History is His-story

John Swadley | 1 Samuel 17:32-37

This week, Pastor John dives into the story of David and Goliath—not as a tale of human courage, but as a divine interruption where God shows up to rewrite history for His glory. While most of us see ourselves as David facing our giants, the truth is we often resemble the fearful Israelites—forgetting who our God is.

David didn’t defeat Goliath with size or skill, but with faith in a God who had already delivered him before. Pastor John challenges us to embrace “the principle of the paw”—that the same God who delivered us yesterday will empower us today and tomorrow. David’s victory reminds us: the battle is the Lord’s.
