A week earlier the speaker had stepped down from the pulpit certain he would never preach again, and a day before this service the phone rang with a request to preach. That confession opens a return to the valley of Elah, which was meant to be a valley of faith and became a valley of fear, as an entire army waited forty days for someone else to raise a hand (1 Samuel 17). The sermon speaks of the giants that repeat morning and evening that you will never make it, and of the armour David refused to wear. Listen if you are facing someone bigger than you today.
