Samson - Samson's Small Steps to Ruin

Samson allowed bitterness and lack of forgives to lay out a path to ruin. He was unwilling to forgive his father in-law which led him to destructive patterns of ruin. He was unwilling to admit he was wrong and his ego destroyed his life. We need to pay close attention to the small things that can lead to ruin. Daily account with God where he has the freedom to point out areas of potential ruin.

Samson - Samson's Strength and Weakness

Samson: A story of strength and weakness 

Over these three weeks we will look at Samson’s life through that lens of temptation, weakness, unforgivness, revenge and surrender. As a person you can have all the attributes of greatness but in the end, emotional weakness can ruin your life. 

Feb 23 Samson’s strength and weakness

From birth Samson was set apart to be a judge for God but he allowed the outward beauty of a woman to catch his eye. It’s very easy to allow the worldly attractions to distract us from the strength God has placed in us. We all have temptations that try to draw us away and sometimes they are attractive.

Inside Out

Resilient - People Are Open to the Presence of God

We are created to be in union with God. When we are open to his presence we begin to see his hand in our daily routines and practices. We can find a strength and power that is offered to those that are open to his presence. Jesus experienced the presence of the father because practice his presence each day in his awareness of his work in his life.

Resilient - Live Unshackled from the Past

A huge part of learning to be resilient is the process of forgiveness. Our past is not something we can forget but we can be free from it. Yes, people will break trust, people will let you down and be selfish and we must learn to forgive so we can be free to move into the future. Jesus said we are to forgive 70 times 7. What did he mean and why was it important to live this way?

Speaker: Kath Spoelstra

Resilient - Prepare

One way to grow in our resilience is to develop a life of discipline. Discipline will prepare you for the moment that is unexpected. Disciplines are not formulas but are practices that mature you in life and faith.  We can also explore the idea of running with a few to grow resilience.

Resilient - Keeping The Big Picture In Mind

If we don’t know what the target is then we can’t hit it. Knowing what the big picture of life is about can help us navigate life and faith. Part of this is knowing how God has created you and to develop that character that helps you move towards the big picture. The writer of Philippians talked about pressing forward to the goal set before us.
