The strongest man in the Bible had to learn the reality of his own weakness and the true source of strength.

Today we learn spiritual truths from the life of Samson.

Let's join Scott Pauli now as we journey through the Word of God.

So many people have the idea that someday they're going to serve the Lord, that someday they're going to get it right.

Maybe that's you. Maybe you're thinking, someday I'm going to get saved.

Someday I'm going to get serious about my Christian faith.

Someday I'm going to really yield myself to Christ. Isn't it funny that someday never comes, that we keep putting it off and putting it off? God's desire and design is that

in the early days. God changed my life in the early days of my life and I believe that we're really

But let's go a little further than that. Could I point out to you today from Judges 13 in the
