Have you ever bought something from an unknown seller to save a few dollars only to find out later that it would have been better to spend the extra money to deal with someone who could be trusted?  Trust and value are connected.  The more you trust, the more willing you are to pay the price.

Have you ever looked at what someone else paid for something and said, "That's not worth that kind of money!"?  How about being mid-way through a frustrating job and thought, "Is it worth all of this stress?"  Likewise, we observe the difficult life of Paul the Apostle and wonder why he would be willing to face imprisonment, torture, and possible death time after time in so many places?  Paul believed that Jesus is worth it!

When you have the courage to defeat your Giant, you also inspire others to do the same.  Young David's triumph over Goliath and the Philistine army, teach us a valuable lesson about the contagious nature of courage.

We all love a powerful speech from a great leader.  Young David gave perhaps the greatest speech of them all while standing toe to toe with Goliath, and through his words we learn how to face down the giants in our life.

Have you ever faced a challenge that makes you think: "There's no way. I can't do this. I don't have a chance"? This week, we continue "Giant" with an encouraging message that will restore your hope!
