The men and women in Scripture sometimes act as mirrors. The more we gaze at them, the more we see ourselves, and our desperate need for a Savior! Today on Discover the Word, we turn our attention to the flawed and vulnerable man of faith named Samson. Pull up a chair to the table today for Discover the Word!
Series Samson - the World's Strongest Man
This week's conversations revisit the story of the world’s strongest man. Pull a chair up to the table with Mart and Elisa and Bill as they explore together what the life of Samson contributes to the bigger story of Jesus. As a champion of Israel, Samson is a head-turner... and a head-scratcher. His birth was predicted by an angel in a way that created a Messianic-like anticipation. Yet the expectation was not fulfilled. As a young adult he became a supernaturally empowered womanizer--a vindictively violent man who ends up being honored by the New Testament as a man of faith. How could this be? And why? Be part of the Discover the Word group for a study of "Samson--the World's Strongest Man."
