     | 14,007 views

    The answer to his own riddle, is the revelation from God to Samson, about what must he do in his life. It’s so tragic that Samson answered the wrong answer, for his own riddle.

    SAMSON’S RIDDLE Judges 14:14,18 (AMP) And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not solve the riddle in three days. What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion? What is the answer to this riddle? I believed the ...read more

    Ordination sermon, involving a play on the names of Samson in the Bible and Sampson, the ordinand, an entertainer, puppeteer, and beauty pageant winner. The whole secret of strength is in using the gifts God has given for ministry and not for one’s self.

    The world didn’t give it, and the world can’t take it away. Isn’t that what we sing. I’m not so sure. What do you think? The world didn’t give it? I agree. That’s true. But the world can’t take it away? I am not at all sure. We are here today because Yolanda Sampson has heard the ...read more

That nation was the Philistine nation. (Interestingly, the word Philistine is where we get our word “Palestinian,” so this ...read more
