Can we tell if people love and trust God by their appearance? Who is the only one that knows completely if we love God or not? And how does he know? Takeaway: God doesn’t look on the outside; he looks inside at our hearts.  2. Why were all the Israelites afraid of Goliath? Why wasn’t David afraid? How can we be like David? Takeaway: God is with us, so we don’t need to be afraid of our enemies.  3. What happened when David was anointed that gave him strength for the battle? How was David able to defeat the mighty Goliath? If we are Christians, we have the Spirit just like David. How can this help us when we feel weak or afraid? Takeaway: The Spirit of the Lord is our strength.  [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/1" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][divider line_type="Full Width Line" line_thickness="1" divider_color="default"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column centered_text="true" column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/1" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column_text] At Soma Church, we desire that every child will grow in their relationship with God, learn to hear His voice, and follow His calling on their lives.
