We are going to. That's true. Amen. You're ready to go. All right. Thank you. Okay. He says that we're about dinner for those who have heard me preach before, and some of them are concerned, maybe. And then it's amazing, you know, coming over here from Mississippi, down in some low country, and I just admire your hills and mountains. We have what we call some heels, but you wouldn't call them a heel. You know, you'd call them maybe a bump or something, like these speed bumps. But anyway, coming over here somewhere, the time changed. You know, and I lost an hour. Anyway, but that also happens when you're a preacher and you're out there. You move to the pulpit. And my watch runs so much faster up here. And that's amazing, isn't it? It can move very slow, and then all of a sudden, OK, so I'm going to get this out. I may have said this here before. I came here two years ago, and I always wanted to preach in Virginia for some reason. I don't know why. It's kind of like I always wanted to preach for Spurgeon. I never got to preach for him, but I did stand in his pulpit. I always wanted to preach for, like, G. Campbell Morgan. And I never got to preach for him, but I did stand in his pulpit. I always wanted to preach for Brad Davis, and then, Lord, help. Here I am. God bless you. And so coming here allowed me to see some folks. I said this before, Brother Jerry Adkins, I saw met him in 1974 and had not seen him all those years until two years ago here. And I was glad he was still running for the Lord. And what little bit I'm running, I'm glad to still be running for the Lord. Brother Jim, I want to finish well, I really do. And then I've made some new friends up here. Got to see some older, I've known Brother Dennis Petty for several years. Good to see him and hear him preach last night. Brother Atkinson, that was two great messages. And then Brother Bob Sanders, known him for some years. That was tremendous this morning. Thank you. I just met Brother Peter here last year, before last, and tremendous messages. So I'm good. I'm covered in that. You've already heard two great messages. If I strike out again, then you can say, well, at least we heard two good messages. So anyway, but I'm glad to be here. 1 Samuel 17, if you have your Bibles, and I hope we can go away with a good spirit, a good attitude. We don't want to be like the guy who went to the doctor. And, you know, they take you in or maybe even a nurse's clinic and they'll take you in and they'll, you know, do blood pressure and maybe weigh you and get your height and all that. And so he went back there and so the nurse told him, said, okay, sir, we need to get your weight. So he said, well, it's going to be around 195, it might be 200. So he stepped on the scales and it was 230. He looked at her, he said, well, sir, that's, all right, all right. So then they got his height. He said, well, it's going to be around six foot. Got his height, and he was 5'10". And so he's not happy. She said, well, let's get your blood pressure. So she took his blood pressure, and his blood pressure was 180 over 110. And she said, sir, your blood pressure is way up, way too high. He said, well, what do you expect? I come in here, and I was tall and skinny. And now I'm short and fat. So, who knows what it will be after I get through. But anyway, I'm glad to see some missionaries that we support and ministries that we support here. And just to say a word then about, I called immediately after Helene, I called you, Brother Austin, some others. I didn't know to what extent even in this area. We have certainly prayed for this part back east and Georgia and all of that, during all of that, and let you know we certainly didn't forget this part of the world. We sent several group of workers and then we sent supplies and money and all, and we're still trying to help restore. I'm even glad the Saudis, go ahead and say it, I'm glad Brother Phipps, our president, showed up down here. a few weeks ago, a couple of weeks ago, and acknowledged that the area had been mistreated. And so, anyway, that will be most of my political statement this morning. But who knows, something else may slip in, whatever. So, God bless you. 1 Samuel 17. What else can be said about this chapter that has not already been said? I thought that every time I've preached it or every time I've heard somebody preach it, I thought, what else can be said? And you know, I run across something here a few months ago that I had never noticed. And I hear that a lot of times when I hear other preachers preach. Brother Gunther, that great message on restoration and then, and he just gave us the cliff notes. He just gave us the little brief You know, instead of the whole chicken, he gave us a nugget. And then Brother Bob, so much tremendous insight there. And beholding, looking at something so you can appreciate the value of it. Wow. So I hear you other men preach, and I I'd say, man, I wish I'd have seen that. I never saw that before. And I've been in the ministry over 50 years. And I'm glad I'm still gleaning and gleaning some new stuff. It doesn't surprise me, even though my wife thinks so, I've never thought that I know everything. My wife tells me that occasionally. I think that's what she's trying to say, Brother Petty. She'll say something like, you think you know everything. Is that, maybe that's what she's trying to tell me that I know, but anyway. But I've run across