    Samson's realy weakness was that he was a he-man with me-problems. Contrast his attitude with Jesus'...

    Every superhero has a weakness. For Superman it was a make-believe mineral called kryptonite. In the presence of this radioactive rock, Superman lost his powers and became like any other man.

    What does God expect His servants to do with all that He has given them? All the talents, gifts, and opportunities? God expects His servants to live life with dignity and decency.

    The message endeavours to explore the tragic life of Samson, a man given to pursue his own will despite the rich blessings of God and the call to serve as a Judge of Israel.

    “Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a prostitute, and he went in to her. The Gazites were told, ‘Samson has come here.’ And they surrounded the place and set an ambush for him all night at the gate of the city. They kept quiet all night, saying, ‘Let us wait till the ...read more

    Of the four types of love, only one can be chosen -- Agape. God did this intentionally because Agape is the most powerful, and echoes the love He has for us.

    Last week we began our series on the L Word with lust, as an example of what love is not. That means that tonight we will begin to learn about what love is. But which love are we talking about? If that question doesn’t make sense, don’t worry -- you’re not alone. We only have one ...read more

    Samson is often seen as the example of how NOT to be a man of God. But Hebrews 11 lists him in the chapter of faith. So what is it about Samson and his faith that we need to learn?

    Last week we looked at Abraham. Abraham believed God and he trusted God to lead him even though he didn't know where God was sending him. But we saw that he had his moments of weakness too. Today we'll look at Samson and see how he is just like us.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,550 views

    A study of waste and wasted potential. Samson had such potential to be a great man of God. Instead of treasuring the gifts he'd been given, he wasted his strength on his own desires.

    What a Waste Seeds: some background notes from a Steve Malone message/outline. 1. I’m aggravated by waste. 2.

    When The Ark Of God Is Captured By The Enemy

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jun 18, 2021
     | 3,796 views

    The ark of God represents the presence of God. It was the symbol of God's power and glory in the nation of Israel. When the bearer of the ark of God allows sin to reign in his heart, the presence of God departs from the ark.

    TEXT: 1 Samuel 4:10-11 (NLT) "So the Philistines fought desperately, and Israel was defeated again. The slaughter was great; 30,000 Israelite soldiers died that day. The survivors turned and fled to their tents. The Ark of God was captured, and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were ...read more

    Manipulation is a demonic spirit that one must be delivered from, so that one would not manipulate others and one would not be manipulated.

    What is manipulation? In my own understanding, manipulation is: • An act of tactically influencing another person mind into thinking or doing what they would not have otherwise thought or done. • A demonic and afflicting spirit, because of the characters it exhibits.

    If you want to save yourself and lead others to safety, commit yourself totally to the Lord, and don’t compromise on that commitment. But if you have, cry out to the Lord, who can still save you and use you for His glory.
