    Revenge Is Sweet—or Maybe Not Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 16, 2020
     | 2,675 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

    Manipulation

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 3, 2020

    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. "Psychological ...read more

    We are used by God. We see miracles. We see His hand work through our hands. Is that enough? Is there more?

    Used I. Introduction Thankful to be here.

    Samson--A Consecrated Nan

    Samson is one of the most remarkable men that you will meet in the Bible. Even his birth was extraordinary, since only one other person in the Old Testament was privileged to have his birth foretold by an angel.

    Samson—A Consecrated Man 20 Then she said, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” He woke up and thought, “I’ll leave as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him. 21 Then the Philistines captured Samson and tore out his ...read more

    At birth Samson was called into a Nazirite vow. It consisted of never tasting alcohol, staying away from the dead, and never cutting the hair. (A lifestyle of outward consecration.) 1. Love God. 2. Loving our neighbor.

    One More Time Judges 16:28NKJ Then Samson called to the Lord, saying, “O Lord God, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!” At birth Samson was called into ...read more

    Samson: A Life Wasted

    Contributed by Rich Cook on Jul 2, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,555 views

    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

    This sermon is to remind us that every person that we encounter in life is not always our firend. And by the way...smiling faces do tell lies.

    Introduction: We as Christians have to be ever so careful who we associate ourselves with. We have to be careful who we allow to be in our space. We even have to be careful who we allow in our homes. My father would always say, Watch your friends and your enemies can’t hurt you. Sometimes your ...read more

    Judges 14:5-14:9 5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. 6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and [he had] nothing in his ...read more

    One author wrote, “Samson strangled a lion; yet he could not strangle his own love. He burst the fetters of his foes; but not the cords of his own lusts. He burned the crops of others, and lost the fruit of his own virtue when burning with the flame kindl

    We live in a world in which sin is prevalent. Samson learned the hard way three things sin will always do.

    You might not know this but I am a Chicago Cubs fan. The Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908 when they beat the Detroit Tigers. So there are a lot of joke about the losing ways of the Cubs. One of those jokes makes a good introduction to this message. A Cubs fan passed away and ...read more

    Samson Part 1 Series

     | 5,217 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

    How close to the world can you get without getting into trouble? Samson finds out and the results are less than pleasant. Learn about how to keep your purpose pure as you live in the world as a Christian.

    There’s an old saying that goes: "when you journey through the vineyards, you’ll eventually eat the grapes." I’ve wandered through a vineyard or two, watched them harvest the grapes about this time of year. They sure do taste sweet.

    God does not really about the bad and negatives things things you have done in the past He's concerned about your end. so you can choose how to end. the only sad note is no one no knows the end except God. see everyday as the end

    Judges 16:28 -30 Then Samson prayed, "Sovereign LORD, please remember me; please, God, give me my strength just this one time more, so that with this one blow I can get even with the Philistines for putting out my two eyes." So Samson took hold of the two middle columns holding up the building. ...read more
