The Strong Man's Gamble, Just Like You, Pt 1

This message shows how Samson, a man set apart and empowered by God, repeatedly gambled with his calling by living carelessly in his flesh, yet never fell beyond the reach of God’s sovereign purpose. We’ll see that real strength is not in our gifting, personality, or willpower, but in humble dependence on the God who called us, is patient with us, and can still fulfill His purposes even through our failures.

The goal is to help us recognize the “gambles” we take with sin, compromise, and self-reliance, and to call us back to a life that trusts God’s strength instead of our own. Samson’s story becomes both a warning against presuming on God’s grace and an invitation to return to Him, believing that His patience, discipline, and purpose are still at work in us.

See you Sunday!
