WARM UP
When did you do something even though you were really scared to do it? Describe. 

READ
I Samuel 17; Hebrews 12:1-2

TAKEAWAYS
The story of David and Goliath is about:
1. No courage
2. False courage
3. True courage

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
1. What role do you think fear plays in the daily decisions of the people around you? How do you know?

2. What kinds of “false courage” have you typically used in the past (self-esteem, physicality, finances)?

APPLICATION
How does not seeing ourselves as David change this story for you? 

FOR MENTORING
Fear of anything other than God is because of lies we believe. What is the lie you are believing right now that attributes most to your fear?
