True humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less — and it is proven by whether you trust God. Both arrogant pride (I know better than God) and insecure pride (I can't do what God asks because I'm not qualified) are forms of self-centeredness that lead to disobedience. The story of David and Goliath shows that God does not ask us to be qualified; He asks us to be obedient, to take what He has given us, and to get into the fight He has called us to — trusting that where He guides, He will provide.

Using the story of David and Goliath as a foreshadowing of Jesus's victory over sin and death, Pastor Bill argues that financial generosity is an act of worship rooted in trust. Just as David ran at Goliath with nothing but a sling and faith in God, believers are called to honor God with their resources — not because He needs the money, but because giving battles selfishness, builds families, draws us closer to Jesus, and invites us into the victory God is accomplishing through His church.
