    This sermon focuses on the extraordinary but sad life of Samson. A man who had the potential to be a great spiritual leader, but his disobedience and lack of self-control prevented him from becoming the person God had intended him to be.

    Last week we looked at Abraham. Abraham believed God and he trusted God to lead him even though he didn't know where God was sending him. But we saw that he had his moments of weakness too. Today we'll look at Samson and see how he is just like us.

    A Self-Centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 17, 2021
     | 3,318 views

    Today’s sermon is about a childless couple unexpectedly blessed with a grape-less son who ends up being a womanizing hothead hippie, marries the enemy, has a hobby of setting fox’ tails on fire, gets put in prison just because he gets a haircut, and dies of fallen arches. This is how it happened.

    A Self-centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence (Judges 13-16) Some people think that God using someone means God endorsing someone. God uses two types of people: 1. Those He uses because of their close walk with Him. 2 Timothy 2:21, “Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is ...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.

    The Story Of Samson Is One Of The Saddest In The Bible. David, Elijah, Peter, Moses, Jacob, all came back. Samson did, but partially. He was gifted to be God’s man in Israel’s critical hour. But he misused his privilege and partially fulfilled his mission - an example for us all.
