Samson and Delilah

March 22, 2015 ()

Bible Text: Judges 16:1-31 |

Series:

People in Scripture, like us, are full of misconceptions. In this account we see that Samson has a misconception concerning his strength. Like us, he thinks himself strong enough to stay in temptation and not flee to hope and trust in God. We're strong when we acknowledge our weakness and come to Christ humbly and in dependence on him.



Judges

In the time of the Judges, there was no king. As a result the people of Israel did what was right in their own eyes. The time of the Judges is a time of chaos and turmoil, the people longed for a king. Our time is full of chaos and turmoil, it should cause us to long for the King—Jesus Christ.
