• Jesus is our King that went to battle for us. King Jesus not only went into battle for us, but he was victorious! Jesus came and died In our place. He took away the punishment for our sin. He is a true king that we can serve.

• Jesus was victorious over sin and death. God used David to defeat Goliath. Jesus defeated sin and death for us. He does once for all our sin. Through his death, we can be alive with God forever. Death is defeated for us.

• We can't do it on our own - only through Jesus/God's power. David threw a stone that hit Goliath but he knew that the power to sin the battle against Goliath was God's David knew that God was with him. David was a champion for the people when he fought Goliath. Jesus is an even better champion for us. Jesus went to the cross for all of us. Through his death and resurrection, we have a chance to be alive with God forever.

• God is the greatest! He can do anything! God sent Jesus to defeat sin and death. Goliath was very big. Goliath was known all around the countryside at that time, because he was so big. But God is Bigger! God is the greatest! God can do anything! God shows us that by sending his Son to be our rescuer. Nothing is bigger than God!
