    Samson was man of supernatural strength given by God but was overwhelmed by the inward sexual desire through the enticement of Delilah. He should have run, but he did not. We can learn valuable lessons from his life.

    We are now in chapter 16 of the Book of Judges. We have been studying the life of Samson. Last week, we looked at the highlights of Samson's life - the three W's - Samson's Wedding, Samson's Wager and Samson's Wrath. We have learned first of all that Samson insisted in marrying the woman in Timnah ...read more

    Of the four types of love, only one can be chosen -- Agape. God did this intentionally because Agape is the most powerful, and echoes the love He has for us.

    Last week we began our series on the L Word with lust, as an example of what love is not. That means that tonight we will begin to learn about what love is. But which love are we talking about? If that question doesn’t make sense, don’t worry -- you’re not alone. We only have one ...read more
