How to Responded When Treated Like a Dog: 1 Samuel 17:43 by Dr. Rod Mattoon

Scripture

• 1 Samuel 17:43

About this sermon

Have you ever been treated like a dog? If so, how did you respond? How should we respond as Christians if this happens? We get into the answers in this message. We take a look at the last day of Goliath’s life and the mistakes that he made. There are lessons we can learn from what he did wrong. When he saw David on the battlefield, he became very upset. He shouted, “Am I a dog?” Why did he say this? We dive into the answer. We also take some time answering the reason why the Lord may allow dog treatment in our lives. There is a purpose for those humiliating times. How are we to respond when we are treated like scum or garbage? We look at the life of the Lord Jesus and examine how He responded. We also take a look at humility and how it is tested, and how to discern if it is genuine or real in us. This practical message was preached on Wednesday night, August 12, 2026, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
