    • This sermon emphasizes the vital role of studying the Word of God in shaping a life that is pleasing to God, especially for the young. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:15, the apostle Paul’s exhortation to Timothy highlights that the goal of study is not human approval but divine approval. Timothy, who was likely converted as a teenager, was encouraged to become a diligent student of Scripture so that he might rightly divide the word of truth and serve God without shame. This establishes a foundational principle: anyone who desires to be used by the Lord must be rooted in the disciplined study of God’s Word.

      The sermon explains that study begins with humility. To study is to admit personal inadequacy and a need for divine wisdom. King Solomon exemplifies this posture when, at only twenty years of age, he acknowledged his inability to lead God’s people and asked for an understanding heart. God’s wisdom is revealed to those who first recognize their limitations and seek instruction. Many adults later regret not acquiring wisdom earlier, realizing that much pain could have been avoided through godly understanding.

      Studying Scripture also functions as a safeguard against trouble. One cannot easily fall into gossip, idleness, or sin when occupied with purposeful learning. Paul’s instruction to the Thessalonians to “study to be quiet” shows that disciplined focus promotes order and spiritual maturity. Moreover, study develops self-control and discipline—qualities especially crucial for young people. Modern neurological insights confirm that adolescents are still developing the brain regions responsible for decision-making and impulse control, reinforcing the wisdom of grounding youth in Scripture.

      The sermon concludes by highlighting the profound benefits of studying God’s Word: clarity, peace, moral purity, and spiritual understanding. As Psalm 119 declares, God’s Word brings light, wisdom, and peace. Ultimately, studying Scripture cultivates humility, discipline, and wisdom unto salvation, equipping the young to live godly, stable, and fruitful lives before God.

    • The sermon: https://apostolicinternational.com/sermons/DAVID_AND_GOLIATH.pdf
    • This sermon presents the story of David and Goliath as a powerful reminder that God often uses the faith and wisdom of the young to awaken a forgetful generation. Though wisdom usually comes with age, David—likely only around sixteen years old—demonstrated a faith that surpassed that of Israel’s seasoned warriors. While the Philistine giant Goliath terrorized Israel for forty days, the adult soldiers were paralyzed by fear. David, however, acted from memory: he remembered what God had already done.

      David’s confidence was not reckless courage but faith forged through personal encounters with God’s power. As a shepherd in Bethlehem, he had already slain a lion and a bear by supernatural enablement. These experiences taught him that deliverance comes from God, not human strength. When David faced Goliath, he viewed the giant not through fear, but through the lens of past victories—just as God had delivered him before, He would do so again. While Israel forgot how God defeated giants through Caleb and Joshua, David remembered and acted.

      The sermon also highlights David’s wisdom in refusing Saul’s armor. David understood that victory must belong entirely to God. Wearing Saul’s armor could provoke jealousy, shift credit to human strength, or associate the victory with a backslidden king. Instead, David chose the simple attire of a shepherd, showing Israel that God saves not by sword or armor, but by humble faith. This moment became a living illustration of Psalm 23—God as the Shepherd protecting His flock in the valley of death.

      Ultimately, the sermon challenges young people to embrace who God has made them to be. God does not require borrowed identities, weapons, or approval from compromised leaders. He uses the young as they are—faithful, obedient, and dependent on His Spirit. The victory over Goliath declares a timeless truth: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD.”

    • This sermon highlights the remarkable faith and courage of Miriam, demonstrating that God often accomplishes great purposes through the obedience of the young. Miriam, likely only ten to twelve years old, played a decisive role at a critical moment in Israel’s history by watching over her baby brother Moses as his ark floated on the Nile. While her parents rested in faith, Miriam acted in faith, positioning herself to intervene when the moment came. Her actions reveal spiritual maturity far beyond her years.Rather than being paralyzed by fear or emotion, Miriam showed calm wisdom and bold initiative. When Pharaoh’s daughter discovered the child, Miriam courageously approached her and suggested finding a Hebrew nurse—ensuring that Moses would be raised with the love of his own family while receiving protection and privilege in the royal household. This single, faith-filled decision preserved Moses’ life and ensured that he would grow up knowing his true identity and the promises of God.Miriam’s obedience produced lasting consequences. She became a key contributor to Israel’s deliverance long before Moses confronted Pharaoh or parted the Red Sea. Her faith ensured that Moses understood his heritage, which later empowered him to reject Egyptian identity and choose suffering with God’s people rather than the pleasures of sin. Miriam herself later emerged as a prophetess, leading Israel in worship after the Red Sea crossing—a moment made all the more meaningful because she had witnessed both Moses’ rescue and Egypt’s defeat.The sermon emphasizes that children should never be underestimated in God’s plan. Miriam’s example proves that faith, courage, and spiritual discernment are not limited by age. God Himself later honored her leadership, mentioning her alongside Moses and Aaron as one of Israel’s deliverers.Finally, the message underscores the importance of godly parents. The faith of Amram and Jochebed produced three powerful servants of God—Moses, Aaron, and Miriam—demonstrating that faithful parenting can shape the destiny of nations.
