, Joshua, Gideon.

00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:27.459
 But Goliath is, for 40 days and 40 nights, he's keep telling them, you guys are nothing but servants of Saul.

00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:32.360
 He conceals Israel's true identity.

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:38.879
 And just keep gripping them and pushing them to look within themselves.

00:05:40.020 --> 00:05:40.960
 Look at yourself.

00:05:41.379 --> 00:05:42.340
 Who's going to fight me?

00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:46.580
 And he defied all ranks of Israel.

00:05:50.220 --> 00:05:57.199
 And paralyzing fear, it leads to unbelief.

00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.300
 And eventually you end up in despair.

00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:07.579
 In the times of Moses, when they were just about to enter the promised land,

00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:12.939
 they sent out 12 spies into the promised land to scope the land first.

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:22.819
 Only two spies came back and reported to the people saying that, yes, the Lord gave us this land.

00:06:23.580 --> 00:06:26.759
 We can conquer this land because the Lord is with us.

00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.160
 He's going to fight for us.

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:34.300
 But rest of the tent spies came back and they said, we're doomed.

00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:35.480
 We're good as dead.

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:38.680
 They said, they have fortified walls.

00:06:38.840 --> 00:06:40.100
 They have fortified cities.

00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:42.960
 And they are giants in this land.

00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:45.580
 And they came back.

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:51.460
 They cried all night in their tent saying they were doomed.

00:06:51.459 --> 00:07:01.560
 They were just gripped by this paralyzing fear when they saw the sights of the walls and the cities and the giants living in this land.

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:07.060
 This generation saw what God did.

00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:11.459
 They witnessed the 10 plagues God put on the Egyptians.

00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:17.800
 This generation actually walked through the parted Red Sea.

00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:23.180
 They saw the pillar of cloud by the day and pillar of fire by the night.

00:07:24.139 --> 00:07:33.960
 And yet, when they heard this report from these 10 spies, all of a sudden they just forgot God's perfect track record.

00:07:34.699 --> 00:07:37.780
 They went into despair and unbelief.

00:07:37.779 --> 00:07:42.599
 And the Bible says God became angry with that generation.

00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:46.779
 And nobody entered the promised land except Joshua and Caleb.

00:07:49.419 --> 00:07:54.459
 Now, David comes to the battlefield.

00:07:54.459 --> 00:08:01.219
 And he was delivering some food, some goodies for his brothers and brothers' captains.

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.919
 And as he comes to the battle, he also hears the same threats.

00:08:07.479 --> 00:08:10.419
 Goliath is making these insults and threats.

00:08:11.159 --> 00:08:17.319
 And as soon as King David hears, now he has different response.

00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.439
 He's not gripped by this paralyzing fear.

00:08:21.659 --> 00:08:23.539
 Let's turn to verse 26.

00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:28.719
 David says,

00:08:29.719 --> 00:08:39.519
 For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?

00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:44.759
 Not just any ordinary army.

00:08:45.500 --> 00:08:46.360
 King David says,

00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.679
 Who is defying the armies of the living God?

00:08:50.679 --> 00:09:03.039
 One of my favorite battle stories from the Old Testament is from Joshua chapter 10.

00:09:04.319 --> 00:09:07.739
 There was an Amorite king who forms a coalition.

00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:11.659
 He gets five other kings in the region.

00:09:11.659 --> 00:09:16.879
 And then they form a coalition to attack Israel together.

00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.199
 So the battle begins.

00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:27.639
 And Joshua and the armies of the living God, they are winning.

00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:31.220
 They are against all odds.

00:09:31.539 --> 00:09:37.100
 They were winning against this coalition of armies led by five kings.

00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:45.819
 But as the battle is going on, they needed more daylight to finish the battle.

00:09:45.820 --> 00:09:49.060
 So Joshua cries out to God.

00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.720
 And then God, the Bible says,

00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.280
 The sun stopped in the midst of heaven.

00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:02.620
 And eventually, the sun set so slowly,

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:10.140
 it gave Israelites another whole day worth of daylight.

00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:14.000
 And they come out victoriously.

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.519
 One night, I was praying to God.

00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:23.860
 And I was praising Him.

00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.939
 Imagining this particular battle scene.

00:10:28.940 --> 00:10:34.200
 I don't know how God...

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:40.440
 I mean, sun stood still basically means the earth kind of stopped rotating.

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:45.720
 And it slowed down to the point it almost stopped.

00:10:47.020 --> 00:10:53.060
 I don't know whether God just had to verbally command the earth to slow down and stop.

00:10:53.059 --> 00:10:59.379
 Or whether He put His invisible hand on top of the earth and making it to slow down.

