St. Peter’s Lutheran | A Big Summer Sermon Series | May 31, 2026 | Pastor Tim Carter | David and Goliath is the ultimate underdog story. Israel saw an unbeatable giant, but David saw a God who keeps His promises. The story reminds us that God fights for His people, and victory comes not by our might but by God’s.

In this moment, the Holy Spirit creates a new community centered on Jesus and empowers ordinary people to share God’s mighty works. The Church begins when God gathers people who otherwise would never belong together.
