Sermons on Days Are Evil:

Samson, Part 3 Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 17, 2007

What happened to Samson that brought him back to the Lord and what was his real source of strength. How does that relate to our own strengths in the hands of God?

What was the secret to Samson’s strength? Was it really his long hair? God never says that. In fact, I think from the text the secret to his strength was the inrushing of the Holy Spirit. We see it in 14:6 with the lion, 14:19 with the 30 Philistine men, 15:14 and with the 1,000 Philistines. From ...read more

Some of Jesus’ parable is lost to us city dwellers. He was speaking to members of a much more agrarian society.

This teaching shows us where Jesus came from and His relationship with God the Father. It will give some startling information to many. It is from the Gospel of John.

John will not begin his Gospel with a genealogy nor an account of Christ’s birth as was done on other Gospels. Instead he will immediately establish who Jesus is and exactly what His origin is. Let’s look to the first verses. JN 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and ...read more