something here in 1 Samuel 17. Let's begin with verse 31. Everybody here knows the whole chapter, so we won't have to read the whole chapter. We won't have to read just a few verses, but we'll look over the chapter at a few things. And so I have set my, well my smart phone, which is a lot smarter than me, set itself for me coming over here. I have to set it, so I'm still on central standard time there with you. No, I'm not, I didn't, okay. I want to preach on some things that I learned from David about being a servant. Now, this message will be, as Sister said a while ago, sometimes even our songs, our messages, we think, well, this is for the preachers, or this is for this group. But now, this is for all of us. This is for all of us, and beginning with me. I want to be, I really want to be a servant. I feel like there are things as I get on in my ministry have become more important to me than maybe they were in some of my younger years. Being a servant, being a servant. I don't know that you can rank any higher in the kingdom of God than just being a servant. Well, what do you base that on? I mean, it's good to base it on something. I base it on the fact that Jude, who was a half-brother of the Lord, said, however, in his introduction, Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ. And he did go on to say the brother of James. He could have went on and said the brother of Jesus. But, brother, actually, he didn't say that. But he did say, I'm a servant. And James did basically the same thing. James who was a half brother to the Lord. James said I'm a servant of God or I'm a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. He could have said of Jude and of Jesus but he didn't. He just said I'm a servant. The great apostle Paul when he wrote to the church in the most strategic city in all of the world in that day the city of Rome. And other than the city of Jerusalem obviously. But Paul wanted to go to Rome. Finally he got to go. But you remember in Romans 1 he said in verse 1, Paul a servant, a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, a bondslayer, a servant. And so if you go right to the church in the most strategic city in the world, if you want some clout, if you want to kind of slip in your resume a little bit, if you want to at least seem pretty big. He did go on and mention that he was an apostle. But preceding his mention of being an apostle, he said, I'm a servant. So therefore, I say to you, being a servant, does anything rank higher than that? Now, we rank a lot of things higher than that as Baptists. We have a lot of things that we rank somewhere down the line, might be in the top 10, being a servant. But I think we have a tendency to not appreciate what it means to be a servant. I'll say this and then we'll walk around in the text here. That at the end of this thing when you stand before the Lord, according to the Bible, those words we long to hear are not well done thou good and faithful preacher. Well done thou Thou good and faithful singer. Thou good and faithful deacon. Thou good and faithful Sunday school teacher, whatever it might be. He just sums it up, whoever it is standing there, we long to hear those words well done, good and faithful. Servant. Servant. Servant. Can you rank any higher? Can you rank any higher? David said, or it says of David in 1 Samuel 17 verse 31, And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul, and he sent for him. David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him, thy servant, thy servant will go and fight with his Philistine. Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for thou art but a youth, and he is a man of war from his youth. David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep. And there came a lion and a bear and took a lamb out of the flock. And I went out after him and smote him and delivered it out of his mouth. And when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, smote him, and slew him. Thy servant." slew both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God." Now at least three times in this chapter David identifies himself as a servant. Now we preach about him, we sing about him, David being a shepherd out in the field taking care of sheep. That's where he was before he got down here to his brothers. And so we've spoken a lot about him being a shepherd. We talk about him being a singer, writing the Psalms. And he's a sweet singer of Israel. We've talked a lot about him being a soldier. Even in this text we see aspects of his soldierly abilities. But that would certainly be greater seen in the years to come as a soldier. And then eventually as a sovereign over the people of Israel as their king, their God chosen king. Saul was the Israel chosen king, David being the king that God chose. So we know him in those categories. I don't know if I've ever heard anybody preach on David the servant. But maybe the reason he made such a good shepherd, maybe the reason he was such a good singer, maybe it was the reason he was such a great soldier and then eventually a great sovereign is because he was a great servant. servant. That's where it starts. To any young preachers out here, I would say to you out of a lot of things I might say, but I would say focus on being a servant. Now if you're a preacher you've got to study the Word. You've got to get these books around here. There are some excellent books on these tables. I've