Look to the Right Champion

Introduction: The Oxford Concise Dictionary defines a Champion as:

1. A person who has surpassed all rivals in a sporting contest or other competition.
2. A defender of a cause or person.
3. So that historically, a knight might finish in single combat on behalf of the monarch.

Outline:

1. The giant Goliath was a conceited champion, who looked to and trusted on himself.
2. King Saul was a cowardly champion, who looked at and focused on his enemy.
3. David, a shepherd boy, was a courageous champion, who looked to and trusted in his God.

Conclusion: Christ is our champion who on the cross defeated sin and death and has given us His Spirit to strengthen us in all of our spiritual battles!