00:11:00.459 --> 00:11:05.479
 I trembled in joy as I was praying.

00:11:05.739 --> 00:11:10.319
 Because this is awesome God.

00:11:10.459 --> 00:11:13.519
 Our God is mighty and awesome God.

00:11:14.219 --> 00:11:16.059
 Now, David...

00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:21.000
 I'm sure he heard all these stories of his ancestors.

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:27.399
 But to him, this was not just a folktale that he heard from his grandfather.

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:34.639
 All the battles that God fought for Israel during the times of Moses, Joshua, Gideon.

00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:43.360
 David's faith was deeply rooted in God's perfect track record.

00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:48.279
 So as soon as he heard these insults and threats from Goliath,

00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.559
 He's saying, who is this guy?

00:11:52.439 --> 00:11:56.459
 Who is this defying the armies of living God?

00:11:58.579 --> 00:12:05.120
 Let's look at David's testimony from verses 34 to 37.

00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:07.879
 So David goes up to King Saul and says,

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.039
 King Saul, let me fight this guy.

00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:15.259
 And this is what he tells King Saul.

00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.439
 Your servant used to keep sheep for his father.

00:12:23.699 --> 00:12:29.379
 And when there came a lion or a bear and took a lamb from the flock,

00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:34.980
 I went after him and struck him and delivered it out of his mouth.

00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:43.200
 And if he arose against me, I caught him by his beard and struck him and killed him.

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:48.060
 Your servant has struck down both lions and bears,

00:12:48.379 --> 00:12:53.960
 and this circumcised Philistine shall be like one of them.

00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.220
 For he has defied the armies of the living God.

00:12:58.220 --> 00:13:00.300
 And David said,

00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:07.720
 The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear

00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:12.320
 will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:23.560
 The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear

00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:26.639
 will deliver me from the hand of Goliath.

00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:36.340
 When the enemy is pushing for them to look within themselves,

00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:39.899
 David does not look within himself.

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:41.279
 He looks to the Lord.

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:42.899
 David says,

00:13:43.220 --> 00:13:47.919
 The Lord who rescued me from the paw of bear and lion.

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.340
 The Lord will also rescue me from this ten-foot giant.

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:57.019
 So,

00:13:57.420 --> 00:13:59.879
 when the enemy

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:03.860
 attacks us,

00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.820
 trying to conceal our true identity

00:14:07.820 --> 00:14:12.160
 and also create this paralyzing fear

00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:16.720
 so that we're going to despair and unbelief,

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.440
 David just does not look at himself.

00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:21.080
 I mean,

00:14:21.140 --> 00:14:22.220
 if you really look at David,

00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:23.480
 he's not even a soldier.

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.140
 He's a shepherd.

00:14:25.280 --> 00:14:26.280
 He's a local shepherd.

00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.220
 The Bible said he's a young boy.

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:29.620
 So,

00:14:30.260 --> 00:14:30.760
 I don't know,

00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:32.260
 maybe he's 15,

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:32.880
 16,

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:34.320
 19 at the most.

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.080
 And he is facing

00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.940
 this ten-foot professional warrior.

00:14:41.940 --> 00:14:43.040
 So,

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:44.500
 if David was looking at himself,

00:14:45.180 --> 00:14:46.060
 I can,

00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:47.660
 I can fight this guy.

00:14:48.900 --> 00:14:50.160
 But he

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:55.880
 knows God's track record.

00:14:57.160 --> 00:14:58.420
 And his faith

00:14:58.420 --> 00:14:59.880
 was deeply

00:14:59.880 --> 00:15:01.020
 rooted

00:15:01.020 --> 00:15:03.360
 in God's track record.

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:04.380
 Not his own.

00:15:04.540 --> 00:15:06.060
 Not his own strength.

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:07.780
 He didn't go up to

00:15:07.780 --> 00:15:08.980
 King Saul and say,

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:09.420
 Oh,

00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:09.720
 King,

00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:12.180
 I have this great secret weapon

00:15:12.180 --> 00:15:13.539
 that I can just get,

00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:13.820
 you know,

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.820
 put him down.

00:15:15.920 --> 00:15:16.500
 He didn't say,

00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:16.820
 you know,

00:15:16.940 --> 00:15:19.700
 I perfected this sling skill

00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:21.700
 with the right wind,

00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:22.759
 with the right velocity,

00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:24.100
 with the right size of stone.

00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:24.539
 I couldn't,

00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:24.759
 he,

00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:25.759
 he didn't do that.

00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.860
 It wasn't,

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.279
 it wasn't about him.

