Summer Reading Series : week 5

Guest Speaker : Louie Giglio
Author of Goliath Must Fall

David + Goliath is the greatest underdog story. 

Giants that are in our valley's today.
Goliath must fall for our freedom sake!

Giant of comfort we won't get into.  
Giant of addiction, anger, rejection or the big one we'll focus on : fear.

"Cousins" of fear : worry, panic, stress, depression, doom, darkness, anxiety.

Fear is faith in the enemy.
Everything that can go wrong is going to go wrong.

When fear is in your story, the soundtrack of your story might sound like : negative assurances.

Fear must fall!
It's stealing the glory of our great God! 

If any giant in our life is going to fall, we've got to get the story right!

1. In this story you are NOT David.
Jesus came to take down every giant in our story!
Jesus is your giant slayer!!

2. Your giant is already dead.
Fear is a crime scene.
Your giant is dead, but it's still deadly!

How do we break free?
It has to do with what we see with our eyes + what you say with your mouth.

The antidote to fear isn't courage. 
The antidote to fear is faith!
The soundtrack to faith is worship.

David wrote in Psalm 16:8-11 "I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever." 

Life is a rollercoaster, but God is steady and sure. 
When God is solidly in your view, your emotions stabilizes.
When God is in view, my tongue rejoices. 

Worship + worry cannot be spoken at the same time.

Worship is a weapon that pierces the darkness.
Who gave the enemy power over the playlist? 

There has to be a replacement playlist!
