    Samson Part 1 Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,265 views

    Samson had everything going for him: supportive, godly parents, a good home environment, and blessing from God. So why did he decide to walk a path of selfishness and what does that say to us?

    Samson is a puzzling character. He had great successes for the nation of Israel but personally was a total failure. He was as weak morally and spiritually as he was strong physically. Why the Lord ever used him is beyond me and why his story is just so interesting and compelling floors me. I think ...read more

    Now we like times of great victory and accomplishment but they are most likely going to be dangerous if you allow yourself to be filled with pride. God will see to it that his children know they are not self-sufficient.

    The weak strong man. Judges 15:18-20 06/29/05 After Samson had slain 1000 Philistines, he was about to die of thirst. I could certainly see how a man could get thirsty slaying a thousand enemies with his weapon being the jawbone of a donkey. But in this moment of his life of thirst, was probably ...read more

    Samson lost his power with God because Satan found his price. Many in the church today are selling out for less than Samson did? Do you hve a price that you will accept to forget your loyalty and integrity in serving the Lord?

    WHAT IS YOUR PRICE? By Pastor Jim May Judges 16:4-22 Judges 16:4-5, "And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

    300 foxes on fire became the philistines worst night mare, but what would have happened if the foxes were fireless?

    Foxes in the scripture are often symbols of the destructive nature of the devil, the unregenerate man. When they warned Jesus that Herod would kill him, Jesus said (go and tell that fox, behold I cast out devils, I do cures today and tomorrow and the third day I shall be perfected). Of the foxes ...read more