00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:29.779
 He said,

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:30.379
 the Lord

00:15:30.379 --> 00:15:32.460
 who rescued me

00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:34.200
 from the bear

00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.200
 and the lion's paw

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:37.560
 will deliver me

00:15:37.560 --> 00:15:39.160
 from the hand

00:15:39.160 --> 00:15:40.240
 of Philistine.

00:15:42.660 --> 00:15:44.020
 The other thing we

00:15:44.020 --> 00:15:45.600
 learn about

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.240
 David

00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:47.340
 is

00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:49.020
 that he

00:15:49.020 --> 00:15:50.540
 did not

00:15:50.540 --> 00:15:51.640
 abandon his sheep.

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:53.820
 He went

00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:54.820
 after the bear.

00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:55.200
 He went

00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:56.160
 after the lion.

00:15:57.280 --> 00:15:58.700
 He risked his life

00:15:58.700 --> 00:15:59.960
 to rescue

00:15:59.960 --> 00:16:00.600
 his sheep.

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.019
 I have a teenage son.

00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:04.840
 His name is also David.

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:06.259
 He's 14.

00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:08.159
 If my son

00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:08.860
 was a shepherd,

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:11.300
 I'll remind them

00:16:11.300 --> 00:16:12.480
 every morning,

00:16:13.060 --> 00:16:13.360
 son,

00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:15.000
 I love you so much.

00:16:16.180 --> 00:16:16.940
 If a bear

00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:17.840
 or lion,

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:18.820
 never mind bear

00:16:18.820 --> 00:16:19.340
 or lion,

00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:20.420
 a wolf

00:16:20.420 --> 00:16:22.000
 takes our sheep,

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.259
 just walk away.

00:16:24.180 --> 00:16:25.759
 Do not risk your life.

00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:26.800
 I love you too much.

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:27.899
 I don't even want you

00:16:27.899 --> 00:16:28.600
 to get a scratch

00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.200
 on your body.

00:16:29.680 --> 00:16:30.379
 It's okay.

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:31.700
 Just at the end

00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:32.159
 of the day,

00:16:32.300 --> 00:16:32.800
 tell me

00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:33.460
 how many

00:16:33.460 --> 00:16:34.320
 sheep we lost.

00:16:34.420 --> 00:16:35.279
 I can write that down

00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:36.220
 on our business

00:16:36.220 --> 00:16:37.000
 loss column

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:37.879
 in our tax return.

00:16:38.019 --> 00:16:38.620
 That's okay.

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.980
 Don't risk your life.

00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:42.940
 But David

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:44.840
 did not do that.

00:16:46.740 --> 00:16:47.220
 He

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:49.779
 didn't abandon

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:50.440
 his sheep.

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:51.820
 He went

00:16:51.820 --> 00:16:53.019
 after the bear,

00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:54.159
 after the lion,

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.639
 risking his life.

00:16:56.420 --> 00:16:56.980
 And he

00:16:56.980 --> 00:16:58.259
 rescued the sheep.

00:16:58.259 --> 00:17:00.740
 Now,

00:17:00.819 --> 00:17:01.639
 who does this

00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:03.819
 remind us of?

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.440
 Who else

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:07.559
 does not

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.059
 abandon us?

00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:11.740
 Just like we sang

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:13.059
 a couple of minutes ago,

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.240
 who always

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.099
 comes to our rescue?

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:18.240
 Who never

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.460
 leave us?

00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:20.700
 Who never

00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:22.619
 abandon us?

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:24.799
 And that

00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.279
 is our shepherd,

00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.479
 the true

00:17:30.479 --> 00:17:31.779
 humble

00:17:31.779 --> 00:17:32.919
 king

00:17:32.919 --> 00:17:34.859
 and our champion,

00:17:35.859 --> 00:17:36.099
 Jesus.

00:17:36.099 --> 00:17:36.299
 Jesus.

00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:46.339
 in Luke 15,

00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.200
 Jesus tells us

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:50.039
 a parable.

00:17:51.819 --> 00:17:52.779
 If a man,

00:17:52.940 --> 00:17:54.359
 if a man has

00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:54.799
 a hundred

00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.379
 sheep,

00:17:57.059 --> 00:17:57.879
 and if one

00:17:57.879 --> 00:17:58.720
 gets lost,

00:17:59.859 --> 00:18:00.460
 this man

00:18:00.460 --> 00:18:01.519
 will search

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:03.079
 and search

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:05.139
 until he

00:18:05.139 --> 00:18:05.720
 finds

00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:06.879
 the lost

00:18:06.879 --> 00:18:07.159
 sheep.

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:09.500
 And when

00:18:09.500 --> 00:18:10.079
 he finds

00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:10.720
 this lost

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:11.059
 sheep,

00:18:12.199 --> 00:18:12.859
 Jesus said,

00:18:13.439 --> 00:18:14.439
 he rejoices.

