“Love and Betrayal”

Judges 16:4-31

Introduction:

I.  For Samson, it's about love. Judges 16:4, 9, 15

 II.  For Delilah, it's about the money. Judges 16:5-6, 18

III. Some questions:

IV.  Tragic fall and final victory. Judges 16:17-31

V.  Samson provides us with a picture of the coming Savior.

Questions for reflection:

• How might the cutting of Samson's hair be a picture of the consequences of sinful choices in our own lives?
• Is there some sinful behavior that is robbing you of spiritual vigor?
• In what ways does the story of Samson prefigure the coming Savior Jesus Christ?
