Message: “Game Changer”

God calls ordinary people to be “game changers” - those who shift the spiritual momentum through faith, courage, reliance on Him, and influence on others.
God is in the business of raising up game changers. Not just in sports, not just in history, but in His kingdom.
1 Samuel 17:45-47 (ESV)
Point 1: Game Changers See Differently
1 Samuel 17:26 (ESV)
Israel saw a giant too big to fight. David saw a giant too big to miss.
Israel saw danger. David saw an opportunity for God’s glory.
That’s how game changers think. They don’t see the problem; they see God’s possibility.
Game changers see differently. They look through the lens of faith.
Point 2: Game Changers Live Courageously
1 Samuel 17:32 (ESV)
Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is farther in action in spite o f fear.
You don’t have to be the strongest, the smartest, or the most talented. You just have to be willing to step forward with courage.
Game changers live courageously.
Point 3: Game Changers Rely on God’s Power
1 Samuel 17:39 (ESV)
1 Samuel 17:47 (ESV)
I don’t win because I’m strong. I win because God is with me.
Game changers rely not on their own ability, but on God’s power.
Point 4: Game Changers Influence Others
1 Samuel 17:52 (ESV)
Game changers don’t just win personal victories - they inspire others to rise up.
Game changers influence others by the way they live.
Conclusion
David was just a shepherd boy, but he became a game changer because:
1. He saw differently.
2. He lived courageously.
3. He relied on God’s power.
4. He influenced others.
Romans 8:37 (ESV)