00:18:15.159 --> 00:18:16.059
 He calls

00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:16.799
 all his

00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.240
 friends

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:18.379
 and he

00:18:18.379 --> 00:18:18.759
 celebrates

00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:19.859
 because he

00:18:19.859 --> 00:18:20.240
 found

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:21.439
 the lost

00:18:21.439 --> 00:18:21.699
 sheep.

00:18:23.139 --> 00:18:24.179
 And that

00:18:24.179 --> 00:18:25.119
 picture

00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:25.859
 of the

00:18:25.859 --> 00:18:27.019
 man

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:28.419
 who is

00:18:28.419 --> 00:18:29.000
 searching,

00:18:29.419 --> 00:18:30.039
 not giving

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.359
 up,

00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:31.719
 until he

00:18:31.719 --> 00:18:32.279
 finds

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:33.419
 that lost

00:18:33.419 --> 00:18:33.740
 sheep.

00:18:34.639 --> 00:18:35.639
 That is

00:18:35.639 --> 00:18:36.919
 our shepherd,

00:18:37.579 --> 00:18:37.839
 Jesus.

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:41.159
 In John

00:18:41.159 --> 00:18:42.059
 chapter 10,

00:18:42.439 --> 00:18:43.079
 Jesus tells

00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:43.479
 us,

00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:45.359
 I

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.219
 am the

00:18:47.219 --> 00:18:47.539
 good

00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:48.199
 shepherd.

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:49.659
 The good

00:18:49.659 --> 00:18:50.119
 shepherd

00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.319
 lays down

00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:53.419
 his life

00:18:53.419 --> 00:18:55.159
 for the

00:18:55.159 --> 00:18:55.439
 sheep.

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:57.819
 And this

00:18:57.819 --> 00:18:59.000
 is exactly

00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.680
 what he

00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:01.119
 did for

00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:01.460
 us.

00:19:03.380 --> 00:19:03.799
 He

00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:05.140
 laid

00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:05.599
 down

00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:06.720
 his life

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:07.799
 humbly

00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:09.380
 for us

00:19:09.380 --> 00:19:10.720
 so we

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.180
 can have

00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:12.599
 life

00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:13.819
 in him.

00:19:15.099 --> 00:19:15.700
 I would

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:16.059
 like to

00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:17.319
 read from

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.019
 Philippians

00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:20.039
 chapter 2

00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:23.059
 verses

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:25.220
 5

00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:25.960
 through

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:26.380
 11.

00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:28.880
 and this

00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:30.680
 passage

00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:32.960
 shows us

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:34.820
 how

00:19:34.820 --> 00:19:35.280
 humble

00:19:35.280 --> 00:19:37.500
 Jesus

00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.060
 is.

00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:40.060
 Verse

00:19:40.060 --> 00:19:40.620
 5

00:19:40.620 --> 00:19:43.620
 Have

00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:43.940
 this

00:19:43.940 --> 00:19:44.540
 mind

00:19:44.540 --> 00:19:45.380
 among

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:46.060
 yourselves

00:19:46.060 --> 00:19:48.420
 which

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:49.160
 is yours

00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:49.940
 in

00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:50.340
 Christ

00:19:50.340 --> 00:19:50.880
 Jesus

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.020
 who

00:19:53.020 --> 00:19:53.460
 though

00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:54.200
 he was

00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:54.800
 in the

00:19:54.800 --> 00:19:55.300
 form of

00:19:55.300 --> 00:19:55.760
 God

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.160
 did not

00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:57.579
 count

00:19:57.579 --> 00:19:58.619
 equality

00:19:58.619 --> 00:19:59.359
 with God

00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.539
 a thing

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:00.920
 to be

00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:01.579
 grasped

00:20:01.579 --> 00:20:03.140
 but

00:20:03.140 --> 00:20:03.799
 empty

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:04.400
 himself

00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.039
 by taking

00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:06.799
 the form

00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.680
 of a

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:08.000
 servant.

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:10.839
 Being

00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:11.519
 born in

00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:12.099
 the likeness

00:20:12.099 --> 00:20:12.680
 of men

00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:14.579
 and being

00:20:14.579 --> 00:20:15.079
 found

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:16.460
 in human

00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:17.000
 form

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:18.680
 he humbled

00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:19.299
 himself

00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:21.379
 by becoming

00:20:21.379 --> 00:20:22.019
 obedient

00:20:22.019 --> 00:20:23.180
 to the

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:23.599
 point of

00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:23.940
 death.

