Samson: The Real Iron Man – Discussion Questions

Samson – The Real Ironman from CCBC Media on Vimeo.

Topic: Samson: The Real Iron Man
Speaker: John Mark Caton
Text: Judges 13-16
Date: June 2, 2013

What

  • What was the pattern that the Israelite people had established in their relationship with God during the time of the Judges? How does this compare with the behavior of Samson?
  • What is a Nazarite vow? What was the purpose that Samson was supposed to fulfill and how does the Nazarite vow relate to this purpose?
  • Why did Samson’s father want Samson to not marry a Philistine?
  • Did Samson fulfill the role to which he was called? Why?

So What

  • What were the results of Samson being led by unchecked passion?
  • What are the results of an unbridled anger in a person’s life?
  • How does pride limit a person’s potential?

Now What

  • Are you chasing after something that is sweet, ignoring that it is embodied in something that is dead?
  • Samson made a riddle out of his sin? Are you taking pleasure in something that demonstrates you are not where God would have you?
  • Will you make a commitment to repent of your sin and commit serve God and him alone?

New Audio Download Links

The most consistently popular post on any of my blogs is my list of links to free online audio downloads of Lectures, Seminars, Sermons, & Debates. I have recently added to this list two new links that I would like to draw to your attention. Currently, there are more than 5,000 downloads a month from the sermon archives at Bent Tree Bible Fellowship. And, Barry Creamer has returned to the World of Blog and has up links to download his radio broadcasts on Jerry Johnson Live and some of his most recent sermons. Both are excellent resources. Check them out.

Bent Tree Archive

The MP3 sermon archive from Bent Tree Bible Fellowship featuring sermons by Pete Briscoe, Stuart Briscoe, Steve Pruitt, Scott Dyer, and others.

Barry Creamer

Check out both his sermons and radio broadcasts. Barry teaches Humanities at Criswell College and Philosophy at other local Universities. I consider him to be one of the greatest preachers I know.

Preacher or Husband / Father?

I plead guilty. Like most preachers I don’t do as good a job as I could of keeping my family’s life private. My wife and kids appear as characters in far too many of my sermon illustrations (and blog posts). It is tough enough to live in a glass house without your husband / father exposing you further. I heard one pastor say that he always asks his family members for permission before including them in a narrative. That is probably good advice.

And, now for those of you who just don’t get it, here is an educational video:
