  The Story Of Samson

  The story of Samson is the culmination of the book of Judges, a chronicle of Israel’s failure to live up to their divine calling after entering the promised land. In the same way, Samson failed to live up to his divine calling. His life parallels the history of Israel in many ways. This five-week series looks at Samson’s successes and failures and how God used him in spite of his shortcomings. Human sin carries serious consequences, but it cannot stop God from accomplishing his purposes.
