The Story of Samson

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We are in our new summer teaching series called "Campfire Stories" in which we are exploring stories in the Old Testament and what we as followers of Jesus can learn from both the people involved and God. We can learn from any story and anyone. We can learn something from everyone, how to be like them or how to be different from them. And every story points to Jesus and the need for Jesus. We explored the life of Samson and how even though he was called to be set up part (holy) he was led by desires which lead to chaos in his life. Below are some key take aways from the message.

-God’s anointing was always about purpose not perfection.
-Disordered desires are a dangerous driver because many desires tend to direct us to destruction more often than deliverance.
-Sometimes losing everything is the only way to see everything.
-God’s purposes can be accomplished through people regardless of their flaws, failures, and unfaithfulness.
-Strengths not surrendered to The Spirit will sabotage you, not save you.
-Redemption is possible for anyone.

We hope you lean into the Spirit of God who will help order your desires to lead to Christ, rather than chaos!
