A Self-Centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 17, 2021

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
