Samson: When Desire Weakens Devotion

When Desire Weakens Devotion explores the life of one of Scripture’s most impressive figures and reveals how great strength can coexist with spiritual drift. Though miraculously called and powerfully used by God, Samson’s life shows how unchecked desires and small compromises slowly erode devotion. This message traces how spiritual drift rarely begins with open rebellion, but with rationalized choices that feel right in the moment. As Samson’s story unfolds, we see the danger of presuming on God’s power while neglecting God’s presence. Yet even at the lowest point, God’s mercy meets Samson in weakness and points us forward to a greater Deliverer. This sermon invites us to examine where desire may be weakening devotion and to return to a life of renewed dependence on the Lord.
