Ep. 126: More Than Conquerors: The Giant of Death vs. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies

In Podcast Episode 126, “More Than Conquerors: The Giant of Death vs. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies,” Kim discusses the giant of death. It has been said we live in a death-defying society. Of all the giants we will discuss, death will probably be the one that brings the most discomfort. Yet, as long as your fears regarding death stay in the shadows they will rob you of the life God has for you. Force your fears into the light and compare them to the power of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 17:1-58.

Additional Verses:

1 Corinthians 15:21-28, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! 52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. 53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.

54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”

56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. 57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:51-57)

14 Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. 15 Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. (Hebrews 2:14-15)
