    The Perils Of Confronting Evil Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Aug 19, 2008
     | 7,523 views

    Samson confronts the Philistines while the Israelites cower and wonder about their future. What they don’t realize is that allowing evil to continue will destroy their future.

    THE PERILS OF CONFRONTING EVIL “The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing” (Edmund Burke, English Philosopher). Confrontation is never easy. It is probably the last thing any of us really wants to do. When we see a brother or sister in Christ behaving ...read more

    MAJOR MISCALCULATIONS Samson Introduction It was a party to end all parties. The main entertainment was a tragic comic display.

    Everybody Is Not Your Friend/Smiling Faces Tell Lies

    In life we must realize that everyone that smiles in your face isn’t always your friend. Every body standing in your corner is not always in your corner. Smiling faces do at times tell lies.

    Sermonic Theme: “Everybody Is Not Your Friend” with the undercutting theme of “Smiling Faces Tell Lies” Now whichever theme suits your need, you have a choice. Everybody Is Not Your Friend, or Smiling Faces Tell Lies. This sermon is one of great difficulty and pain to preach because when my ...read more

    Samson was reckless. He became arrogant in his self pursuits always assuming that God would bless him because he was special. He virtually abandoned his spiritual life over the course of 20 years then was shocked that God was gone. In the end, he lost

    Last week we learned that Samson was special. Even before he was born God had put a call on his life and all Samson had to do was walk into his calling. His calling was clear, God wanted to use Samson to move the Israelites out of their complacency because they were losing their identity. They ...read more

    Samson lost his power with God because Satan found his price. Many in the church today are selling out for less than Samson did? Do you hve a price that you will accept to forget your loyalty and integrity in serving the Lord?

    WHAT IS YOUR PRICE? By Pastor Jim May Judges 16:4-22 Judges 16:4-5, "And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, ...read more

    Samson was man of supernatural strength given by God but was overwhelmed by the inward sexual desire through the enticement of Delilah. He should have run, but he did not. We can learn valuable lessons from his life.

    We are now in chapter 16 of the Book of Judges. We have been studying the life of Samson. Last week, we looked at the highlights of Samson's life - the three W's - Samson's Wedding, Samson's Wager and Samson's Wrath. We have learned first of all that Samson insisted in marrying the woman in Timnah ...read more