checked them out. I've already bought one or two. I'm at the age where I ought to be getting rid of books, selling books, giving the books away. But I'm still buying books. And so there are things you have to focus on. I get that. But it behooves all of us as God's people, as sons of God as we've heard this morning. If you're going to be in a restoration business, you've got to take the role of a servant. Now if all you are is a sovereign, you're not going to do a lot of restoration. And a lot of us want to apply for that job. And so we'll have a form out there on the welcome desk and for those of you who want to be the next sovereign. And there'll be a line from here to the street down there. We're all interested in that. If we're signing up to be servants, we'll all disappear and go straight to lunch. Okay. All right. So, some things I learned from David about being a servant. Some things that I may have known, but I really didn't know it. I want to know it. I want to know it better. I want it to be real more than ever. And so I'll have to be quick about this, brother. Jim helped me. I thought he was going to help me too much. I told Brother John. I just kind of groaned. Did Jim move on there at the very end? So some things I learned, and I'm going to tell you what I'm talking about. Some things I learned from David about being a servant. What is that? Well, number one, you do the little things. Jim, I thought you were just going to keep on and on the little things. So, that's where it began. Do the little things. What is that? Well, I don't have time. All of you have this chapter memorized? All hands up. Yeah, okay, all hands went up. All right. So, I won't have to read all of it, but the fact is that when David has come back, actually from a previous visit to Saul in verse 15, says his daddy, verse 17, told him, said, Son, I want you to take this ephah of parched corn, I don't know if that is corn on the cob, and these ten loaves, I'm not sure what that was, Krispy Kreme donuts, and run to the camp to thy brethren, and then carry these pizzas, in verse 18, captain of their thousand. Now I know I've just obliterated the King James and God have mercy on me. So anyway, but parched corn, ten loaves, and ten cheeses. I did look up that word cheeses and said, well what do you expect it to be? Well I expected it to be cheeses, but also it carries with it the idea of slices. That was in there. I don't know who put it in there, if it was in Strong's or what. I don't know. I can't remember now. I can barely remember where I'm at. I think I'm in Virginia. So I don't know. Maybe that was pizza, cheese pizza. So come on. You might as well go with this. If you'll go with me, we'll get through this. We'll get you to the cheese. But if I feel resistance, I feel like I've got to establish this thought. So go with me, roll with me, come on. So go with me. Okay, so anyway, so he's going to deliver this corn on the cob, these Krispy Kreme donuts, and these pizzas. Now the problem with my changing up this stuff is I preached this somewhere and went out the door and this lady seemed to be almost upset with me. And she said, Brother Barefield, I just don't appreciate that. I said, well, ma'am, what? And she said, my nine-year-old is looking up to me and saying, Mama, let's go get some pizza right now. So there you go. What's he doing? You know what he's doing here? You know what he's doing? He's doing the little thing. Now, I'm not going to get into a thing of ascribing greatness to this and this and this and littleness to this and this and this. You figure that out. But I'll say this, what he's doing right here is not what he's famous for. He's not famous for delivering cheese to his brothers. But at the end of this chapter, he is famous for killing a giant. David Jeremiah has a book, I think it's been out probably for years, Slaying Your Giants. The title of the book is not Delivering the Cheese. You know. And so there you go. So do what? Well, do the little things. Do the little things. His daddy said, son, now I want you to go down and see your brothers. Four of them were down there on the battlefield. Is that right, or three of them? Three of them. David was the youngest, verse 14. The three eldest followed Saul. So three of them are down on the battlefield. So you go down there and take them, this stuff and check on them, see how they're doing and all that. So that's what he did. It's not a big deal. He got somebody that says take care of his sheep. He gets in this carriage and he gets his corn on the cob and his Krispy Kreme donuts and his pizza. And so here he goes. He gets over to the Valley of Elah. And there he is, and you see how this develops. It's a little thing. I mean, really. Come on. It's really not that big a deal. Is it going to be a blessing? Yeah, I guess. I don't know. It doesn't say anything about them ever eating it. I guess surely they did, maybe. I don't know. But anyway. But you've got to be willing to do the little things. Do the little things, you know. And so I want to be willing to do the little things. I think we know without somebody having to tell us, well that's not a big thing. I mean we got people that will do, if they got something that they can do and maybe get some appreciation or recognition, maybe that's a big thing. Oh, I'll do that. I'll do that. But if it's a little thing, you figure it out. There are things that nobody volunteers