Thru the Bible: The Judges (Samson)

In today’s conversation we’re going to conclude our short walk through the book of Judges with the outlandish story of the final and probably most well-known judge—Samson. For the sake of our conversation, we’re going to break Samson’s story into three parts—his call, his character, and his consequences. We’ll see his life play out as a sort of symbolic embodiment of the cycle the Israelites keep perpetuating—a cycle which goes from strength to disobedience to failure to disaster—and we’ll discover within that cycle yet another story which points to the merciful and redemptive nature of our God. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let’s dive into the conversation.
