About this sermon
1 Samuel 17:40- “he drew near to the Philistine.” David has armed himself for battle with Goliath and he now draws near to the giant. His faith closed the distance between himself and Goliath. In this message, “Faith Closes the Distance,” we first of all take a look at the meaning and lessons behind the phrase “drew near.” Next, we spend time preaching about the matter of faith vs. fear. What is faith and what does it do? Some people struggle to step out by faith. Why? We look at three key reasons that answer this question. This message was preached on Wednesday night, July 22, 2026, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