to do. They don't really want to do that. I mean they may walk down the aisle of the church and see a piece of paper. Just as big as a fingernail laying in the floor. They're not going to stop and pick that up. But stop and pick it up. Just stop and pick it up. Now when I say that, that's hard for me. That's hard for me. The floor to here is a lot further than what it used to be. And so but still want to do right and do the little things if I can see it and it needs to be picked up and I want it picked up and I will pick it up but I have contingency plans. If there's a child standing around pick that up. You're a lot closer to it than I am. Do the little things. Do the little things. Now let me let me take just a minute or two and preach on some things that are not in the Bible. with me. Stay with me. I gave this little joke a while ago because a guy went to the doctor and he didn't leave happy so some of you are going to go away and say that preacher, that Barefield guy from Mississippi preached on stuff that wasn't even in the Bible. Well listen to me. I'm going to preach on some things not in the Bible and you might even appreciate it. For instance, I'm going to tell you that David was willing to do the little things. But what David could have done, what David could have done was It's not in the Bible. But what he could have done, he could have said, wait a minute, Daddy. Come on, Dad. Don't you know that I have been anointed? Dad, don't you know that Samuel has already anointed me? Read it, previous chapter. I'm not going to take time to read it all. We're on a tight schedule and I've talked too much. I know that. Somebody will go out and say, well, Barriefield had to talk so much before he got to his message. I know. I know. Please. I'm still trying to learn not to do so much of that. But I can't help it. Dear Lord. I drove three days to get here. Give me a break. Look, I'm telling you what's not in the Bible. It's not in the Bible that David said, Daddy, I'm anointed, I'm the king. Get somebody else. That is not in the Bible. But it's the truth. It's the truth. Aren't you glad for that? Aren't you glad that he didn't look to his dad? But you can read about it yourself. Chapter 16, it's right there, and Samuel went and got him, and they anointed him, and his brother saw him do it. And so if word got out why don't daddy send David down here and bring us something to eat. Well he was going to but you know David's done been anointed king. So he said he didn't feel like he stooped down to do that. So that's you know that's not in the Bible. Let me give you something else not in the Bible. David could have said daddy come on daddy. Daddy come on that's not cool. Dad I'm a musician. Dad, I play the harp. Dad, do you not remember just how great a harp player I am? I can make demons flee. Dad, the king who is down there now, on the battle I guess with our brothers down there. And Daddy, he was being oppressed and he was under such depression by these demonic evil spirits and they called me in. Daddy, I played my harp. And and them them demons was getting out of there like a bunch of Democrats getting I mean like a like a I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll leave tomorrow. Don't worry. I'll quit grieving. I'll get out of here tomorrow, but Daddy, I'm a musician Don't ask me to be delivering cheese. I mean that's not in the Bible That's not aren't you glad thank God that's not in the Bible He didn't say, Dad, I'm a musician. I can't do that. That's beneath me. Dad, I'm a king. I'm just waiting to take the throne. I can't do that. Well, he could have even said that, Dad, you know, Dad, last time I checked, I got four other brothers. And, Dad, they don't ever do nothing. I'm always tending to the sheep. And the other three are down there on the battlefield. Daddy, what about them four older brethren I've got? And all they do is sit around the house and play video games or trying out for the basketball team or the soccer team. Daddy, why don't you get one of them to do it? I'm tired of you getting me to do everything. That's not in the Bible. That's not in the Bible. But except for those of you who don't know, those of you who do know, what I just told you was the truth. It was the truth. Thank God for the truth. And David was a servant, therefore he says nothing about being a king or being a musician or about the others that could have done it. But that's what we do as Baptists and church members. And it's not just preachers that do it. It's not just men that do it or women that do it. And if you're not careful you'll breed that attitude into young people. And so, no, no, we need some restoration in our churches. And we need some restoration to servanthood for people who are big people but willing to do the little things. So I don't know how big you are today. I'm not talking about physically. I don't know how big you are. But if you've gotten too big to do the little things, then you're too big. Now there is nobody too little for God to use, but there are some people who have gotten too big for God to use. Amen. Amen. The Bible is filled with Aaron and Hur. I'd like to preach on them for a while. What they did was a little thing. Moses was the man. The battle is raging. When Moses is in view of his people with his arms raised, Joshua and the army wins the battle. But when his hands begin to droop, and eventually your hands will begin