Deyse preached a great sermon at the Saturday night Youth Service on

how God does not judge us or choose us based on our outward appearance

or physical strenth. He looks at our heart, which includes our

attitudes and our character. Her sermon was based on the life of King

David, and how God chose David instead of Goliath to be his leader. “I

don’t know if Goliath was beautiful, but big and strong he certainly

was. God did not choose Goliath to be the leader of His people.”

Several of the young people in our church are taking turns preaching as

they hone their skills. They need a lot of courage to do this, the same

as young people anywhere. “I kept wondering if I would have the courage

to speak, but I know that God looks at our hearts and He gives His

children courage.”
