2025.07.26 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (30)
– Model 26 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Ps 78:70-72
Today, let us remain in place without moving around, because we are short on time. I will first give the Remnant lecture, then we’ll take a five-minute break, and after that, we’ll continue with the Core message. But how should our Remnants and our TCKs view this WRC? It is yours, so it is important.
▣ Introduction_ The future
First of all, you must gain strength. What kind of strength are we talking about?
1. Power
Power is what is needed to live in this world, so you must gain it. That includes physical strength as well. Don’t we all need strength? But there is a power even more important than this.
2. Tacit
There is a word “tacit.” What does it mean? It’s an invisible kind of power. That person seems to have a certain power. I can’t quite explain it, but they have it. This is important. While power (Power) is necessary, this power (Tacit) is even more important. But there is a power greater than even that.
3. Authority
This refers to power that comes from above. That is the power we are talking about. But even this is not the greatest.
4. Heavenly, Thronely, Eternaly
Heavenly Power. Thronely Power. Eternaly Power.
This is the power you need.
▣ Main message
Let us speak about David.
1. Psalm 78:70–72 [Fundamental]
We’ll see this again during the 1st Service tomorrow, but David already had fundamental power from his youth. He possessed this power as a young boy. When he was a shepherd, he was already engaging in praise, poetry, and prayer—things that others did not do. Spiritually, he had already become a summit. And he trained his skills. He honed his skills in protecting sheep. That’s how he was able to defeat Goliath. There were many who could throw stones back then. Most shepherds did. The important thing is in whose hand the stone lies. More precisely, the stone that David threw was used by God. That is what matters.
2. 1 Samuel 16:1–13 [Absolute bartizan]
What’s more important is the second point. What is it? He met the high priest Samuel. Samuel came and anointed David with oil and prayed for him. It was at this time that something important was passed down to him. He was able to establish the absolute bartizan. This is what you must do—gain fundamental strength and establish the absolute bartizan. Whether things go well or not doesn’t matter. You can even remain still. “From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.”
3. 1 Samuel 17:1–47 [Start of the absolute journey]
David didn’t just stop there. He encountered Goliath. You are already familiar with this story, so there’s no need for further explanation. It was the start of the absolute journey. Because he had the absolute bartizan, he could begin the absolute journey, and his first encounter was Goliath. If you hold onto this (fundamental) covenant at your age, this is what happens. If you don’t have this covenant, listening to sermons is meaningless. But if you do have it, the absolute bartizan is revealed as you listen.
What’s even more important is this: while others said a crisis had come, David didn’t see it as a crisis—it was a chance, an opportunity. That’s what matters. While everyone else was saying it was a disaster, David saw it as a chance.
For 40 days, in a valley called Elah, Goliath shouted at Israel. For 40 days. What did he say? He didn’t complicate things. He just asked for one person—someone who could defeat him. Let’s end it once and for all. “If I lose, take everything from our nation. If you lose, we’ll take everything.”
He was 6 cubits and a span tall—2.9 meters. He wore armor weighing 57kg. His spearhead alone was 7kg. And he shouted, demanding a fight.
David heard this on his way. He made a decision—to take Goliath down that day. He said to his brothers, “I will fight Goliath.” But they said, “Are you crazy?” They said, “You’re an evil and wicked person. You’ve always been a wicked one. You’re arrogant and evil.”
Isn’t that ridiculous? Who’s the truly wicked one? David responded to his brothers who rebuked him by saying, “Do you think I have no reason?”
Children who don’t amount to much rebel without cause. But those who will move the world rebel with a reason. So that message reached the king.
When the king saw David, of course, he thought, “What can a little boy like this do?” But this is what David said to King Saul: “The Lord delivered me from the paw of the lion and the bear. I believe He will deliver me from this one who defies the Lord.” He had greater faith than the adults. This is what a remnant is.
David ran toward Goliath. He didn’t just walk—he ran. When he stood before Goliath, Goliath mocked him, saying, “Am I a dog that you come at me with sticks?” That was Goliath’s final statement. David said this: “You come against me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord whom you defy.”
He said, “Today the Lord will deliver you into my hands. I will prove that life is not in the sword, but in the hand of the Lord. I will prove to the whole world that the Lord is the one true God.” And that was the end of it.
That’s David’s story.
Now, did Goliath understand all that? It doesn’t matter.
David flung the stone, and it hit him dead on. Precisely. Goliath collapsed on the spot.
The Bible says, “David had no sword.” But he didn’t need one. He took the sword at Goliath’s waist, pulled it out, and cut off Goliath’s head.
This wasn’t a haphazard action—it was planned.
He took the head and brought it before the king.
And the whole world was thrown into an uproar.
That was the beginning of the absolute journey.
▣ Conclusion_ 1 Chronicles 29:10–14
David spent his life preparing the temple through prayer.
Before that, he established a thousand bartizans. David was truly remarkable.
How was he able to do all this?
That will be the topic of tomorrow’s 1st Service message.
