I finished up my series, "Becoming a Champion for God," this past Wednesday night. I spent 3 weeks walking through David's encounter with Goliath. It was very effective in students lives. To conclude the series I preached on David killing Goliath and talked about how it's time to kill the Giants in your life. So many times we sincerely want to defeat a Giant in our life, yet we do like the Israelite Army and march out to the battle lines, the Giant comes out again and we give into in and live in sin. Why not just kill the Giant? I ended the message by handing each student a small stone and asked them to kill their Giant with this stone. The Spirit of God moved in and we had 4 students accept Christ and many others defeat Giants in their lives.
The stories I've heard from students since Wednesday night are simply amazing. We were at one of the local High Schools on Thursday and several students walked up to me, pulled their small stone out of their pocket and said, "I'm killing my Giant."
I heard stories of students going home and talking with their parents about Giants in their lives that they were ready to kill. Other students left things at the alter, some handed them into our adult leaders. It one of those nights that students allowed God to move in their lives. God is able to help us defeat & kill the Giants in our lives.
