Samson was man of supernatural strength given by God but was overwhelmed by the inward sexual desire through the enticement of Delilah. He should have run, but he did not. We can learn valuable lessons from his life.
We are now in chapter 16 of the Book of Judges. We have been studying the life of Samson. Last week, we looked at the highlights of Samson's life - the three W's - Samson's Wedding, Samson's Wager and Samson's Wrath. We have learned first of all that Samson insisted in marrying the woman in Timnah ...read more

Here is a Friend indeed!
John 15:9-17 “Friends of God” By: Rev.

This sermon talks about the incarnation of Christ and it as God’s move of intimacy toward the world.
This is the season to use T. S. Eliot’s masterful phrase about the Incarnation: "the intersection of the timeless with time." Before it was Eliot’s, that way of looking at the birth of Jesus into human form was captured by John: John 1:1-4, 14, 16-18: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word ...read more

Lengthy and loaded. Confrontational and convicting. All reasons we very seldom (but need to) spend time in the One One Nine!
119 - Pt. 1 I. Introduction It is long. It is lengthy. It is passed over by those who prefer brevity. It is neglected by those who prefer short and sweet. It is shunned by the Reader's Digest crowd. However, in its great length is also has great depth. Multifaceted. It is rich. It is worth the ...read more

Each day we live, we face many choices. Some are minor and insignificant, while others are major with lasting consequences. Moses offered a serious admonition to Israel - choose life!
Choose Life! Deuteronomy 30: 19-20 Today is designated as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, a day set aside on the third Sunday in January to celebrate and stand for the right to life, particularly in the unborn.

A horn, in scripture, represents two things: strength and a strong king or kingdom.
Professional bull riders who compete for a prize fear a bull with horns most. The possibility of being gored is greater on bulls with large horns. Horns represent strength and power. A horn, in scripture, represents two things: strength and a strong king or kingdom. In Zechariah 1:21 we see the ...read more

This sermon idea came from a sermon preached by my dear friend Eric Henderson.
The Strength to Comprehend God’s Love Text: Ephesians 3:14–21 Introduction: Trying to Measure the Immeasurable You know, we humans like to measure things. It’s in our nature. We want to know how much, how far, how deep, how high. We measure how deep the ocean is. We measure how high the sky ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21
It's easy to put on a show for others to see but is your worship heartfelt? Are you preoccupied with this idea that Jesus must be exalted through every facet of your life?
Opening illustration: Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a ...read more

God commands Ezekiel to visually demonstrate how severe the destruction of Jerusalem is going to be and restates that He has just cause to judge these people.
In Chapter 5, the prophet Ezekiel continues his prophetic parade of visual aids. In this chapter he is told to shave with a sword and burn his hair. A serious student of the Bible will note that Ezekiel’s visual demonstrations (and the historical events that they represented) follow ...read more
Scripture: Ezekiel 5:1-17
Samson lost all by compromising his committment to God. Where is his hope? Where is OUR hope?
And Samson did not know that the LORD had left him. But the Philistines took him, put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. There they bound him with chains of brass, and set him to grinding in the prison house. (Judges 16:20-21) Recall the story of Samson’s downfall. Samson was the original ...read more

The ministry can be the best of jobs and the worst of jobs, and it all has to do with the people. How does one endure the ministry? He must truly love the church. See the example of Paul.
