    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

    Samson was a man who was gifted with supernatural strength but has not much with regards to his moral character. He was greatly empowered by God but he was not able to control his desires. We will learn several life lessons from this story.

The four D's of Samson's downfall - His Desire, His Disrespect, His Disobedience and His Deception. First, he was overwhelmed by his desire for the woman. When he went to Timnah, he ...read more

    Samson was man of supernatural strength given by God but was overwhelmed by the inward sexual desire through the enticement of Delilah. He should have run, but he did not. We can learn valuable lessons from his life.

    We are now in chapter 16 of the Book of Judges. We have been studying the life of Samson. Last week, we looked at the highlights of Samson's life - the three W's - Samson's Wedding, Samson's Wager and Samson's Wrath. We have learned first of all that Samson insisted in marrying the woman in Timnah ...read more

    Making Something Good Out Of Something Bad

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 10, 2016
     | 7,159 views

    God is never responsible for evil acts, but he is so wise that he uses evil acts to accomplish his good purposes. God oversees our wicked actions. No sin happens that God does not deliberately allow.

    God can take something evil and use it for his glory. Does that seem strange to you? Well, it is strange, but we must remember that God works in ways that may seem to be strange to us. In the reading we heard from the Book of Judges a few minutes ago, we heard an example of how God takes ...read more

    An overview of Samson's life, emphasizing that his significance was not in the apparent heroic deeds, but in his life as a Judge.

    It’s the first Sunday of the year, so I feel kind of like I’m the opening act, getting you all warmed up I’m also aware that a lot of us look to the start of a new year with hopefulness and with desires to make changes, perhaps with resolutions and desires to accomplish great ...read more

    What should we learn from Samson's downfall and his restoration?

    Today we will finish the story of Samson in Judges 16… as you open your Bibles there, let us remind ourselves of Samson. What can we say about Samson so far from Judges 13-15?? In the Book of Hebrews in the New Testament, Samson is listed as one of the heroes of faith for Christians…. Why? The ...read more

    Revenge Is Sweet—or Maybe Not Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 16, 2020
     | 2,925 views

    Samson may have thought revenge was sweet, after he took his own revenge on the Philistines, but revenge surely seemed to leave a bitter aftertaste.

    Introduction: Between chapters 14 and 15, a period of time has gone by. Samson, at the end of chapter 14, was furious with his bride after she used her tears to basically ruin their week-long wedding feast. Several of the wedding guests—whom Samson didn’t seem to invite in the first place—placed a ...read more

    Samson was bound with ropes and handed over to his Philistine enemies. He faced odds against him of 1000 to 1 or more that he would survive, yet he did! And guess what he used to attack his enemies. . . .

    Introduction: Samson had taken revenge on the Philistines twice after his return to Timnath (Judges 15:1-8). Once he found out his father-in-law had given his bride to the “companion” or best man, as we would say these days, Samson caught 300 “foxes”. He then tied them tail-to-tail, placed a torch ...read more

    Samson: The Final Chapter, Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 20, 2020
     | 4,031 views

    Samson went back to Philistine land twice, after his escape from Gaza , looking for love. He got more than he bargained for. When he met Delilah, and told her the secret of his strength, that led to the final chapter of his life.

    Introduction: Samson, by this time, had survived a number of encounters with the Philistines, Israel’s enemy and rulers at the time. This final chapter of his life is not the best chapter, in that he fell into an enemy’s trap. That would cost him his sight, and led to the cost of his life. Even ...read more

    Manipulation

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 3, 2020
     | 11,151 views

    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.

    We Christians today are to be encouraged by those who went before us in their faith and growing faith in God, throw off sin and whatever holds us back with our faith, persevere in faith and live out the life God called you to live, and always, always, see and listen to Jesus Christ!

    Please open your Bibles to the Book of Judges and let us quickly revisit Chapter 13…. How were Samson’s parents supposed to raise Samson to be??
