    In the Book of Judges, there were two most prominent Judges, namely Gideon and Samson, 3 chapters were devoted to Gideon but 4 chapters to Samson. Samson was a very INTRIGUING CHARACTER to study, he was physically strong but he was morally weak.

Today, we will study about how those overtaken by darkness are redeemed. We know how God loved us and despite of our ...read more
