Hello, and welcome back to Bible Study Basics with Mellie. In this episode we study Judges 13–17, covering the birth and life of Samson, his feats of strength and failures (including Delilah’s betrayal), his final act of sacrifice, and the moral decline in Israel shown through Micah’s idolatry. Mellie draws practical lessons about obedience, the proper use of God-given gifts, the danger of revenge, and how personal choices bring consequences. The episode closes with encouragement to return to God and rely on His strength.
