David, Goliath, and the Gospel (Discovery Series Booklet)

Celebrate the ultimate victory already won in Christ.

We all love a good underdog story.  Young David defeating the mighty Goliath with only a slingshot is a well-known and loved Bible Story.  But what if it wasn't meant to be understood as a single event? What if it was speaking to a much bigger, more important victory God had in store for all His children? In David, Goliath, and the Gospel, author Ian Vaillancourt explores how this story isn't just encouragement for facing life's challenges.  It also points to the overarching and life-transforming message of the gospel.  Because of Christ's ultimate victory, we can live life knowing the victory has already been won. 

Ian J. Vaillancourt is an associate professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Heritage Theological Seminary in Cambridge, Ontario.
