Heart Series: The Battle After the Battle - 1 Samuel 18
Message Title: The Battle After the BattleSpeaker: Pastor Casey KendallScripture: 1 Samuel 18Summary:In this week's message, Pastor Casey explores what happens after the victory—when the emotional, spiritual, or relational battle continues long after the giant has fallen. David had just triumphed over Goliath, but in 1 Samuel 18, he faces new opposition—jealousy, comparison, and rejection from Saul.Casey shares a personal story of being caught in a relentless set of ocean waves to illustrate the reality that life’s struggles often come in waves, not singles. These battles test our hearts, reveal our trust in God, and challenge how we respond to others’ success.Main Themes:🌊 Waves come in sets, not singles — trials often follow triumphs.🛡️ David’s greatest battles weren’t only on the battlefield but also in relationships, identity, and obedience.🧭 The danger of comparison and the illusion of perfection.💔 How jealousy and rejection can destroy others—and ourselves.✝️ The cross declares our value and cancels the need to compete for it.Key Quotes:“Comparison is not medicine; it’s poison.”“Perfection is an illusion, and perception is not always your reality.”“Jesus gives us value—we don’t need to chase it elsewhere.”“Maybe the issue is not how well you fight, but how well you surrender.”Are you caught in a battle after a battle? Are you struggling with comparison or resentment? Today’s message challenges us to stop comparing, stop rejecting, and start surrendering to the goodness of God.We’d love to walk with you through whatever season you're in.
