In Podcast Episode 117, “More Than Conquerors: Introduction,” Kim kicks her newest multi-episode series inspired by the attitude and actions of young David in his encounter with the giant Goliath. For the next few weeks, Kim will discuss the importance of focusing more on the Lord of Heaven’s Armies than any of the giants we face. In this introductory episode, she will introduce the two theme verses for this study: 1 Samuel 17:45 and Romans 8:37 from the NIV. 



 



The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 17:1-58 with the key verse 45:



 



45 David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 



 



No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Romans 8:37 NIV)





Weekly Assignment Feature: 



Read daily and memorize Romans 8:37.

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:



“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”



37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:31-38 NIV)





I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
