The Giant of Fear - 1 Samuel 17 - Skip Heitzig

One of the most paralyzing of all human emotions is fear. It can rob us of reason and faith. It makes a bad situation worse than it really is, and it saps us of energy and confidence. David would write later on, “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4). But in our story today he faced a fearsome giant (literally) that his country was in dread of. Let’s consider how fear works and by what means it can be defeated. This teaching is from the series Hunting Giants with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church. 00:00 Introduction 07:12 Fear Is Intimidating 18:53 Fear Can Be Debilitating 25:23 Fear Breeds Squabbling 29:24 Fear Requires Conquering
