The Weakness of a Strong Deliverer

The character and eventual physical weaknesses on full display in Samson as Israel's judge and deliverer in Judges 14-16 show us that no matter how great the gifts and abilities of God's leader, deliverance is wholly from the LORD.

1. A strong deliverer who does right in
   his own eyes (14:1-20)

2. A strong deliverer motivated by
   revenge (15:1-20)

3. A strong deliverer made weak but
   given victory in faith (16:1-31)
