ONE GIANT REMAINING: War means more battles to be fought.

Am I ready to fight? Am I ready to die? Am I ready to live?

How can we lead Israel back to ________________?

What did Israel _______________?

Did the people understand the ________________?

IT’S NOT ______________YET!

17:40 He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them into his shepherd’s bag.

Why ______________?

Winning 1 battle rarely means that the ______________ is over.
