    When Samson’s hair was cut he lost his power, the Spirit of God left him. However when his hair grew back and he returned to God his power came back. If we fail God and return our spiritual power returns.

    I FEEL LIKE MY HAIR IS GROWING BACK Text: Judges 16:22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. a.

    We have all experienced failure like Samson. But do you feel your hair starting to grow back???

    The High Cost of Living Low Some are born to privilege, w/ many advantages, and can't seem to succeed, and then others are the opposite, born to nothing, and rise above it all to great success. Samson was an example of the former. He was born at a special time in Israel's history. 7 times this ...read more

    Samson's Achilles' Heel

    Contributed by Raymond Lu on Aug 9, 2010
     | 9,803 views

    The truth is, we have our own “Achilles’ heel.” These are areas of the enemy’s favorite target points. We may fall like Samson (only He knows) except when we lean on God’s grace in the spiritual battle. When God gives special abilities, the more we shall

    Those who are familiar with Greek mythology sure read about Achilles. Achilles was the bravest, and the most handsome warrior in the army of Argamemnon. It was said that when Achilles was still a child, he was held by the heel, and upside down was dipped in the river call Styx. From then on, ...read more

    I have heard and read quite a number of analysis of the weakness of Samson, his lack of self control and his inability to resist the power of a woman

    Judge 16: 1-31 I have heard and read quite a number of analysis of the weakness of Samson, his lack of self control and his inability to resist the power of a woman…well, guess these are all correct in their own ways but I would like to look at this man of God from another perspective.

    Samson was reckless. He became arrogant in his self pursuits always assuming that God would bless him because he was special. He virtually abandoned his spiritual life over the course of 20 years then was shocked that God was gone. In the end, he lost

    Last week we learned that Samson was special. Even before he was born God had put a call on his life and all Samson had to do was walk into his calling. His calling was clear, God wanted to use Samson to move the Israelites out of their complacency because they were losing their identity. They ...read more

     | 3,122 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

    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.
