The Philistines were the nemesis of the people of Israel—a constant threat in battle after battle after battle. The overarching story of the Old Testament tells us that "the axis on which the battle against the nemesis is won or lost is the FEAR OF GOD." In this message, Benjamin Shanks explores the theme of the FEAR OF GOD and its counterpart, IRREVERENCE in the story of David vs. Goliath. This message will encourage you to hold on to the Fear of God in a culture of irreverence.
