     | 27,701 views

    Samson is often seen as the example of how NOT to be a man of God. But Hebrews 11 lists him in the chapter of faith. So what is it about Samson and his faith that we need to learn?

    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.

    If you have your Bibles with you today and you want to try to follow along, we are actually going to be looking at a number of chapters starting with Judges 13:1. As many of you know, we have been going through a series called Extraordinary People of the Bible. The lesser known people of the ...read more

     | 6,621 views

    If you are familiar with biblical stories, you will immediately recognize the name Delilah. Delilah is an ancient name of Hebrew and Arabic origins. In both Hebrew and Arabic, the name means "delicate." Delilah was the love interest of Samson, who was famed for his great strength.

    Delilah Delilah's name means "delicate" or "dainty one." The Philistines approach Delilah and offer to pay her handsomely if she can find out why Samson is so strong. What Does Delilah Mean? If you are familiar with biblical stories, you will immediately recognize the ...read more

    Samson was a man with absolute power who was absolutely blinded by his pride in his power. How can we avoid falling into the same trap that took him down?

    When my dad sold his business and retired, he got bored just sitting around – so he went to work as a meat inspector for the government. They gave him a white coat and helmet and special knife, and his job was to go to meat plants (like Tyson or Indiana Packers) and inspect the meat as it was ...read more

    Self- Control

    Contributed by Norman Bernad on Jul 20, 2023
     | 2,094 views

    When the Spirit has control of our thoughts and actions, then we'll be able to think before we act and have the willingness and strength to follow God's will for our lives. Self-control requires that we think before we act.

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
     | 7,604 views

    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.

    Samson: The Final Chapter, Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 20, 2020
     | 3,915 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

     | 11,043 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.

    When The Ark Of God Is Captured By The Enemy

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jun 18, 2021
     | 4,014 views

    The ark of God represents the presence of God. It was the symbol of God's power and glory in the nation of Israel. When the bearer of the ark of God allows sin to reign in his heart, the presence of God departs from the ark.

    TEXT: 1 Samuel 4:10-11 (NLT) "So the Philistines fought desperately, and Israel was defeated again. The slaughter was great; 30,000 Israelite soldiers died that day. The survivors turned and fled to their tents. The Ark of God was captured, and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were ...read more
