    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. Waste: wasted time (waiting in line, or at the doctor, or to get your driver’s license), wasted food (seeing food thrown away, or left on the plate), wasted money (government ...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.

    JUST LIKE US (part three) Recap: Last week we looked at Abraham. Abraham was a man who believed God and he trusted God to lead him even though he didn't know where God was sending him.

     | 35,449 views

    Today we’re going to look at the danger of sleeping spiritually. The scriptures indicate three reasons THIS IS NO TIME TO SLEEP: we're in a storm, we're in the presence of the enemy, and Jesus needs us now!

    THIS IS NO TIME TO SLEEP! INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. God has a funny sense of humor. He made US didn't he? I heard a story of how God made a young minister’s sermon come alive. 2. While a student at Bucknell University, he was invited to speak at a church in New Columbia, Pennsylvania. The ...read more

    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

    When The Ark Of God Is Captured By The Enemy

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jun 18, 2021
     | 3,832 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

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
     | 7,333 views

    The Story Of Samson Is One Of The Saddest In The Bible. David, Elijah, Peter, Moses, Jacob, all came back. Samson did, but partially. He was gifted to be God’s man in Israel’s critical hour. But he misused his privilege and partially fulfilled his mission - an example for us all.

    We await a trumpet call: REVEILLE. Can we hear the call: WAKE UP? BE READY? BE PREPARED? Spiritual sleep is hindering the work of the church. Let us arise out of SPIRITUAL SLEEP and answer duties' call!

    THE SPIRIT’S CALL TO REVEILLE! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com My opinion is that we are living TODAY IN A VERY PERILOUS TIME. History calls China the SLEEPING NATION.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,376 views

    Although his life is filled with one exciting adventure, Samson had a fatal attraction to the Philistine world. We must be careful about what claims our attention and dominates out thought life. If you get too close to the world, the world will dine you, wine you, blind you & bind you.

    Sermon. Here Comes The Judge – Samson, the Son of Promise Judges 16:18-30 Introduction: Samson was a Hebrew with an unusual gift of strength who must respond properly to the call of God on his life in order to lead his people out of enslavement.

    This sermon focuses on the extraordinary but sad life of Samson. A man who had the potential to be a great spiritual leader, but his disobedience and lack of self-control prevented him from becoming the person God had intended him to be.

    If you have your Bibles with you today and you want to try to follow along, we are actually going to be looking at a number of chapters starting with Judges 13:1. As many of you know, we have been going through a series called Extraordinary People of the Bible. The lesser known people of the ...read more

    Samson was a man with absolute power who was absolutely blinded by his pride in his power. How can we avoid falling into the same trap that took him down?

    When my dad sold his business and retired, he got bored just sitting around – so he went to work as a meat inspector for the government. They gave him a white coat and helmet and special knife, and his job was to go to meat plants (like Tyson or Indiana Packers) and inspect the meat as it was ...read more

    Samson put his faith in God in an age of national doubt and apostasy.

    A. THE BIRTH OF SAMSON 1. From the weak unlikely tribe “of the Danites” (Judges 13:2) 2. A Nazarite from birth (13:7), i.e., separated to God. (Numbers 6:1-13). a. Can’t cut hair. b.