00:20:23.940 --> 00:20:25.180
 death

00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:25.759
 even

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:26.220
 death

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:26.600
 on a

00:20:26.600 --> 00:20:27.080
 cross

00:20:27.080 --> 00:20:30.100
 therefore

00:20:30.100 --> 00:20:30.680
 God

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:31.120
 has

00:20:31.120 --> 00:20:31.759
 highly

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:32.240
 exalted

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.600
 him

00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:33.660
 and

00:20:33.660 --> 00:20:34.259
 bestowed

00:20:34.259 --> 00:20:34.759
 on him

00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:35.440
 the name

00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:36.000
 that is

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:36.420
 above

00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:37.080
 every

00:20:37.080 --> 00:20:37.480
 name.

00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:39.240
 So

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:40.500
 at the

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:41.840
 name of

00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:42.460
 Jesus

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:43.519
 every

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:43.940
 knee

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:44.259
 should

00:20:44.259 --> 00:20:44.720
 bow

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:45.660
 in

00:20:45.660 --> 00:20:46.019
 heaven

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:46.519
 and on

00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:46.940
 earth

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:48.400
 and under

00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:48.920
 the earth

00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:50.759
 and every

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:51.240
 tongue

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.720
 confess

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.480
 that Jesus

00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:55.060
 Christ

00:20:55.060 --> 00:20:56.400
 is Lord

00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:57.700
 to the

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:58.340
 glory of

00:20:58.340 --> 00:20:58.880
 God the

00:20:58.880 --> 00:20:59.240
 Father.

00:21:02.380 --> 00:21:03.060
 So

00:21:03.060 --> 00:21:03.460
 David

00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:07.120
 is

00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:09.420
 like a

00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:10.380
 sign

00:21:10.380 --> 00:21:11.740
 or

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:13.039
 a preview

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.440
 of what

00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:14.940
 to come.

00:21:17.879 --> 00:21:18.599
 David

00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:19.819
 is a

00:21:19.819 --> 00:21:20.079
 shepherd

00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:21.480
 who

00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:21.960
 became a

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:22.200
 king

00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:24.599
 and

00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:24.980
 Jesus

00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:27.059
 is our

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:27.539
 shepherd

00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:29.220
 and Jesus

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:30.039
 is our

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:30.440
 perfect

00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:30.779
 king.

00:21:31.899 --> 00:21:32.139
 So

00:21:32.139 --> 00:21:33.079
 when we

00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:33.720
 see David

00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:34.759
 we can

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.240
 see

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:36.180
 what

00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:36.579
 is

00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:38.180
 to

00:21:38.180 --> 00:21:38.619
 come

00:21:38.619 --> 00:21:40.779
 after

00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:41.200
 David.

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:43.700
 and this

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.019
 morning

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:44.559
 Pastor

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:44.940
 Nick

00:21:44.940 --> 00:21:47.220
 preached

00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:47.720
 about

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:48.759
 you know

00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:49.200
 God's

00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:49.580
 covenant

00:21:49.580 --> 00:21:50.840
 with

00:21:50.840 --> 00:21:51.259
 Abraham.

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:53.400
 God

00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.519
 blessed

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.000
 Abraham

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:57.400
 and he

00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:58.640
 made this

00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:59.380
 covenant

00:21:59.380 --> 00:21:59.900
 with him

00:21:59.900 --> 00:22:00.360
 saying

00:22:00.360 --> 00:22:01.420
 all

00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:02.200
 nations

00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:03.100
 will be

00:22:03.100 --> 00:22:03.500
 blessed

00:22:03.500 --> 00:22:04.400
 through

00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:04.740
 you.

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.160
 God's

00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:07.480
 covenant

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:08.180
 with Abraham

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:09.420
 is a

00:22:09.420 --> 00:22:10.180
 threefold

00:22:10.180 --> 00:22:10.740
 blessing.

00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.200
 God

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.980
 formed

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:14.539
 a

00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:14.920
 nation

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:15.240
 of

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:15.759
 Israel

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:17.279
 through

00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:17.799
 Abraham

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:18.620
 and

00:22:18.620 --> 00:22:18.980
 God

00:22:18.980 --> 00:22:19.759
 blessed

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:20.380
 Abraham

00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:21.220
 so his

00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:21.860
 descendants

00:22:21.860 --> 00:22:22.980
 will be

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:23.759
 as many

00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:24.160
 as

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.140
 stars

00:22:25.140 --> 00:22:25.680
 in the

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:25.980
 sky.

00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:27.279
 And

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:27.460
 the

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:27.759
 third

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.200
 blessing

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:29.019
 is the

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:29.460
 spiritual

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:29.920
 blessing

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:30.559
 that

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:31.120
 all

00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:31.819
 nations

00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:32.940
 will be

00:22:32.940 --> 00:22:33.400
 blessed

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:34.460
 through

00:22:34.460 --> 00:22:34.779
 you.

