When Strong People are Weak

June 3, 2018

Lust, entitlement, and pride are the attitudes that made Samson hopelessly weak, even though the world saw him as incredibly strong.  We’re strong when we acknowledge what we truly deserve from God as well as our inability to truly help ourselves.

Small Steps Toward Big Destruction

June 10, 2018

Samson didn’t ruin his life all at once.  He did it one step at a time.  All the little compromises in our lives add up.  Being in the Word opens our eyes to this deadly downward spiral and empowers us to step onto a different path.

Failing Forward

June 17, 2018 (Father’s Day)

A man’s greatest fear is failure, and his greatest pain is regret. When we fail, we choose remorse all too often. Yet, what we really need is repentance.  Even in our failures, God can still accomplish His purpose.
