The Battle Before the Battle

In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we look at 1 Samuel 17:1–18 and discover how Israel’s fear before Goliath points us to God’s greater plan of deliverance. We will see how David’s humble arrival at the battlefield prepares the way for the victory that only God can bring and how this foreshadows the ultimate Deliverer who would win the final battle on our behalf. In the second pour, we celebrate birthdays for Jinhyun Kim and Daniel in kindergarten, share today’s lunch of Chicken Alfredo, give a cheer for our Cross Country team running at O’Neal in Southern Pines, and remind you of Bible studies tonight at Berean Baptist Church.
