Samson

Hebrews challenges the traditional understanding of Samson by listing him by name in the Hall of Faith. The account of his life in Judges is unique in many ways: it is from birth to death; it receives more space than any other judge; he did more exploits than any other judge; he stood alone for his entire judgeship; and he achieved the least amount of deliverance for the nation by the time he died. The sermon shows that there are a number of important messages communicated through the life of Samson, both negatively and positively.