00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:38.120
 Since

00:22:38.120 --> 00:22:38.680
 Abraham

00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:39.440
 14

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:40.000
 generations

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:40.539
 later

00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:41.799
 King

00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:42.079
 David

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.579
 comes

00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:43.680
 just

00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:43.960
 like

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:44.180
 God

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:44.599
 promised

00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:45.160
 Abraham

00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:47.180
 28

00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:48.059
 generations

00:22:48.059 --> 00:22:48.640
 later

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:49.019
 from

00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:49.299
 King

00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:49.740
 David

00:22:49.740 --> 00:22:52.059
 then our

00:22:52.059 --> 00:22:52.420
 true

00:22:52.420 --> 00:22:52.779
 king

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:54.220
 Jesus

00:22:54.220 --> 00:22:54.720
 comes

00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.220
 and

00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:56.480
 this

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.259
 is all

00:22:57.259 --> 00:22:57.819
 according

00:22:57.819 --> 00:22:58.200
 to

00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:59.620
 God's

00:22:59.620 --> 00:23:00.500
 promise.

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:01.880
 We read

00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:02.360
 today

00:23:02.360 --> 00:23:02.940
 in the

00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:03.259
 morning

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:05.500
 Isaiah

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:06.360
 chapter

00:23:06.360 --> 00:23:07.039
 55

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.980
 and

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:10.799
 there

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:11.799
 it says

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:13.160
 God's

00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:13.740
 words

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:14.900
 do not

00:23:14.900 --> 00:23:15.539
 return to

00:23:15.539 --> 00:23:15.799
 him

00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:17.160
 empty.

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:20.240
 it

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:21.220
 accomplishes

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:22.860
 what

00:23:22.860 --> 00:23:23.000
 he

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.440
 purposes

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:24.000
 and

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:24.380
 that's

00:23:24.380 --> 00:23:25.040
 exactly

00:23:25.040 --> 00:23:26.220
 what's

00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:26.640
 happening

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:27.740
 in

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.360
 1 Samuel

00:23:28.360 --> 00:23:28.860
 17.

00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:30.060
 You're

00:23:30.060 --> 00:23:30.400
 seeing

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:30.900
 God's

00:23:30.900 --> 00:23:31.440
 promise

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:32.380
 to

00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:32.779
 Abraham

00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:33.940
 being

00:23:33.940 --> 00:23:34.440
 fulfilled.

00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:36.040
 King

00:23:36.040 --> 00:23:36.320
 David

00:23:36.320 --> 00:23:36.759
 comes

00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:38.200
 and

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:38.360
 then

00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:38.880
 28

00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.040
 generations

00:23:41.040 --> 00:23:41.500
 later

00:23:41.500 --> 00:23:43.200
 our

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:43.500
 true

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:44.019
 champion

00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:45.519
 Jesus

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:46.039
 comes.

00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:48.420
 Now

00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:50.420
 Jesus'

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:51.039
 battle

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:52.660
 was not

00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:53.559
 facing

00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:54.240
 a

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.059
 ten-foot

00:23:55.059 --> 00:23:55.559
 giant.

00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:57.519
 Jesus'

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:58.019
 battle

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:58.660
 was not

00:23:58.660 --> 00:23:59.000
 about

00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.200
 flesh and

00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:00.500
 blood.

00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:01.759
 Jesus'

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:02.200
 battle

00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:02.819
 was not

00:24:02.819 --> 00:24:04.160
 a nation

00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:05.359
 against

00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:05.839
 a nation.

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:07.859
 Jesus

00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:09.099
 conquered

00:24:09.099 --> 00:24:10.039
 death.

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.240
 Jesus

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:11.859
 defeated

00:24:11.859 --> 00:24:12.920
 the

00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:14.000
 power of

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.259
 sin.

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:16.599
 And

00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:16.920
 so

00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:19.160
 conquering

00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:19.619
 death

00:24:19.619 --> 00:24:21.700
 he

00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:22.180
 became

00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:23.660
 the

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:23.960
 true

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.460
 champion.

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:28.759
 Just

00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:29.079
 like

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.259
 just like

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:31.819
 fear

00:24:31.819 --> 00:24:33.039
 is

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:33.500
 real

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:35.579
 the

00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:35.940
 enemy

00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:37.279
 the

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:37.619
 devil

00:24:37.619 --> 00:24:38.519
 is

00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:38.839
 also

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:39.220
 real.

