Overview
“Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah, Baby, You can bet their love they didn’t deny, Your words say split but your words they lie, ’Cause when we kiss, Fire,” Bruce Springsteen and the Pointer Sisters sang. Classic song, but sad evidence that the Bible character Samson is remembered more for his lustful passions than his divine calling, leadership, or faith. You don’t know whether to cheer, laugh, or cry when you read the story of Samson. In the end it’s a cautionary tale. But the one thing that’s louder and clearer than Samson’s failures is God’s grace. Whew! This study will explore the marks of Samson’s life: fearlessness, failure, and faith.
