Rev. David Hockett's sermon reflects on the story of David and Goliath, emphasizing the importance of faith and trust in God amidst fear and division. He suggests that David's true significance lies not in his courage but in his ability to tune out the noise and listen to God. Hockett encourages us to follow David's example by focusing on five "smooth stones"—speaking the truth in love, practicing Sabbath, loving others, allowing Christ to shape our imagination, and embodying humility. By doing so, we can navigate our own challenges and offer hope and peace to the world.
