    Daring To Be Holy Series

    Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Jun 4, 2025
     | 629 views

    From the story of Samson we see the importance of being born to be set apart, staying set apart and recognizing the Lord's presence.

    DARING TO BE HOLY I heard the story of a man who was remembering that when he was a boy, he had a brother that collected baseball cards. The brother had some cheap regular cards that they played with. However, being a serious collector, he also had some that were very valuable. Those did not ...read more

    The Weak Strong Man 10

    Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Jul 20, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,978 views

    It is odd when you get to thinking about the Philistines and Samson. They knew his weakness but did not know what gave him great strength. His weakness of course was women.

    The weak strong man 10. Judges 16:4-21. 07/20/05 These last two studies in the life of Samson are dark scenes and a great warning of the danger in walking after the lust of the flesh. Samson’s disregard of the call of God in his life has led him down the street of dead end and no turning back. ...read more

    A Thousand To One, And He Won! Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 19, 2020
     | 2,763 views

    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
     | 4,247 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

    Samson: The Final Chapter, Part 2 Series

     | 5,104 views

    When these events took place, Samson was in trouble and he knew it. The final chapter of his life concludes with a very significant event. May we learn from Samson: trust God, but don't make the same mistakes he did!

    Introduction: When the events of this story took place, Samson is in the Philistine prison in Gaza (16:21); his head was shaved and he was bound in fetters of bronze (brass, KJV). He was sentenced to grind (grain?) in the prison house. Even worse, he was blind—the Philistines had put out his eyes ...read more

    Manipulation

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 3, 2020
     | 11,299 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. "Psychological ...read more

    New Jaw Bone Of A Donkey

    Contributed by Bala Samson on May 27, 2020
     | 7,900 views

    The jawbone of a donkey was no great weapon, but a warrior uses the tools that are with him efficiently and effectively.

    New Jaw bone of donkey! Judges 15:16”Then Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, Heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men." Sometimes you think the battle is over, not aware that the enemy is conniving for the next attack! Caveat! Look at the ...read more

    Sermon # 20 - A Repentant Heart Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 25, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,034 views

    Jonah was brought to the depths and after being battered in the belly of a big fish, Jonah repented and turned back to God. Rebellion is detrimental to us and only those who repent and get back to God can fulfill His purposes for their lives.

    For this study and meditation we will read, Jonah 1:17, “When Jonah fell into the sea, the LORD chose a very big fish to swallow Jonah. He was in the stomach of the fish for three days and three nights.” (ERV) When Jonah disobeyed God, and voyaged in the opposite direction to the place God bid him ...read more

    Sermon # 22 - Longing For God's Presence Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 31, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,127 views

    As Jonah languished in the belly of the fish, he cried out to God and sought His presence. As believers of the new covenant we have the promise of the presence of the Holy Spirit of God every moment of our lives. May we learn to value God’s presence and live in obedience to His word.

    We read in Jonah 2:4,"Then I thought, 'I have been banished from your sight. Will I ever see your holy temple again?' (GW) After Jonah was swallowed by the big fish that God prepared, Jonah spent three turbulent days and nights in the belly of that fish. At the end of those three ...read more

    Samson lost God's presence.

    A. THE BIRTH OF SAMSON 1. From the weak unlikely tribe “of the Danites” (Judges 13:2) 2. A Nazarite from birth (13:7), i.e., separated to God. (Numbers 6:1-13). a. Can’t cut hair. b.

    The Place Is Too Small

     | 575 views

    Sometimes God's blessing creates beautiful problems that require faithful responses, while other times success can lead to spiritual complacency that demands honest restoration.

    The Place Is Too Small 2 Kings 6:1-6 Introduction There comes a moment in every believer's life, in every ministry, and in every congregation when we must honestly assess where we are and where God is calling us to go. Sometimes we find ourselves in seasons of growth that demand expansion, and ...read more
