Samson – the Weak Superhero

Samson – the Weak Superhero Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD, so the LORD delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years… (Judges 13:1) Then Samson prayed to the LORD, “O Sovereign LORD, remember me.

Samson – the Weak Superhero How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! … (Psalm 133:1) Our World – Their World

Samson – the Weak Superhero And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength… (Hebrews 11:32-34)

Samson – the Weak Superhero Letting God turn our weaknesses to Strength And the LORD did an amazing thing while Manoah and his wife watched: As the flame blazed up from the altar toward heaven, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame. Seeing this, Manoah and his wife fell with their faces to the ground… (Judges 13:19-20)