00:24:40.859 --> 00:24:41.579
 Apostle

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:42.079
 Peter

00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:43.359
 warned

00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:43.799
 us

00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:45.119
 how

00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:45.339
 the

00:24:45.339 --> 00:24:45.699
 devil

00:24:45.699 --> 00:24:47.679
 prowls

00:24:47.679 --> 00:24:48.319
 around

00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:48.899
 like a

00:24:48.899 --> 00:24:49.199
 roaring

00:24:49.199 --> 00:24:49.699
 lion

00:24:49.699 --> 00:24:50.939
 seeking

00:24:50.939 --> 00:24:52.179
 someone

00:24:52.179 --> 00:24:52.379
 to

00:24:52.379 --> 00:24:52.839
 devour.

00:24:57.839 --> 00:24:58.399
 Is

00:24:58.399 --> 00:24:59.899
 the

00:24:59.899 --> 00:25:00.459
 enemy

00:25:00.459 --> 00:25:03.419
 taunting

00:25:03.419 --> 00:25:03.799
 you

00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:05.259
 like

00:25:05.259 --> 00:25:05.439
 the

00:25:05.439 --> 00:25:06.000
 Goliath

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.179
 taunted

00:25:08.179 --> 00:25:09.479
 the

00:25:09.479 --> 00:25:09.799
 Israel

00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:10.240
 army?

