    This study concerns the two prayers uttered by Sampson’s father, Manoah.

    Introduction: This chapter begins the section of chapters in Judges about Samson. In 13:1-7 we have the coming of an angel of the LORD to the wife of Manoah, a woman who was barren. The LORD told her that she would have a child, what and how this child would serve the LORD, and how she too needed ...read more

    How to keep from dancing with the devil

    Samson was the superman to the Israelites. He was handsome and strong, tall, tan, and terrific. Samson was born in the time of Judges where a new generation of those who didn’t know God did evil because they did what was right in their own eyes. Very much like the new millennium. “Just Do ...read more

    Samson Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 2, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,314 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

    There’s an old saying that goes: "when you journey through the vineyards, you’ll eventually eat the grapes."

    When Heroes Fail Us Series

    Samson had all the resources to be a great hero, except for one thing, a powerful lust. What makes this man a candidate for the hall of fame in Hebrews 11:32? What makes us potential heroes for God?

    WHEN HEROES FAIL US Are there any heroes left? Do you have anyone in your life you would consider a hero? Are there men or women who you look up to? Our children and teenagers look up to a variety of stars as models to follow. Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers have captured the younger hearts. ...read more

     | 8,429 views

    Samson confronts the Philistines while the Israelites cower and wonder about their future. What they don’t realize is that allowing evil to continue will destroy their future.

    THE PERILS OF CONFRONTING EVIL “The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing” (Edmund Burke, English Philosopher). Confrontation is never easy. It is probably the last thing any of us really wants to do. When we see a brother or sister in Christ behaving ...read more

    Can You Have God's Gifts Without God's Blessing Series

    Contributed by Charles Jones on Sep 3, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,731 views

    Samson demonstrated that it is possible to experience the gifts and power of God without the blessing of God. God gives people abilities to accomplish His purposes, but that in no way guarantees that they will seek to know Him or follow His ways.

    When we look in the book of Hebrews Chapter 11 which is called "The Heroes of the Faith" we see where the Bible lists Samson as a hero of the faith the unknown writer of Hebrews say’s in (Heb. 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of ...read more

    Sexuality, Materialism, and Approval of man are all areas of a faulty focus.
