Overlooked But Chosen | How to Face Giants with Confidence from God

In this deeply personal and powerful sermon, Pastor James unpacks the life of David—overlooked by his own family but chosen by God. Whether you’ve battled rejection, low self-worth, or fear, this message shows how to exchange people’s approval for God's affirmation. From the sheep fields to slaying Goliath, David’s journey reveals the secret to courageous living: getting your confidence, courage, and calling from God. Learn how to stop living in the midst of your problems and start living in the midst of God’s promises.

Key Takeaways:

• Being overlooked by people doesn’t mean you’re overlooked by God.
• Your confidence must come from God—not man, mates, or money.
• Rejection from others can redirect you to God's calling.
• Live in the midst of God’s promises, not the midst of your problems.
• Offense blinds you to truth—don’t let what others say or fail to do keep you from seeing what God is doing.
• David’s courage came from prior private victories (lion & bear)—what hurt him prepared him.
• Your private faithfulness leads to public favor.
• Stop running from your problems and start running toward them with God on your side.
• Even Jesus was overlooked and rejected by his own people—you’re in good company.
• The most important approval you’ll ever receive comes from God.
