David and Goliath

What does God actually see when He looks at you — your résumé, your reputation, your armor? Opening the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, Pastor Collin launches a new series on the life of David by focusing on a shepherd whose heart was fully surrendered to the living God. The battle isn't won by swords or spears but by that kind of heart-first faith, which set David apart from every soldier on the field. Just as David fought *as* Israel and not merely *for* them, Jesus Christ has fought and won our greatest battles in our place. Ask yourself this week: when God looks past every external, what does He find in your heart?