to droop, even as a servant, you will eventually get tired. So you need somebody to be a servant to the servant. Aaron and her were willing to be a servant to the servant. God said to Joshua, Moses, my servant, is dead. You rank higher than Moses? No. You rank higher than Paul? No. No. And so somewhere underneath there, we ought to find ourselves. But Aaron and her were just willing to be arm holders. And not even both arms. Well, I held up both his arms. No, you didn't, Aaron. You held up one arm. One. But that's a little thing, but it became a big thing. That's why God obviously can take little things that we do and make something big out of it. If you'll give a little offering, if that's all you've got to give is a little offering, then God can make something big out of it. That's why I'm not going to relegate little things down here and big things and start naming them other than what we have in our text here. What about Moses? Moses spent 40 years in Egypt, but after that he spent 40 years in the wilderness. Tending to what? His father-in-law's sheep. wasn't even his sheep. So before he could take care of God's sheep, the nation of Israel, God puts him to tending sheep out in a wilderness, backside of nowhere, for 40 years. And maybe that was part of his learning and training so he could do the big thing. We don't sing about Moses being a shepherd on the backside of the desert for his father-in-law. But books have been written about Moses' leadership. Israel did not honor him because he tended some sheep for 40 years, but Moses was honored by Israel as the great lawgiver. Now you figure that out. Is being the lawgiver great? I would say so. Tending some sheep on the backside of nowhere, it don't even belong to you, maybe it's a little thing. But it was important. in the working of God in his life. I could talk to you about Philip the deacon. I've got several more here. I'm bypassing a bunch of them. But I want to talk to you just a second about Philip the deacon doing the little things. Philip was a deacon, was he not? And so as a deacon you know what his first responsibility was in the context of the Scripture was to take care of some widows that were being neglected in the daily ministration. And so I see him with a bag of groceries. down to some widow's house and knocking on the door and she comes and she recognizes him. Oh, Phillip, so good to see you. What are you doing here? What's in those bags? Oh, sister, these are yours. These are yours. These are groceries. These are groceries. And she said, Phillip, You're just in time. You know, Philip, since I got saved and become a Christian, my whole family's abandoned me. You know, my son works at the temple. And the rest of my family are all such traditionalists in Judaism. They think I've abandoned the faith, and they've forsaken me. And I know I was fussing the other day, some of us, we felt like we were being neglected. We felt like nobody cared. And I know the apostles, I know they have to pray, they have to go out and witness and preach, but it just seemed like I couldn't do anything. I can't work a job, Philip, I can't take care of myself. Phillip, my cupboard is empty. I have no groceries. I'm out. I'm empty. Doug says, well, not anymore, sister. And this will get you today. And there's more where this came from. There's more where this came from. That's how Phillip got his start. Brother Austin, that's how he got his start. read on in the Book of Acts. God's got a burden, if I can put it that way, for Samaria, the city of Samaria, and he needs a preacher. He needs a Crusadist revivalist to go down there and preach. Now he's got apostles, and I'm sure he had some other preachers we learned about, but of all people, this deacon, Read about it, it's in your King James Bible. And they're down there preaching and the Bible says that there was great joy in the city. People all over the place getting healed. And I'm telling you it was a tremendous time. I mean it's done broke out. Brother Austin, it's like a C.T. Townsend meeting. I mean, it has gone into weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. And I'll just say I love CT. I do love him. I appreciate it. I wish I had some of his octane. Good night. He wears me out just being around him a few minutes. He's got a lot of octane. And so people like him, though, can go weeks and weeks and weeks. No matter if it's in Burlington or Bristol or wherever it is. Anyway, So man he is preaching away and people are getting cities turned upside down for the Lord by Philip. And maybe in the height of the meeting God says, Philip come here. Now you're working with hundreds here, maybe thousands, but I need you to leave here Are you all with me? Am I still in the book? So you go to the desert. Now it looks like ultimately it looks like his ministry is going to be to one man. One man. But Philip is a servant. Servant. Servants don't ask questions. Servants just say, yes sir. said, basically when his daddy said, go take that food down there. No arguments. He could have said he was a king, couldn't he? But he didn't. No servants just do what they are told. That takes a lot of pressure off of us. It took a lot of pressure off of me years ago. I told somebody last night, I'm glad for the day I learned I was not the Holy Spirit. That's a hard office for a person to fill. I'm glad I learned that years ago. It took a lot of, so he says, okay, Lord, whatever