About this episode
Pastor Tom Hendrikse reflects on the story of Samson to encourage faithfulness and surrender to God's will.
Pastor Tom Hendrikse reflects on the story of Samson in Judges 14, where desire and impulse lead him to pursue what is “right in his own eyes” instead of God’s will. Even in human failure, we see God still at work, confronting what stands against Him and calling His people to faithfulness. This message invites us to examine what we are pursuing, reject the lies that there is no hope or it is too late, and surrender our lives to the love of Jesus.
