Failing Forward
By: Troy Schreiner
Judges 16:23-31
Many people's, greatest fear is failure, and the greatest pain of many is regret. When we fail, (and we all do fail to serve God perfectly!) all too often we choose remorse, and take steps backwards deeper into failure or despair. Yet, what we really need is repentance. because even in our failures of God can still accomplish his purposes! The Bible is full of them-Peter, Paul, an our focus for this series-Samson. As we see god call Samson back to him after his failures, its a reminder for us that God gently restores us when we fail, and uses us, flawed, broken, failing people that we are, to accomplish his purposes! In the end, its not about Samson's strength or his weakness. Its about God's strength, and his mercy!

He did it one step at a time. All the little compromises Samson made added up to spiritual destruction. All the little compromises in our lives add up, too, leading us on a path to spiritual destruction. Being in the Word opens our eyes to this deadly downward spiral and empowers us to step onto a different path.Text: Judges 16:1-22Video: https://youtu.be/1qgEkbP9O7U

We're strong when we acknowledge what we truly deserve from God, as well as our inability to truly help ourselves.Text: Judges 14:1-20Video: https://youtu.be/xqqKAnKPXkk
