The Deliverance of God: Part Two by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

1 Samuel 17:37 -David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. In PART TWO on The Deliverance of God, we look at David’s dependence on the Lord to help him defeat Goliath. He presented his case why he should battle the giant and assured the king he would defeat him. He told the king emphatically, “The Lord will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” David tapped into the memories of God’s deliverance in his past. That is what we are to do, too. His trials were building blocks of faith just like yours. We address the faithfulness of God of your past and show how it affects you in the present. David was God-confident and we are to be that way, too. Suffering and trials have a way of revealing deep blessings that go down to the roots of our souls. What we don’t see in times of “ease” we see in times of trials. Trials are God’s chisel to sculp the soul. In the message we take time to answer the questions, “Why does allow trials in our lives and what are their purpose?” We cover seven purposes in the message. If you are facing suffering or trials now, I believe this message will be an encouragement to you. This message was preached on Sunday morning, Mother’s Day, May 10, 2026, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
