    You might not know this but I am a Chicago Cubs fan. The Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908 when they beat the Detroit Tigers. So there are a lot of joke about the losing ways of the Cubs. One of those jokes makes a good introduction to this message. A Cubs fan passed away and ...read more

    Contributed by Rich Cook on Jul 2, 2012

     | 10,769 views

    A study of waste and wasted potential. Samson had such potential to be a great man of God. Instead of treasuring the gifts he'd been given, he wasted his strength on his own desires.

    What a Waste Seeds: some background notes from a Steve Malone message/outline. 1. I’m aggravated by waste. 2. Waste: wasted time (waiting in line, or at the doctor, or to get your driver’s license), wasted food (seeing food thrown away, or left on the plate), wasted money (government ...read more

    Making Something Good Out Of Something Bad

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 10, 2016
     | 6,434 views

    God is never responsible for evil acts, but he is so wise that he uses evil acts to accomplish his good purposes. God oversees our wicked actions. No sin happens that God does not deliberately allow.

    God can take something evil and use it for his glory. Does that seem strange to you? Well, it is strange, but we must remember that God works in ways that may seem to be strange to us. In the reading we heard from the Book of Judges a few minutes ago, we heard an example of how God takes ...read more

    There were warnings signs that Samson's marriage was bringing him down but he did not take heed instead continued to allow his desires, his disrespect, his disobedience and his his deception to overcome him. We can learn many things from his life.

Have you seen these kinds of signs? 1. "Do not Breathe under the water" - of course, you cannot breathe under the ...read more

The four D's of Samson's downfall - His Desire, His Disrespect, His Disobedience and His Deception. First, he was overwhelmed by his desire for the woman. When he went to Timnah, he ...read more

     | 6,185 views

    The Story Of Samson Is One Of The Saddest In The Bible. David, Elijah, Peter, Moses, Jacob, all came back. Samson did, but partially. He was gifted to be God’s man in Israel’s critical hour. But he misused his privilege and partially fulfilled his mission - an example for us all.