you want. So he goes down to the desert. Gaza, you ever heard of Gaza? And lo and behold, this entourage is coming in, going down through there, coming from Jerusalem and is headed, we find out, to Ethiopia. And a dignitary is on there. And this man is the treasure to the queen. And the servant has the audacity to join himself to them. And he gets an invitation to get in the chariot with this dignified person from Ethiopia who has some way, somehow, and there's a lot in there, I can't figure out how he even wound up in Jerusalem wanting to worship God. Well, you know about God. I don't know what he knew. I don't know if somebody from the day of Pentecost down to Ethiopia and said a word or two and then this guy gets stirred up. He goes to Jerusalem but he left Jerusalem as empty as he was when he got there except he's got a scroll. Now scrolls weren't like going down to the bookstore and buying books off the shelf. But he's able to acquire a scroll and it will tell you how much he paid for them. and he just happens to be reading Isaiah 53. And Philip says, do you understand all that? No, how can I, except some man explained it to me. Well, I can do that. And right there he began to preach to him who? Jesus. He gets saved, he explains to him about some church doctrine, even throwed in baptism. He said, Well if you believe, I believe, I believe, I believe. And out in the desert there happened to be a baptismal pool. And they pull over, he gets baptized. Philip gets raptured. Not to heaven, but out of there. Read it. Read it. He's gone. He just disappeared. Yeah. And so the Ethiopian gets back in the chariot and he gets baptized. goes to Ethiopia and what Philip just did by leaving a big crusade and touching a city, now he's touching a nation by winning this man, leading him to the Lord. Do the little things. Wait on that widow and who knows what God may have you doing in a few weeks, a few months, a few years. Time is up, I'm sure. So let me say, do the little things. Next, I would say, do the likely things. What is that? Well, he told Saul when Saul said, you can't fight him. But he said, oh yeah, yeah, he said, when that barren lion tried to get my daddy's sheep, he said, I rescued the sheep and I killed both the lion and the bear. Now, he's a shepherd, so you just do the likely things. If you're a shepherd, you protect the sheep. That's the likely thing to do. As believers, the likely thing. Not only do the little thing, but do the likely thing. Now here's where you can really preach, preachers, if you are inclined to even remotely thinking about using this little outline. Here's where you can really preach, do the likely things. As Christians, as believers, as sons of God, as church members, it's likely that we're going to pray. So pray. It's likely for us to give, and so give. It's likely that we would attend church. If you're a Christian, a church member, it's likely you would do that. You know, just on and on, whatever is the likely thing for us to do. And so do that. And then finally do the large thing. Do the little thing, do the likely thing, but then there's that big giant out there. And it's time somebody confronts him. And that's a large thing, literally and spiritually. And as we walk in our walk as Christians, eventually you're going to come to some large things. As pastors, I don't have the time and you don't either for me to tell you some of the large things that we've had to do and we lost sleep over it. And we got sick in our stomach about it. And we sweated. And I'll just tell you this much. The large things are going to require a lot more faith than doing the little things. And you're going to have to step out there and you don't know if that crowd behind you is behind you or not. After the way David's brothers treated him and the way Saul tried to dress him up, all Saul wanted to do was make him look like Goliath, put a helmet on him, put all that armor on him. And so is that the way you defeat the enemy? You become like the enemy? Not David. David said, let me do what's been proven. Let me do what I know will work. Now, what may work for the world out there, against the world, whatever, but for me and you, no. No, we're going to have to do the things of the faith. You're going to have to faith it. Now, you can fight it out other ways, but it'll just get bigger. It'll get uglier. It'll create a stench and a smell you don't want to be around. When you fight the world on world terms, when you even fight within the church in worldly ways, so we have to faith it. You have to faith it. You have to, God, how do you want me to deal with this situation? How do you want me to? And you do that. You say, well, they get mad at me, so I'll get mad back. No, it's going to wind up stinking. Well, they're so selfish. I'll just be selfish. No, no, no, no, no, no. No. Well, they never sacrifice. I'm not going to sacrifice. It's not going to work. It's not going to work. To do the large things. And if you don't do the large things, they're going to call you names. That giant called David, a bunch of names and all that. After a while, David just run toward them. Read it, it's in your Bible. He ran toward him. And he said, I'm coming to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts. And he was slinging that sling. Nobody ever killed a giant like that before. Took him down. Do the large thing, even with the little thing. God bless you, brother.
