Samson: Dealing With Fatal Flaws Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 16, 2018

Samson’s feats are legendary but it’s his flaws that prove to be fatal. His two greatest weaknesses were revenge and romance. In fact, his weakness for women often led him on the road to revenge. He was extremely gifted, but certainly not godly.

Boast In The Lord Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 22, 2019

Paul gives three reasons for boasting only in the cross of Jesus Christ: 1) The cross has the power to free believers from the world’s bondage (Galatians 6:14b), 2) It has the power to do what the flesh cannot do, and 3) It has the power to bring salvation.

Galatians 6:14-18 [14] But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. [15] For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. [16] And as for all who walk by this rule, ...read more

Hide And Seek: When God Protects

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 22, 2025

A Kuwait war testimony anchored in Psalm 18, showing how God protects, hides, guides, and delivers His children through overwhelming danger and impossible odds.
