Notes i Sam. 17

I Samuel 1717 1)the valley of elah (oak) was a movie of recent vintage –see 2 Sam. 21:19 for Elhanan as the victor over Goliath. 1) One way to go this familiar story is to link Goliath to the powers and principalities. 2) When in your experience has the small won an unexpected victory. 3) What ways can we regard the 5 smooth stones, as resources at hand that we often pass by? 4) Goliath and David are both champions for their respective sides. who are such champions in our time, in a less martial context? see the movie Troy for champions. 5) Do you have a bit of Goliath and David within you? 6) Notice David runs toward Goliath. what does that tell us about facing fears or challenges sometimes? 7) I love that the armor does not fit. What does that tells us about appropriate gear? 8) some think that the God of hosts (that is a heavenly army) was a most ancient name. 9) What are the goliaths in society, in economics, and in your relationships?
