David and Goliath

Pastor Bill shows that what feels like humility is often really pride wearing a disguise — either arrogance that trusts your own strength, or an insecure, anxious pride that hides behind "I'm not qualified." Using Saul and David, he shows that real humility is courageous trust in God, taking who you are and what you have into the fight He's called you to.

Giving isn't a demand God squeezes out of us — it's a gift He made us for, like a father inviting a scared kid down a water slide because he knows the joy on the other side. When we let go and trust God with our money, He catches us at the bottom, and what looked like drowning turns into closeness with Him and victory in areas we never expected.
