In this powerful sermon, The World Needs A Champion, the messages emphasizes the world’s enduring need for a true champion, likening the story of David and Goliath to the human condition and our need for a savior. Drawing from 1 Samuel 17, the sermon recounts how the Israelites faced the daunting Philistine giant, Goliath, who epitomized the traditional concept of a champion as a fearsome warrior. However, the sermon introduces the Hebrew concept of “champion” as someone who stands between two opposing forces, thus highlighting the deeper spiritual need for a mediator who can bridge the gap between humanity and divine justice.

The sermon passionately declares that while the world celebrates temporary champions in sports and other fields, what humanity truly craves is a champion in the spiritual sense—one who stands between sin and salvation. This champion is Jesus Christ, who through His sacrifice on the cross, reconciles us with God and offers peace and redemption. The sermon underscores that Jesus’ role as a champion is not merely because of His miracles or resurrection, but because He stands as an advocate and mediator for all. The invitation is clear: to recognize and embrace Jesus Christ as the ultimate champion who stands between us and the consequences of our sins, offering eternal life and hope.
