It is not if you will fail, it is what you do when you fail. Samson failed time and time again and God still gave him grace. During his most vulnerable moment at the end of his life, he called out to God for one last moment of strength and God gave it to him. If you feel like a failure today, Pastor Dave has three points that will help you move past your failures. Just because you have failed doesn't make you a failure.
No one wakes up and decides that they want to ruin their marriage, get addicted to drugs, or declare bankruptcy. Just like Samson took the 25-mile journey into enemy territory that eventually lead to his death, it is the small steps that can take our lives to where we never intended. Pastor Dave brings us three points from Samson's life that we can learn from.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. (Proverbs 27:17) In today's culture, it's easy to trade real friendships for imitation friendships.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrew 11:1) Throughout the Bible, God shows His faithfulness to those that put Him first and put their faith in Him. In this standalone message, we look at four different men in the Bible who do just that.
