Samson’s victory through death points us to a greater hero who destroys the enemy

through His death and is resurrected victoriously over it.

The first thing God does to deliver His people is to create conflict with their idols with which they’ve grown comfortable and apathetic because God loves His people too much to allow them to remain comfortable with false hopes.

God has a plan for the redemption of His people from the tyranny of the enemy and is working in the midst of their cultural enmeshment to call them out and deliver them for His good purpose.

The Gospel fundamentally transforms how we relate to each other: with radical others-centeredness.

Success in ministry is not measured by the end result, it is measured by our faithfulness to the task.

Jesus has restored our created purpose and identity as image bearers.

It turns out that the baby Zechariah was longing for wasn’t his own, because the Light of Jesus had broken into the darkness to visit and redeem us.

Jesus is the satisfactions to the longings you’ve never even expressed, the answer to the questions you are too afraid to ask.

God sends a savior to redeem the unrepentant and sends grand signals to pave the way so that we won’t miss it.

Jesus was the chaste sacrifice devoted to death by the Father in order to lift the curse on His people and to secure victory over the enemy.
