Defy The Giants - Your Assignment Is Not Your Identity

Oct 6, 2024    Pastor Ezra Stanton

In this powerful message, we dive deep into the story of David from 1 Samuel 17:12-30, but this time, we look beyond just the battle with Goliath. What can we learn from David's journey, going back and forth between caring for sheep and delivering food to his brothers? It’s all about God’s perfect timing. David shows up just as the army is filled with battle cries, but moments later, they are filled with fear. What changed? They encountered the giant. Yet David wasn’t shaken—he knew the greatness of his God.


This message isn’t just for those in ancient battles. It's about where we find ourselves today. Do we live in "what could be" with faith, or "what could not be" filled with doubt? Feeling late in life? Waiting on God’s answer? Just as David was right on time, so are you, with God.


We also explore how David’s actions—setting out early and taking on his responsibilities—show us that with God, your assignment is not your identity. Whether you feel stuck in a job that doesn't match your calling, or just waiting for your next step, God is with you, guiding every moment. You are more than what you do; you are a child of God, right where He needs you to be.


Catch this message from Mission Church and be reminded that God’s timing is always flawless, and your identity is found in Him.
