Sometimes delays are actually God’s protection and preparation, just as He led the Israelites the long way to the Promised Land. No matter how things look, the story is not over—God is always working behind the scenes. Just like Samson’s hair grew back, Joseph went from prison to the palace, and Lazarus was raised, what seems like a dead end is often a setup for God’s power. Trust God’s timing—your story is still being written!

This sermon, "Redeeming Love," concludes the "Looking for Love" series, emphasizing the importance of putting Jesus first in relationships. Using the story of Samson, it warns against pride, unchecked desires, and small compromises that lead to downfall. Despite his failures, Samson’s final prayer for strength shows that God’s mercy is always available. The message encourages surrendering desires to God, choosing relationships that strengthen faith, and trusting in God's redemption.

Join us as we explore the life of Samson, a man with great physical strength but deep spiritual weakness, who continually ignored red flags in his relationships. He stayed in places he didn’t belong, fell for manipulation, and relied on his own strength instead of God’s. His downfall came when he finally gave away his secret, but even in his weakest moment, God’s grace was still at work. This message challenges us to recognize warning signs, break free from what’s holding us back, and trust that God’s strength is greater than our struggles.Join us Sunday's 8:15 | 10:00 | 11:45 Authentic Church 2416 N Center St Hickory, NC 28601 (Beside Planet Fitness) GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

This week, we dive deeper into the story of Samson and the dangers of poor communication in relationships. Samson had physical strength but was spiritually weak—falling in love with what he was called to defeat. His unchecked emotions led to manipulation, isolation, and destruction.
