    About this ebook

    The Story of Samson, told from two very different perspectives.

    1. Samson ~ Main of Faith Keys from the story of Sampson, about the grace of god, how he loves us even in the midst of defeat and disgrace. This story is about the goodness of God to someone who's fallen over, fallen down. You are not beyond the reach of God no matter where you are today. The best days of our life are ahead of us if we're in the hands of God.

    2. Being a Peacemaker ~ Peacemakers and Escalation. Our hero of the faith was a rebellious, spoilt brat, who wanted his own way, in every single way. This was a man that was sleeping with prostitutes on his wedding night, because he got depressed, because his best man stole his wife. From what started out as a joke no-one understood, a fascinating cycle of violence ensues, based on: because you did this, I now have a right to do that. I merely did to them, what they did to me. This way of living will always bring death.

      Samson (2 sermons)

      The Story of Samson is told from two very different perspectives. Shane Willard talks about a joke that got out of hand, a spoiled brat's cycle of violence and revenge, and of Peacemakers and Escalation. I merely did to them, what they did to me. Mike Connell talks about the grace of god, how he loves us even in the midst of defeat and disgrace, and about the goodness of God to someone who's fallen over, fallen down.

      Being a Peacemaker (by Shane Willard) Peacemakers and Escalation. Our hero of the faith was a rebellious, spoilt brat, who wanted his own way, in every single way.

From what started out as a joke no-one understood, a fascinating cycle of violence ensues, based on: because you did this, I now have a right to do that. I merely did to them, what they did to me.

      Let me ask you a question, and be careful how quick you answer this inside. This is an internal question: If you could go to heaven without Jesus, is He still worth following? If heaven and hell wasn't the issue, is Jesus still worth following?

      You can't go to heaven without Jesus, but I think it's very important for us to play with that thought for a second. If you could go to heaven without Jesus, is He still worth following?

      If the answer to that is yes, then I would ask us why? If the answer to that is no, I would ask you, why are you using Him as a fire escape only?

      And that would also tell me why our lives are not victorious, and it's because we've become a group of people who are all about getting to go to heaven one day, and we've lost sight of the fact that Jesus is actually worth following, even if there was no such thing as heaven, because His way is the best way for our life.

      If, when we died, if we just died - Jesus is still the best way? He's still the best, and that comes down to faith. It comes down to trust. Do we really trust that His way is the best way for our life?

      Do we really believe that mercy is better than justice? Really, like do we really believe that? It's easy to believe that with other people, but do we
