The Accomplishments of David's Past: Part 3 by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

In PART THREE of this series on “The Accomplishments of David’s Past” we take a good look at “The Boldness David Showed.” He went out after the lion and the bear (vs.35). In this message, we begin by taking a good look at the phrase “went out.” The Hebrew word is rich in meaning and applications for us that are lost in the English translation of the word. David was a teenager of faith in God. His faith moved him forward into the fight. In this section, we examine eight principles about “Faith Without Works.” As we head toward the close of the message, we address this question, “From Where Did David Get His Boldness and Courage to Chase a Lion and Bear?” The first principle deals with courage from the strength of God. As we examine the strength of God, we focus on Psalm 18:32-24. * Psalm 18:32-34... It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. We take time to reveal the wonderful truths and treasures found in the word “girdeth” in verse 32. There are five important truths about God’s strength that we address. This message was preached on Wednesday night, April 15, 2026, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
