The Book of Judges – April 13, 2025

Judges 16

Sometimes, being distracted matters, especially when we are distracted spiritually. Maybe you feel lost, and you don’t know where you are going. Or maybe your relationship with God feels lethargic and you feel apathetic in obeying Him. These are all symptoms of spiritual blindness that we all wrestle with.

Take heart! We have a God who wants to free us from our spiritual problems. He helps us with stories from the Bible. Today, I want to talk about the story of Samson, a man blessed with supernatural strength.

He’s kind of like the Bible’s version of the Incredible Hulk! He’s a literal one-man army. Here’s some context before we read our main passage, Samson had just fought against a thousand Philistine enemies all by himself. They attacked him when he didn’t have a weapon, so he found a random bone lying on the ground, and he killed all his enemies with it. Which is crazy, but it just shows how invincible he was! So, after killing an army of Philistines, he heads to Gaza which was their capital city!
