Sunday Morning Preview - November 27, 2016

I hope everyone will be able to join me this Sunday morning at DCC as we begin the Advent season and continue our study in the Book of Judges.

As we have seen, the life of Samson clearly demonstrates the sinfulness of people and their great need for salvation. It is God’s desire that his people be holy and separate in response to his grace; but Samson, like Israel and far to often like us, is governed by what is right in his own eyes. 

This is a mind-set that is deeply evil in God’s sight - but before we get too carried away condemning the Israelites we need to ask ourselves — how prevalent is this sin in our day? 

How many Christians hold to positions that defy the scriptures simply because they are “right in their own eyes”? 

More on this and on the amazing grace of God who saves and empowers his servants in spite of this truth.

I hope everyone will be able to join me this Sunday morning at DCC as we turn our attention once again to the Book of Judges. As you may recall from a couple of weeks ago we are studying the life of Samson and so far we have focused on the faithfulness of God as seen in His continual presence with Israel in spite of their ongoing rebellion and idolatry. 

Far from serving as a moral example to be followed, Samson serves more as a testimony to God’s grace. His demonstrates that it is the Spirit of God who empowers his servants —  even though they do not deserve or earn it in any way. This may actually be the most encouraging news this book has to offer to the likes of you and I! Think about it. The Holy Spirit empowers His servants, despite their obvious sinful conduct and continual failings. That is very good news indeed!