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:13.720
 is the

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.140
 enemy

00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:14.620
 using

00:25:14.620 --> 00:25:14.859
 the

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:15.180
 same

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:15.799
 tactic

00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.259
 trying

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:18.799
 to make

00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:19.000
 you

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:19.620
 forget

00:25:19.620 --> 00:25:21.079
 that you

00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:21.440
 are

00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:22.099
 a child

00:25:22.099 --> 00:25:22.380
 you're

00:25:22.380 --> 00:25:22.839
 children

00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:23.500
 of God

00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:24.660
 instead

00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:25.359
 the

00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:25.620
 enemy

00:25:25.620 --> 00:25:26.299
 pushes

00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:26.660
 you

00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:27.960
 to

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.900
 look

00:25:28.900 --> 00:25:29.180
 within

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:29.660
 yourself

00:25:29.660 --> 00:25:31.740
 and

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:32.039
 when we

00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:32.259
 look

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:32.539
 within

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:33.059
 ourselves

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:34.900
 there

00:25:34.900 --> 00:25:35.180
 is

00:25:35.180 --> 00:25:36.480
 greed

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:37.599
 pride

00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:39.000
 depression

00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:40.379
 habitual

00:25:40.379 --> 00:25:40.980
 sins

00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:41.959
 secret

00:25:41.959 --> 00:25:42.480
 sins

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:44.079
 people

00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:44.419
 that

00:25:44.419 --> 00:25:45.059
 we

00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:45.259
 just

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:45.599
 cannot

00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:46.500
 forgive

00:25:46.500 --> 00:25:48.279
 wounds

00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:48.519
 from

00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:48.699
 the

00:25:48.699 --> 00:25:49.139
 past

00:25:49.139 --> 00:25:50.419
 but

00:25:50.419 --> 00:25:50.619
 this

00:25:50.619 --> 00:25:50.740
 is

00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:50.899
 what

00:25:50.899 --> 00:25:51.159
 enemy

00:25:51.159 --> 00:25:51.639
 does

00:25:51.639 --> 00:25:52.579
 enemy

00:25:52.579 --> 00:25:52.879
 does

00:25:52.879 --> 00:25:53.279
 not

00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:53.799
 want

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.000
 us

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:54.159
 to

00:25:54.159 --> 00:25:54.519
 fix

00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:54.879
 our

00:25:54.879 --> 00:25:55.399
 eyes

00:25:55.399 --> 00:25:55.899
 on

00:25:55.899 --> 00:25:56.039
 the

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:56.240
 true

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:56.699
 champion

00:25:56.699 --> 00:25:58.000
 enemy

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.399
 says

00:25:58.399 --> 00:25:58.759
 no

00:25:58.759 --> 00:25:59.659
 keep

00:25:59.659 --> 00:25:59.899
 look

00:25:59.899 --> 00:26:00.439
 within

00:26:00.439 --> 00:26:01.000
 yourself

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:05.519
 we

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:08.619
 we

00:26:08.619 --> 00:26:08.819
 need

00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:09.000
 to

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:09.299
 fix

00:26:09.299 --> 00:26:09.640
 our

00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:10.039
 eyes

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:10.259
 on

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:10.599
 Jesus

00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:11.680
 because

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:12.740
 he

00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:13.319
 conquered

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:14.640
 the

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.059
 death

00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:16.819
 once

00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:17.160
 and for

00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:17.460
 all

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:18.779
 and

00:26:18.779 --> 00:26:19.079
 that's

00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:19.240
 not

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:19.619
 something

00:26:19.619 --> 00:26:20.759
 we

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.019
 can

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:21.259
 do

00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:21.619
 that's

00:26:21.619 --> 00:26:21.859
 something

00:26:21.859 --> 00:26:22.099
 only

00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:22.579
 Jesus

00:26:22.579 --> 00:26:25.059
 can

00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:25.299
 do

00:26:25.299 --> 00:26:26.059
 and he

00:26:26.059 --> 00:26:26.339
 did

00:26:26.339 --> 00:26:27.319
 but

00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:28.539
 in our

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:29.039
 Christian

00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:29.480
 walk

00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:30.400
 we

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:30.599
 will

00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:31.240
 constantly

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:32.539
 see

00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:32.960
 these

00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:33.559
 giants

00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:35.279
 because

00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:35.380
 the

00:26:35.380 --> 00:26:35.640
 enemy

00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:36.599
 will

00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:37.500
 constantly

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:38.559
 taunt

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:38.920
 us

00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:42.019
 so

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:42.279
 how

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:42.380
 do

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:42.660
 we

00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:44.220
 how

00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:44.339
 do

00:26:44.339 --> 00:26:44.480
 we

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:44.839
 fix

00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:45.660
 our

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:46.120
 eyes

00:26:46.120 --> 00:26:46.339
 on

00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:46.720
 Jesus

00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:50.500
 there

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:50.740
 was

00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:50.920
 a

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:51.400
 battle

00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:53.980
 between

00:26:53.980 --> 00:26:54.880
 Amalekites

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:55.860
 and

00:26:55.860 --> 00:26:56.140
 the

00:26:56.140 --> 00:26:57.220
 Israelites

00:26:57.220 --> 00:26:58.420
 this

00:26:58.420 --> 00:26:58.660
 is

00:26:58.660 --> 00:26:59.059
 in

00:26:59.059 --> 00:26:59.740
 Exodus

00:26:59.740 --> 00:27:00.159
 chapter

00:27:00.159 --> 00:27:00.720
 17

00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:02.839
 so

00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:03.679
 when

00:27:03.679 --> 00:27:04.419
 Amalekites

00:27:04.419 --> 00:27:05.000
 attacked

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:05.879
 Israel

00:27:05.879 --> 00:27:08.000
 Joshua

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:09.000
 led

00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:09.159
 the

00:27:09.159 --> 00:27:09.579
 armies

00:27:09.579 --> 00:27:10.639
 of

00:27:10.639 --> 00:27:10.919
 living

00:27:10.919 --> 00:27:11.319
 God

00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:13.819
 and

00:27:13.819 --> 00:27:14.279
 Moses

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:15.740
 stood

00:27:15.740 --> 00:27:17.119
 at the

00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:17.440
 top of

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:17.759
 the hill

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:18.419
 with his

00:27:18.419 --> 00:27:19.000
 hands

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:19.299
 up

00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:20.559
 and

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:20.759
 when

00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:21.200
 Moses

00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.679
 kept

00:27:22.679 --> 00:27:22.879
 his

00:27:22.879 --> 00:27:23.119
 hands

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:23.399
 up

00:27:23.399 --> 00:27:24.779
 the

00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:25.359
 Israel

00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:26.139
 army

00:27:26.139 --> 00:27:27.019
 they were

00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:27.279
 winning

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:28.680
 but

00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:29.200
 eventually

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:30.440
 fatigue

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:30.759
 sets

00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:31.059
 in

00:27:31.059 --> 00:27:31.339
 so

00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:31.759
 Moses

00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:32.160
 put

00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:32.339
 his

00:27:32.339 --> 00:27:32.740
 arms

00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:33.240
 down

00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:34.680
 and

00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:34.819
 then

00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:35.019
 the

00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:35.399
 direction

00:27:35.399 --> 00:27:35.599
 of

00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:35.740
 the

00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:36.099
 battle

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:37.359
 changes

00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:38.299
 and

00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:38.559
 now

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:38.799
 the

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:40.539
 Israel

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:41.160
 is

00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:41.619
 losing

00:27:41.619 --> 00:27:43.299
 so

00:27:43.299 --> 00:27:43.859
 Aaron

00:27:43.859 --> 00:27:44.279
 and

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:44.839
 her

00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:46.000
 brings

00:27:46.639 --> 00:27:47.500
 for

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:47.919
 Moses

00:27:47.919 --> 00:27:48.299
 to

00:27:48.299 --> 00:27:48.619
 sit

00:27:48.619 --> 00:27:48.939
 on

00:27:48.939 --> 00:27:50.419
 Aaron

00:27:50.419 --> 00:27:50.639
 on

00:27:50.639 --> 00:27:50.879
 one

00:27:50.879 --> 00:27:51.319
