Whom amongst us has not heard of the great strength of Samson? Was not slaying 1,000 Philistines with nothing but a jawbone of a donkey and tearing apart a lion and bringing down a temple building with nothing but his mere hands not impressive? One can’t help but dream what it must have been like to have been given supernatural strength and assigned the role of fighting to free God’s people from those whom subjugated them for over 40 years! While it is very tempting to place Samson on a pedestal so high that it overshadows our own “trivial” callings, one must not forget he was not chosen because of his holiness but so that in his weakness God’s power over His enemies might be made known. This sermon is going to examine Samson’s encounter with the Philistines and conclude that his physical strength was also accompanied by great weaknesses of sin in form of being unequally yoked, seeking vengeance for personal gain and forgetting the power of God whom granted him his victories.
