Description
What battle are you avoiding today that future you will wish you had fought? In this message from Is That in the Bible?: House of David, Pastor Levi Lusko takes us to the Valley of Elah, where David faced Goliath, and uncovers a powerful truth hidden in the classic story. This message will challenge you to stop living spiritually hand-to-mouth and start building a life that prepares you for the future God is calling you into. You will be encouraged to take the next step of faith and trust that God is already preparing what you'll need down the road.

– understand how today's decisions shape tomorrow's opportunities
– learn how to fight spiritual battles before they become crises
