Sermon Text: 1 Samuel 17:55-18:9
Theme: The favor God showed to His anointed sowed the first seeds of division among those who recognized the Lord’s will to elevate him to kingship over His people.
Structure/points: After his slaying of Goliath, David’s life changed forever. But the Lord would continue to be with him and give him success in accomplishing His will.

- Saul’s inquiry into David
- Jonathan’s love for David
- Saul’s envy of David
