Samson went down to the city of Timnah where he saw a Philistine woman. When he returned home, he said to his father and mother, “I saw a Philistine woman in Timnah. I want you to get her for me so I can marry her.” His father and mother answered, “Surely there is a woman from Israel you can marry. Do you have to marry a woman from the Philistines, who are not circumcised?” But Samson said, “Get that woman for me! She is the one I want!” (Samson’s parents did not know that the LORD wanted this to happen because he was looking for a way to challenge the Philistines, who were ruling over Israel at this time.)

A 4-day devotional inspired by the movie, SAMSON, based on the original epic story found in Judges 13-16. SAMSON was set apart and chosen by God, and given supernatural strength to bring hope and freedom to God’s people. He made some bad choices, but God enabled him to finish strong, and become a hero of faith we read about later in Hebrews 11. Plan written by Cassie Littel

For about a year and a half, I struggled with something. I couldn’t quite name it or figure it out; I just knew something wasn’t right. I discovered that the devil was DISTRACTING me! I share about how this dangerous ploy of the enemy can be used to destroy the calling and purpose God has for us and how we can put an end to it!
The Bible doesn't shy away from the reality of masculine instincts, nor all of the ways those instincts can lead to destruction. Examining the lives of five men from the Bible, The 5 Masculine Instincts shows that these men aren't masculine role models or heroes but are men who wrestled with their own desires and, by faith, matured them into something better.

Samson is perhaps one of the most head-scratching characters in the Old Testament. Although anointed by God, his life didn’t always reflect it. Join us as we study his time as the last judge of Israel in Judges 13-16 and see how we are not so different from Samson and how God can truly use anyone to accomplish His purposes.
