The Acceptance of David to Battle Goliath: Part 3 by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

1 Samuel 17:32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. This is PART THREE on the series about being an available servant. David refers to himself as a servant to King Saul. In this message, we take a look at the Hebrew word for “servant” used in 1 Samuel 17:32 and the lessons the word teaches us. The word “servant” reveals several character traits about David and we look at them. The greatest servant of all was the Lord Jesus Christ. We look at the day He walked by and stopped a funeral procession, raising the widow’s son from death. Their lives were never the same and it has never been the same for me since August 19, 1971, when I opened my heart to Him and He walked in. Praise His dear name! This message was preached on Sunday morning, March 22, 2026, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
